Hi Everyone! I'm Yugo
When it comes to breeding tropical fish, it is recognized that the peacock fish, bucket fish, lamp fish, and medaka fish are more capable of bursting. Today, I will use the bucket fish as a sample to study with you how the olive kernel leaves play a helping role in the process of breeding the bucket fish!
Big-eared fighting fish
To breed fish, you must first make the broodstock in heat, in addition to the water temperature, in fact, it is also related to the stimulation of chemical components in the water, which are the effect of stimulating the nerves of the fish brain. Why does the Amazon and Southeast Asia have a fixed time period for the reproduction of fish? In fact, it has a certain relationship with the fallen leaves of the surrounding trees, and the leaves soak in the water release one or more substances that can make the fish estrus, thereby stimulating the reproduction of fish. This substance also exists in the leaves of olive kernels, which is "folic acid".
Half Moon Fighting Fish
That's right! Pregnant ladies are one of the trace elements to supplement. A member of the B vitamin family can theoretically increase the mating desire of fighting fish and stimulate the development of fish fry. If the lack of folic acid supplementation in the fighting fish, it will cause reproduction difficulties, the male fish do not actively spit bubbles, and the female fish eggs can not mature for a long time, and the number and quality of fish eggs are not good.
Secondly, after hatching, small fish also need to supplement folic acid components through water, folic acid is involved in protein synthesis, which promotes the synthesis of normal red blood cells, lack of folic acid, and the synthesis of red blood cells is hindered, resulting in megaglobinemia and cytopenia. Nursery growth becomes sluggish, and fish ponds in all Southeast Asian countries that breed fighting fish basically rely on olive kernel leaves to increase production.
Symptoms of folate deficiency in fish: inactivity, loss of appetite, decreased feeding intake, slow growth, darkening of body color, anemia, pale gills, and fragile caudal fins.
In fact, many leaves have folic acid components, why choose olive kernel leaves? In fact, in addition to the high content of folic acid components in olive kernel leaves, there is also a component called "tannic acid" that plays a very important role in stabilizing water quality, so let's share it together in the next issue.
