The breeding of the butterfly carp will be within the appropriate breeding season. Generally speaking, the breeding of butterfly carp will be in the period of 4-6 months, because the water temperature and other conditions are more appropriate at this time. However, this is only in general, if other time conditions are appropriate, then butterfly carp can also be bred.
The main factor affecting their breeding time is the water temperature. If the water temperature is too low, they will not be able to breed. During their breeding process, the water temperature should not be lower than 20 degrees. In addition, water quality, oxygen and other factors also need to be paid attention to, need to prepare oxygen pump and heating rod and other tools at the same time when preparing tools for use.
Butterfly carp reproduction needs to be after they enter the age of sexual maturity before they can reproduce. Specifically, butterfly carp is a relatively long-lived fish, and their sexual maturity is relatively late. Generally speaking, butterfly carp cultured for two or three years will have the ability to reproduce. However, specifically, the age of sexual maturity of male and female is not certain, the age of sexual maturity of male fish is relatively early, and the age of female fish is relatively late. However, in the process of reproduction, try not to choose too young butterfly carp as the parent fish of reproduction, otherwise it may affect the quality of future generations of butterfly carp. It is better not to use the butterfly carp which has just entered the breeding period, and try to choose the butterfly carp above three years as the parent fish.
