Chinese fighting fish, I believe everyone is very familiar, is the pet of many people when they were young. However, the Chinese fighting fish is only a general term, they have a wide variety of species, such as black fork, general fork, round tail bucket fish, etc., with the rapid development of improved technology, there are also snake striped fighting fish, Aohuo bucket fish, blue fork, albino general fork and so on. More and more colors, longer and longer drawing, better and better ornamental, people's requirements for them are getting higher and higher, and now the improved Chinese fighting fish is not inferior to the Thai fighting fish. However, the breeding of fighting fish is also a relatively large problem, many novices in the breeding of fighting fish flowers, often dead and injured, so today, we will explain how the fighting fish should be bred, how to bring seedlings.
How to divide male and female fighting fish is also a technical work, so today I will tell you, first of all, male fish fins are wide and long, slender, more colorful, no navel on the stomach. The female fish has short fins, darker body color, rounder body, obvious navel on the stomach, and a more convex stomach. If you look at the mother fish's belly with a flashlight, you can see the long ovary, while if you look at the male fish with a flashlight, you can't see the ovary. This is the easiest way.
Male fish
The breeding of fighting fish is also very important, good fighting fish born of the fry good physique, easy to survive, generally choose bright color, young male and female fish pairing, then the male fish choose to draw long, no trauma, strong body. The female fish chooses to be harmless and physically strong. In the process of pairing, there will often be a male fish will be the female fish injured, or even bitten to death, generally we have to put the male fish ready to be paired into the breeding box, wait for it to be in heat, create a bubble nest, the egg-holding female fish in a water bottle, put into the breeding box, let the male fish familiar, when the male fish will not make a threatening action to the female fish, you can put the female fish into the tank. Soon, the female will mate with the male and spawn.
Female fish
When the mother fish lays the eggs in the bubble nest, the mother fish can be fished out, otherwise the male fish will turn over and bite the mother fish to death. After the female fish is caught, the male fish will diligently raise small fish, in the foam nest, the small fish will generally break out of the shell in 24-72 hours, the specific time is related to the temperature. At that time, the male fish will take back the small fish that fell out of the foam nest, and when the male fish brings the fry, it must not be fed, otherwise the male fish will have a great appetite and eat the fry.
After about 3 days, the small fish will swim flat, and about 3 days after the small fish swim flat, the male fish can be fished out and add aquatic grass in the breeding tank for the small fish to avoid. At this time, you can start to feed small fish, small fish feed is a big problem, if there is no feed suitable for the appetite of small fish, small fish is difficult to open, but if the small fish will not open, it will all die in a few days, and the small fry of the fighting fish is so young, the so-called fish feed grinding into powder is impossible for them to eat.
Therefore, fine feed such as shrimp, grasshoppers, egg yolks and other fine eggs are needed to open the mouth. I have done an experiment, adding a little egg yolk to the water, after two or three days it will spoil the water, and the same is true for the shrimp of the fine eggs, so in order to ensure the health of the fry, the grasshopper is the most suitable, it is both an aquatic animal and resistant, but the nutritional value is not particularly high. If you have to use egg yolks and shrimp, you must clear out the uneaten residue in time, otherwise it will affect the water quality and the fry will not survive.
