How do traffic lights breed?

Traffic light fish, also known as red and green carp, is a common indoor freshwater ornamental fish. It is deeply loved by fish friends because of its easy breeding and good appearance. How do traffic lights breed?

First, how do traffic lights breed?

When the female traffic light fish grows to the age of 8-10 months, the abdomen will dilate, at this time can be separated from the male fish for a few days, and feed enough food. Then paired into the breeding tank, the water temperature is controlled at 25 degrees, the water quality ph is 5.6-6.8, and the hardness is 1-3.5 °. Cover the breeding tank and keep quiet to breed. Generally, a female fish can lay about 150 eggs, and the parent fish will be fished out after spawning, and the fry can be hatched in 24 hours.

Second, how to raise traffic light fish?

1. Culture environment: traffic light fish mainly live in the black and clear waters of the Solimonis River in South America. Its habitat is a typical tropical rain forest climate. It is hot and rainy all the year round, the temperature is between 20: 26 ℃, the pH value is between 5.0 and 7.0 (slightly acidic), and the GH value is between 1: 2. It is best to raise the fish in soft water, but after many generations of breeding, it can also accept the hardness of tap water.

2. Male and female identification: the main methods to identify the male and female of traffic light fish are that the male is slender than the female, the anal fin is sharp and the color is darker. During the reproductive period, the female fish is plump, the anal fin is fan-shaped and the body color is lighter.

3, feeding and management: the traffic light roe is small, the swimming amount is small, and the bait can only be eaten at the mouth. After the opening bait, the egg yolk water was sifted with 200 mesh nets and fed with straws one by one. After a period of time, when the larvae swam normally, they were fed with egg yolk ash water screened by 150 mesh nets. The larvae grow slowly and take longer to eat egg yolk ash water than other small species. In addition, the hatching water quality of larvae is very soft, and the water temperature is completely different from that of daily feeding. When the larvae grow to 5mm, they should be moved into a large tank and raised in a large tank, paying attention to the process of adapting to the water quality.
