The eggs laid by traffic light fish are granular, and their size and shape are similar to sorghum rice. If it is fertilized fish eggs, it will become translucent. If it is an unfertilized fish egg, it will turn white.
Before laying eggs, the belly of traffic light fish will become larger and their body color will become lighter. Before laying eggs, they also look for a suitable place and drive away other fish.
2. How can traffic light fish lay eggs1. Choose parent fish: If you want traffic light fish to lay eggs, you should choose mature parent fish for pairing. Only after successful pairing can reproduction be carried out.
2. Water quality: The water quality of traffic light fish should be adjusted when laying eggs, and the PH value should be controlled between 5.6-6.8 and GH between 1-3.5. The water used for reproduction needs to be distilled before it can be used, and the tap water needs to be treated with ion exchange resin before it can be used.
3. Water temperature: When breeding, traffic light fish need to keep the water temperature between 25-26 ℃. It is best to use a heating rod to keep the water temperature constant without temperature difference.
4. Environment: Artificial fish nests such as brown silk or golden silk grass should be put in the breeding tank, and shading should be paid attention to to avoid too strong light affecting their reproduction. When breeding, keep quiet. Keep the above points, and the traffic light fish can lay eggs on their own. After spawning, the breeder needs to separate the parent fish from the fish eggs to avoid the parent fish eating the fish eggs.
