Traffic light fish reproduce. They are oviparous and like to lay their eggs on aquatic plants. Manually raised traffic light fish usually mature at the age of 6 months, but most traffic light fish will reproduce at the age of 8 months. Because they are just mature at the age of 6 months, and their organs are still unstable, they cannot reproduce immediately. Moreover, they also have higher requirements for the breeding environment. If the breeding environment is not suitable, they will not breed. If breeders want them to reproduce, they must adjust their living environment.
2. How to breed traffic light fish1. Prepare a breeding tank: Before breeding traffic light fish, you need to prepare a breeding tank, then put the breeding tank in a semi-cloudy place, and add brown silk or golden silk grass.
2. Prepare breeding water: Traffic light fish also have strict requirements on breeding water, and need to use weak acidic soft water, with PH value between 5.6-6.8 and water temperature between 25-26 ℃. Distilled water can be chosen if conditions permit. Before they reproduce, oxygen should be injected into them to ensure sufficient dissolved oxygen in the water.
3, parent fish into the tank: At this time, the breeder can put the mature parent fish into the breeding tank, and they will pair and reproduce by themselves after entering the tank. Generally, they enter the tank in the evening and lay eggs early the next morning.
4. Hatching: It usually takes about 36 hours for eggs laid by traffic light fish to hatch. When rearing artificially, it is necessary to ensure that the hatching temperature is constant, so that the hatching speed will be faster.
