Rat fish is a common ornamental fish, and it is necessary to pay attention to their breeding process when breeding. Generally speaking, their age of sexual maturity is relatively late. After about two years of breeding, they will have the ability to reproduce. However, once they begin to reproduce, their reproductive ability is relatively strong. After a reproduction, they can continue to reproduce many times a year as long as they have a proper rest.
Under normal circumstances, they can reproduce once a month. Some rat fish, which reproduce faster and recuperate faster, will reproduce once every two to three weeks. Therefore, after a breeding process, rat fish need to provide them with a suitable environment for recovery, as well as adequate nutrition, so that they can recover quickly, and then the next breeding process can be carried out.
The breeding ability of the rat fish is very strong. They can reproduce in all seasons. As long as the surrounding environment is suitable, they can reproduce many times a year, basically once a month. However, if the environment is not carefully controlled, they may only breed when the weather is suitable, probably at the turn of spring and summer. There are many factors affecting their reproduction, the most important one is water temperature, only when the water temperature is suitable, they can reproduce, need to pay attention to regulation. Moreover, water quality and nutrition and other factors need to be controlled.
