The male fish usually bites the stomach of the female fish in courtship. Usually, after the breeding season, the fish will begin to mate naturally, and the male and female fish will often move together and eat together. There will also be chases, and they will become more and more frequent. When the female releases a pheromone just before spawning, the male bumps his head into the female's abdomen to encourage her to ovulate.
1. Ensure maturity: If a fish wants to breed, it must first reach sexual maturity. Different fish have different maturity periods. Small fish can generally breed in a few months, while larger ones will take longer. After sexual maturity, the abdomen of the female fish tends to bulge, at which time it can reproduce.
2. Male and female pairing: Before preparing for reproduction, be sure to pair the male and female, put the fish into the tank according to a certain proportion of male and female, and then wait for them to complete the pairing by themselves. Successful pairing of fish will often be paired activities, this time it is necessary to fish out of breeding, so as not to spawn after being attacked by other fish.
3. Waiting for spawning: Usually the time for the fish to spawn is in the evening or late at night. Before spawning, its fetal spots will become particularly obvious, and the female fish will find some quiet places to hide. It is better to plant water plants in advance, so that the eggs can have a place to attach, which is conducive to its survival.
4. Fry rearing: After the fish eggs are produced, the male fish and female fish need to be fished out to prevent them from swallowing the fish eggs. Then wait for the eggs to hatch, the first day of hatching is not necessary to feed, wait until the second day to feed, early to migrate water, can also twist a little egg yolk into the water, but pay attention to control the dosage.
