Zebra fry generally only need about 3 months from birth to adulthood, and their growth speed is relatively fast compared with other fish. Under normal breeding, they can grow by 1 cm a month, so it only takes about 3 months to develop into adults. Their specific adult time depends on the breeding environment.
When they are raised artificially, if they can live in a comfortable environment and have sufficient nutrition, they may mature in about 2 months. If they grow in an unstable environment and are not fed enough food, it will take them 4-5 months. There are some slow-growing zebrafish, which may take 6 months.
2. How to raise zebrafish fry quickly1. Water temperature: The most suitable water temperature for zebrafish is between 24-26 ℃. Breeders need to use heating rods to keep the water temperature in a stable range, so as to speed up their growth and make their growth state better.
2. Food: Zebrafish has a miscellaneous diet and can eat many kinds of food. If breeders want to make them grow faster, it is best to feed them with animal feeds such as prawns, red worms, water fleas, water lice and water earthworms. These foods contain more protein and fat, which can speed up their growth.
