For the newly born Mickey fish, it is still difficult to distinguish between male and female. When they grow older, they can gradually distinguish between male and female. Specifically, there are the following three aspects:
1. Anal fin shape: First of all, the appearance of their anal fin is quite different. The anal fin of the female fish is the same shape as that of the general fish, which is fan-shaped. But the anal fin of the male fish is a special shape, arrow-shaped, and has evolved into a shape more like a small stick.
2. Abdominal hard line: In addition, you can also judge by touching their abdomen. If the female fish, then their abdomen will have a very obvious hard line, a touch can be felt. If it is a male fish, then their abdomen will be relatively smooth, there is no hard line.
3. Differentiation of breeding period: If the Mickey fish is in the breeding period, then it is easier to distinguish. Those whose bellies become enlarged and have fetal spots on them are female fish. Those who love to chase the female fish are male fish. During the breeding season, their size can also be judged, and the size of the female fish will be relatively large.
Mickey fish male and female fish can be put together mixed culture. Their temperament is relatively mild, love quiet, as long as there is enough food, there will be no competition for behavior. Their habits and characteristics are relatively consistent, and it is easier to adjust the surrounding environment. Moreover, when they have just been produced, they can not be divided into male and female, and they can be raised together.
