Kissing fish are oviparous. They do not build nests to lay eggs, but lay them directly in the water. After fertilization, the eggs will be amber. So when they breed, the breeder needs to prepare a breeding tank and plant some aquatic plants in the tank so that the eggs can stay on it. If no aquatic plants are planted, the eggs will always float on the surface of the water. Kissing fish do not have the habit of protecting their eggs, so breeders need to fish them out as soon as possible after spawning to prevent them from eating them.
1. Is the kissing fish viviparous or oviparous
? Like most fish, the kissing fish is viviparous. They do not have the habit of protecting their eggs, nor do they build nests before giving birth, but lay their eggs directly in the water. Before laying eggs, breeders need to prepare a breeding tank of 80 * 40 * 40 cm, plant some aquatic plants in the tank, or put some floating aquatic plants on the water surface. Let the fish eggs have a place to stay, which can also avoid the parent fish eating the fish eggs by mistake. Because kissing fish do not have the habit of protecting eggs, and they consume a lot of physical energy after spawning, it is easy to eat fish eggs as food. So breeders need to isolate them immediately after spawning to prevent them from eating the eggs. When the kissing fish
is in heat, the male fish will keep swimming around the female fish. When they are in the right position, they will wrap the female fish in a U shape, and then the female fish will begin to lay eggs. After the female fish lays eggs, the male fish will inseminate immediately. At this time, the breeding of parent fish is completed, and the breeder needs to fish them out immediately to prevent them from eating the eggs by mistake, and then hatch them artificially. Kissing fish hatching time is faster, about a day or so can be hatched successfully, small fish born 2-3 days, can move on their own. After birth, young fish need to be fed with a large amount of water to ensure that they are well nourished. In about 3 days, you can feed some shrimp eggs or red worms, and in about half a month, you can eat the same food as adult kissing fish.
