Mickey fish can reproduce after sexual maturity. Generally speaking, the Mickey fish's sexual function mature only takes less than half a year. The young fish can mate after growing for 5 to 6 months. The age of less than 5 months of Mickey fish, sexual function is not fully mature, is not able to reproduce. If you want them to mature ahead of time, you can add olive leaves to the water to promote estrus. They can produce 3 to 4 times a month after sexual maturity, and their reproduction speed is very fast. Focus on the midges as they enter the breeding season, especially the females who are about to give birth. After the number of young fish becomes more, the tanks should be separated in time, otherwise the breeding density is too large to be conducive to growth.
There is no time limit for the breeding of the Mickey fish, but it is related to the water temperature and the feeding conditions. If a stable environment with suitable temperature can be provided, it can breed all year round. If the ambient temperature is too low, even sexually mature Mickey fish will not mate and reproduce. It is possible for males and females to mate in waters with temperatures above 25 C and high oxygen content. After successful fertilization, the female fish will be able to produce small fry in about a month. Attention should be paid to the isolation of small fish from female fish after production, so as to avoid small fish being eaten as food.
