Mickey fish will enter the breeding season when the breeding process. The breeding of Mickey fish is quite different from other fish, they are usually ovoviviparous, that is, the eggs will hatch in their stomach, and then give birth to small fish. When they are about to give birth to small fish, they will have some obvious characteristics, which can be used to determine whether they are about to give birth.
First, you can look at their abdomens. When they are about to give birth, their abdomen will become very swollen and some fetal spots will appear. In addition, the color of these spots will gradually darken, which indicates that Mickey fish is about to give birth. In addition, their appetite and behavior can also be observed. When they are about to give birth, their appetite will be reduced and they will not like to eat; They are also less active and will stay in a corner and not move. In addition, you can also observe their reproductive mouth, when they are about to give birth, their reproductive mouth will appear very prominent, relatively easy to observe. After the small fish is born, it is better to isolate the small fish from the big fish to avoid the big fish eating the newly born small fish.
Mickey fish can reproduce after entering the stage of sexual maturity. Generally speaking, their pregnancy cycle is 28-31 days, which is relatively long. After production, they will consume more physical strength, so they can not continue to reproduce, so most of them can only reproduce once a year, and fewer can reproduce many times a year.
