1, the parent fish chooses: The blue man dragon's reproduction is quite simple. First of all, we should choose the right parent fish. To choose healthy and disease-free, moderate size, appearance is also relatively good-looking blue Manlong as a parent fish. Although Blue Manlong has the ability to reproduce after six or seven months of breeding, it is better to choose older fish as parent fish, so that the effect of reproduction is good.
2. Prepare the fish tank: It is better not to breed in the original fish tank. Try to prepare a suitable breeding tank and adjust the water temperature to about 25 degrees. After that, the selected parent fish can be put in.
3. Spawning and fertilization: After being placed in the tank, the male will begin to chase the female. After a period of time, the female fish will be observed to spawn, and then the male fish will discharge sperm to complete the fertilization process.
4. Hatching: After the process of fertilization is completed, it is best to fish out the female fish and put them in a separate place to restore their energy. The male fish can stay in the tank to take care of the eggs and then the young fish. In the case of suitable water temperature, hatching can be successful in about a day or two. The newly hatched fish do not need to be fed, and then they can be slowly fed with egg yolk and other food.
In the process of breeding, the parent fish may eat the small fish. However, it is usually the female that eats the small fish. Therefore, after the process of fertilization is complete, the female can be removed and left alone in a tank to recover, leaving the male to take care of the eggs and hatchlings in the tank. During this period, the male fish usually does not eat, and will always take care of the small fish. When the minnows leave the shoal, the male swallows them in his mouth and then spits them back into the shoal.
