According to experience, the traffic light fish can generally live for 2 to 3 years. In order to make them live longer, they need to ensure the right water temperature. During the maintenance period, the water temperature should be maintained at about 25 degrees. You need to feed twice a day, and you can feed special fish food at ordinary times. They need to add meat food such as water fleas or small earthworms twice a week to help them maintain their body gloss.
The traffic light fish will enter the sexual maturity period at six months, and can start breeding from August to October. When they breed, they need to adjust the water temperature to about 25 degrees. At this time, their requirements for water quality will also increase, and the PH value of water quality needs to be adjusted to between 5.6 and 6.5. When adjusting the PH value, we need to use the regulator slowly to let them have a process of adaptation. In addition to these, you need to prepare a clean fish tank to facilitate the release of fish eggs.
1. Environment: When the traffic light fish is propagating, it should be properly shaded. They are afraid of noise and need to keep the maintenance environment quiet at this time.
2. Feeding: Before they breed, they can be properly fed with some meat. For example, shrimp, mealworms, earthworms, red nematodes, water lice and so on.
