red and green light fish grow slowly, and its life span is not long. Under normal circumstances, it can only live for about 2-3 years. If we want to prolong their life, we should provide them with a good living environment as far as possible. Appropriate water temperature and good water quality will help to prolong their life.
The fish reaches sexual maturity, or adulthood, at about 6 months. But 8-10 months is the best age for them to breed. This kind of fish has higher requirements for the surrounding environment and is more picky during the breeding period. If we want them to reproduce normally, we must control the external factors such as water quality, water temperature, light intensity and so on.
? Traffic lights are most suitable for breeding when they are 8 to 10 months old. They have very high requirements for the environment during the breeding period, the water quality should be kept good at all times, and the PH should be kept at 5.6-6.8. In addition, the fish tank should be placed in a place with weak light, preferably in a place without strong direct light, and kept relatively quiet.
Lantern fish can only breed once a year, and the breeding season is between August and October every year. Well-developed fish can reproduce when they are six months old in suitable conditions. The fish can lay about 150 eggs at a time. The water in the tank should be changed before breeding, because the fish are very sensitive, and changing the water during breeding may stimulate them. The temperature of the new water should be kept at about 25 ℃. Small fish should be fished out in time after breeding, otherwise they may be eaten by big fish.
