Zebrafish enter sexual maturity at an earlier age. When they are about 3 months old, they can reproduce. However, it is better to choose zebrafish over 6 months of age for breeding. They are very reproductive and can continue to reproduce after resting for about a week after spawning. However, it is not recommended to breed the same fish frequently, otherwise it may lead to genetic deterioration.
How old and how often do zebrafish breed?

1. how old can zebrafish reproduce

The age of sexual maturity of zebrafish is relatively fast. Generally speaking, if they are carefully bred, they can enter the stage of sexual maturity after three months of breeding. At this time, although they can reproduce, but because they are relatively young at this time, the effect of reproduction will not be very good, so it is best not to enter the sexual maturity immediately after reproduction. Generally speaking, after they are sexually mature, they can be bred for about three months, at which time their age conditions are more appropriate, and the effect of breeding offspring is better.

2. how often do zebrafish reproduce

Zebrafish not only enter sexual maturity at an earlier age, but also their reproductive capacity is relatively strong. They lay a lot of eggs each time, each time they can lay hundreds of eggs, and some can even reach more than 1000. Not only that, after one reproduction, they can continue to reproduce after a period of rest, and some can reproduce many times.

Specifically, the parent fish can continue to reproduce after resting for about a week. However, it should be noted that this is in the case of suitable surroundings. Therefore, what we need to do is to provide a suitable rest environment for parent fish, at this time, we need to ensure that the water temperature is appropriate, as far as possible around 25 degrees, and then provide adequate food and oxygen, and pay attention to clean water quality and so on. Only when the recuperation environment is suitable, can they recover quickly and continue to enter the next breeding process.
