1, preparation: Let the rat fish breeding, first of all to do a good job of preparation. One of the most important aspects is the fish tank, which needs to be prepared specially. Another is the water temperature, it is best to adjust to about 26 degrees. They also need some shade for them, such as water plants and so on.
2. Selection of parent fish: The quality of parent fish is more important, otherwise the effect of reproduction will be very bad. Rat fish with high activity, healthy constitution and obvious species characteristics should be selected as parent fish. Then pay attention to the ratio between male and female, preferably 2:1 or 3:1, that is, the number of male fish needs to be more than female fish.
3. Insemination: Furthermore, it is a specific reproductive process, specifically called "T-type reproduction.". The parent fish is placed in the prepared tank and the male will chase the female. If the female accepts the male, the male will stretch out his reproductive organs, and the female will hold the semen in her mouth. Then the mother fish will find a suitable place to lay eggs, and spit out the semen, you can complete the process of insemination.
4. Hatching: After insemination, what needs to be done is to take out the inseminated fish eggs for reproduction. Also adjust the water temperature to 26 degrees. After about four days, they can reproduce successfully.
5. Feeding small fish: Newborn small fish can eat migratory water, as well as water fleas, etc. When you grow up, you can eat some shrimp, fish feed and other foods.
The rat fish can reproduce only after entering the stage of sexual maturity. It enters the sex mature age is quite big, generally speaking about 2 years only then may carry on the reproduction in the cultivation. Do not choose too young rat fish for reproduction, otherwise the effect of reproduction is not good.
