Mickey fish are oviparous fish, which are fertilized and developed in vivo. As adults, Mickey fishes mate by themselves. When mating, male fishes insert their genitals into the female fishes' drainage holes, and then discharge sperm into the female fishes. It takes about 28-31 days for the eggs of female fish to develop after fertilization, and the small fish can mature.
When the breeder finds that their fetal spots become darker and their abdomen is very enlarged, it means that they are about to give birth. Because Mickey fish produce small fish, their production speed will be slow, and it will take about 2 days to complete the production.
2. How long does it take for Mickey to give birth to small fishMickey fish are oviparous fish, and it takes about 28-31 days for them to mate and produce. Because they are oviparous fish, young fish need to mature in the mother before they are born, so it takes longer for them to mate and give birth. In addition, compared with other fish, Mickey fish has a relatively long production time. Under normal circumstances, it takes 1-2 days to complete the production, and some of them are produced for the first time, and may last for 2-3 days. Because they give birth to small fish, it takes more energy to produce. Parent fish give birth to a part, rest for a while, and then continue to produce after their physical strength recovers.
