The breeding ability of the Chinese betta is very strong. To the limit, you can breed once a week or even every five to six days. However, in the actual breeding, it is recommended to control the frequency of reproduction once a month. And don't breed too many times a year, try not to exceed five times. Because too frequent breeding can lead to genetic deterioration, which can lead to problems in fish fry. It is meaningless to breed unhealthy fish fry, which can not be raised for viewing.
Generally speaking, the Chinese paradise fish that grows for 4 to 8 months and reaches a body length of more than 4 cm has the ability to reproduce. Individuals of a few varieties can reproduce after about three months of growth. However, in the actual breeding, it is not recommended to breed with individuals who are too young or too short in length. Because the sexual function of these fish is often not very mature. The best ones can reach an age of more than 6 months and a body length of more than 5 cm, and then use them as parent fish for reproduction.
Under natural conditions, the Chinese fighting fish can breed from the Qingming Festival to the time before the Winter Solstice. And in the spring and fall, they are more likely to breed. However, in artificial breeding, because environmental factors can be artificially adjusted, they can reproduce throughout the year.
