How do mandragons reproduce?

Mandarin fish is a small tropical ornamental fish, which can be raised in captivity, have miscellaneous eating habits, have a ferocious temperament, and can be mixed with other tropical fish with mild temperament and similar body shape. So, how does the mandarin breed?

First, how does the mandarin breed?

Mandarin fish reproduce by laying eggs. Several floating water grasses can be placed in the aquarium above 60X40X40cm. Sexually mature males will spit bubbles to build nests, and then chase the females to lay eggs. The males will spit the fertilized eggs into the bubble and hatch. The females will spit 500 to 1000 eggs at a time. After spawning, the females will be fished out, leaving the males to take care of the eggs. 2 days later, after the larvae are hatched, the males will be fished out.

Second, the morphological characteristics of mandarin fish.
