1. How old does anchovies begin to reproduce Anchovies have a short life span, so their adulthood is also relatively fast. Under normal feeding, they can mature in about 3-4 months. If reared in a comfortable environment and in a proper way, they may mature within 3 months. Although they can mature within 3 months, it is not recommended to let newly mature anchovies reproduce, because they are just adults and their sexual organs are unstable, and reproduction will affect the quality of offspring at this time.
Anchovies reproduce frequently, and their reproduction is not restricted by seasons, so long as they live in a comfortable environment, they can reproduce. If breeders want them to reproduce, they'd better give them a stable environment.
2. How to raise the small fish bred by anchovies1. The environment is stable: the small fish bred by anchovies are still fragile, and the breeder needs to keep the water temperature at about 26 ℃ and the PH value between 7.2 and 7.4. Within one week of their birth, the fluctuation of water temperature cannot exceed 1 ℃. If the water quality is not dirty, try not to change the water.
2. Reasonable feeding: Newborn anchovies can't eat yet, and they will carry vitellotin at birth. The nutrients in vitellotin can be absorbed by them for 2-3 days. Therefore, breeders can wait for them to try to feed food after 2-3 days, and the food to be fed can choose high nutrition and digestible food such as shrimp eggs, cooked egg yolk and paramecium.
