When the peacock fish fry was just born, many aquarists who had just started raising peacock fish expressed a headache! Although this topic is easy to solve for aquarists who have a certain level of fish farming, we still have many aquaclists who do not know how to take care of peacock fish and small fish.
Therefore, we still need to talk to you about the rearing of this fry from time to time. However, I still recommend that aquarists who have the level of fish farming, and I think that friends who have a good level of raising small fry can look at it, and maybe there is a detail that can give some inspiration. After all, our fish farming circle is not very large, and it is still good for everyone to communicate more.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > the misunderstanding of raising peacock fry</h1>
The biggest misunderstanding of raising peacock fry is that everyone likes to use small containers to raise fish, put small fry in it, and think that there is a little room for activity, but this is not the case.
First of all, tell everyone why you need as much capacity space as possible to raise fry, because the water body is large enough, in addition to having enough space for fry to have, there is enough activity to make them grow faster, and the larger water body can also make the water quality more stable, and it is not easy to break out a large number of harmful bacteria in a short period of time.
If it is raised in a small water body, and the water quality cycle is not strong, coupled with the rapid growth of small fish and the production of body metabolites and food residues, it will make the nutrients in the water rise rapidly in a short period of time, resulting in the outbreak of bacteria, and soon let the small fry infected with bacteria. The most typical and common is the pintail, that is, the tail of the small fry is reduced to a needle. This situation should be encountered more, in fact, the root cause is caused by the above situation.

In fact, for small fry, once they get a needle tail, it basically means death, even if the treatment is good, the fish may recur later, because the resistance has declined. Therefore, the strongest means to deal with the "needle tail" is still prevention, and how to prevent it lies in starting from the root cause, in fact, it is still about the problem of space and water.
The preventive measures are actually very simple, that is, after about 3-5 days of the fry are born, when they have eaten steadily, they can find a way to move them into a larger space together with the original water. Such a large space can ensure the activity of small fish, but also better promote their growth, while a large enough body of water can also better ensure the stability of water quality, greatly reducing the possibility of bacterial outbreaks. As long as small peacock fry are raised in large water bodies, in fact, other diseases other than pintails can also be avoided to a large extent.

Presumably, in addition to the disease prevention of peacock fry, the most important thing about other matters should be food, what is good for fish fry to eat? Some say that they are incubated shrimp, some say that they can directly buy shelled shrimp on the Internet, and some say that they can eat feed, which one is good to eat?
In fact, which of the above can be, because the peacock fish belongs to the egg fetus raw fish, and the egg raw fish is not the same, the opening of the egg raw fish fry just came out is relatively poor, so it takes some very small food, even microorganisms to let them open their mouths to eat, and the advantage of the egg fetus raw fish is that the fry has grown in the mother's stomach for a while, so it is already a complete individual, but the size is relatively small, so it can be a good way to open the mouth to eat feed. However, the feed should be as small as possible, so that the mouth of the small fry can be eaten.
The above is the small details and precautions for the breeding of peacock fry, basically do this in place, small fry can grow smoothly, about 1 month or so can be raised very well. The most important thing is the large water body space, it is best to add some aquatic grass or something, so that the entire water ecosystem inside has diversity.
