The colorful body color and tail of the peacock fish are believed to have been deeply rooted in the hearts of many aquarium players, even those who have never kept tropical fish at all.
This kind of fish is defined as a medaka in the classification, very suitable for the general beginner breeding, in the process of breeding does not need to be a lot of trouble, you just need to set aside a small part of the leisure time, with the correct parenting common sense, I believe that the process will bring you immense fun.
How to choose the ideal breeding fish
Before you decide to breed and breed, choosing good fish will only allow you to achieve double the results in the process of breeding and breeding, eliminating the hassle and inconvenience caused by the middle of the way.
Generally, if a beginner wants to breed peacock fish, he does not need to study the fish system in detail, as long as he selects fish that are in good health and disease-free, it is possible to achieve the purpose of prolificity.
If you want to find some more advanced peacock fish, but do not know where to hand, it is recommended that you ask experts or reputable Liaomen store for you to distribute the pedigree fish species, if it is to breed as the premise, the most important thing to pay attention to is the identification of female peacock fish, but the choice of male peacock fish, but also can not be ignored.
The following examples of the identification points between females and males are for reference:
1. How to choose female fish: When choosing a female fish, we cannot judge the advantages and disadvantages of the male fish from the color of the appearance, and only experts can judge the advantages and disadvantages according to the spots, hue, tail fin, dorsal fin, and swimming habits.
But first, from about 6-10 females, weed out the fish with spots on the buttocks, dark colors, irregular postures, and diseases. In addition, if the fish's outer back bone is curved into a V-shape, or the body size is too short, it is not good.
Fertilization rates increase with three males with two females or two or three males with one female.
Selection of male fish: The best breeding fish should be selected before the best breeding fish should be selected.
For example, the semi-swallowtail peacock fish must choose the fish species with dark blue or pure black at the back of the body, if it is a mirror spot three-tailed peacock, it should choose a triangular angle sharp, the mirror spot pattern is average, the color is gorgeous, and it is the most ideal breeding parent.
In short, choosing a strong and colorful variety is the best choice.
Set and ecology
The water quality required for the growth of peacock fish is a weak hard water with a neutral phph of 7.1 or more, and if the water quality in your fish red shows the opposite state, it should be improved immediately to avoid death.
The bottom sand in the cylinder is more appropriate with silicon sand or shan paste sand, implanted with water weeds such as large crowns or small crowns, and it is believed that the constituent elements of the basic set have been written for a paragraph and will not waste too much time.
How to reproduce
Peacock fish can produce about 5-10 per time, and the fetal baby fish has the ability to reproduce after about two to four months of birth.
Juvenile fish are quite large if their body length exceeds 5 d.m. There are certain species of females that will devour juveniles while producing.
However, it is generally after giving birth that the juveniles begin to chase, and if there are other peacock fish near the production area, the juveniles are eaten when they bounce out of the female's reproductive holes or when they fall to the bottom.
In order to prevent juveniles from being eaten by females or other fish, the easiest way is to plant dense aquatic grass in the tank, when the juveniles are born, they can find a safe haven, and then isolate the adults into another tank, which can ensure the survival of the juveniles.
Another approach is to design a dedicated spawning sink and isolate it. We can add partitions on the left and right sides of the spawning tank to form a leaky top (facing down), leaving a gap in the middle where the juveniles can pass.
When the female gives birth to the juvenile, the juvenile will swim to the gap, forming a upper and lower isolation, and there is no need to worry about the juvenile being eaten by the female. Before placing the expected-born female into the spawning trough, it is necessary to catch the exact time, too early or too late.
When the female's buttocks and the triangle of her abdomen are blackened, the table is a fertilized individual, and you can put it in the water to give birth.
If there is no delivery after two or three days, you can return to the original tank to feed, and then put it into the spawning tank after 1 to 2 days. The growth cycle of juvenile fish averages about 20 days (and has nothing to do with spring, summer, autumn and winter).
Usually the female fish production time is more than morning, the juvenile fish can eat bait from birth, the bait is artificial bait (for juvenile fish) or live bait (such as silk earthworms, silkworms, seeds, etc., but it is more time-consuming and laborious, you need to go to the outdoor pool to find).
After about 10 days, silver red worms and water worms can be used, after three weeks, silver red worms or artificial feed can be like adult fish, and the next generation can be reproduced after 3 to 5 months.
※ Juvenile live bait can also be fed to young shrimp.
With the above knowledge, I believe that even people who do not know fish can start to breed their favorite peacock fish, and with each person's intuition and appreciation angle, coupled with the spirit of specialization, to cultivate more excellent varieties.
In addition to entertaining yourself, it can also bring you a sense of accomplishment. We sincerely hope that you will bring this joy to every fish lover, so that they can expand their hobbies of ecological fertility and work together for tropical fish.
Peacock fish species habits may be slightly different, but the process of breeding and breeding are similar, there will not be much difference, if the process of breeding bottlenecks, may wish to ask the more experienced breeding store to introduce the detailed explanation, and then through your personal integration, I believe that the process of raising fish is full of fun.
