1, breeding time: red crucian carp breeding will be carried out at the right time, generally between March and April. Red crucian carp reproduction has certain requirements on water temperature, which needs to be stabilized at about 18 degrees, so that red crucian carp can reproduce smoothly.
2. Preparing tools: First of all, you need to prepare suitable tools. If you want to let them inseminate naturally, you can prepare a separate fish tank. If you want to carry out the process of artificial insemination, you need to prepare a relatively shallow basin.
3. Choose the parent fish: Then choose the appropriate red crucian carp as the parent fish. The size should be slightly larger, the gonad development should be better, and the appearance should be good-looking. Once selected, place them in the prepared container.
4. Insemination: At this time, artificial insemination can be performed. That is to say, gently press their abdomen with their hands, squeeze out the eggs and sperm, and let them combine. In this way, the fertilization rate is still relatively high, reaching 80%.
5. Incubation: After insemination, it is the process of incubation. Incubation requires higher water temperature, try to keep it at 18-25 degrees. Hatching usually takes about three days.
If you want red crucian carp to reproduce, you must wait until they reach a certain age and their gonads are mature. Generally speaking, red crucian carp cultured for one year or more will have the ability to reproduce and can reproduce in the breeding season. However, the timing of their entry into sexual maturity is not certain. Some red crucian carp enter the sexual maturity stage earlier, but it is better not to use too young red crucian carp as parent fish, otherwise the effect of reproduction will not be too good, hatching is more difficult.
