The parent fish should be isolated from the eggs after spawning. The lower limit of water temperature for reproduction is about 23 ℃. The water temperature for reproduction should be controlled between 26 ℃ and 28 ℃. The survival rate of hatching will obviously decrease when it is higher than 30 ℃. The fry will hatch within 24 hours to 72 hours after spawning. The time of hatching and the survival rate of hatching are affected by water temperature.

3. Feeding

Newly hatched fish fry float on the water, with a body length of about 2.5 mm. The small fish fry rely on absorbing the yolk of the yolk sac for nutrition, and begin to feed three days later. They can feed cooked egg yolk, or use unicellular algae, rotifers and other open bait. Make sure to feed enough food, six times a day.
