Medaka are oviparous, and they have a strong ability to reproduce, almost all year round. During the breeding period, the male fish will occupy the territory after estrus, and their pelvic fins will turn black. After occupying the territory, the pregnant female fish will come forward to mate. After 2-3 days of successful mating, they will lay eggs. About 8-14 days after laying eggs, the fertilized eggs will hatch into young fish. After the spawning of the parent fish is completed, the breeder needs to isolate them as soon as possible so that they do not eat the eggs by mistake.
How and how often does the medaka reproduce?

1. How to breed

medaka? Medaka have a strong reproductive capacity. If the environment is suitable, their reproduction is not limited by season and time. When the male medaka is in heat, a black line appears between the eyes and the pelvic fins turn black. At this time, the male fish will occupy the territory, but the female fish without eggs or the male fish without heat will come forward to drive away, and the female fish with eggs will come forward to mate. The female fish will lay eggs 2-3 days after successful mating. After the female fish lays eggs, the breeder needs to fish them out as soon as possible to prevent them from eating the newly laid eggs. Fish eggs can be hatched in a stable environment for about 8-14 days, and small fish that are successfully hatched do not need to be fed immediately, and can be fed after they can move freely.

2. How often does the medaka breed? The breeding speed

of medaka is faster. If their living environment is more comfortable and stable, they can spawn once in about 2-3 days, and then after a period of rest, they can continue to breed. So they can breed many times a year. If breeders want them to breed in large numbers, they can prepare a breeding tank for them, put the female fish that is about to spawn into it, and then put it back into the original tank after spawning, so as to ensure the safety of the eggs and not affect the normal life of other fish.
