What is the solution to the dystocia of peacock fish?

Mother peacock fish before and during labor, sudden changes in the environment, stimulation by impact, shock, and so on, are likely to cause miscarriage, premature delivery, dystocia, poor physique of offspring, deformities, stillbirth, shrunken belly of mother fish after delivery, collapse until weak infection, or even death. The production time of female fish varies, some can be born in half an hour, and some can be put off for as long as several days. However, if it is difficult to give birth, it may cause the death of the female fish. So how to judge whether the fish is difficult to give birth?

The way to judge dystocia is to observe the cloaca of the female fish. If the tail or head of the small fish is there for more than half an hour, it may be difficult to give birth. The small fish is usually dead and stuck in the female cloaca, making it impossible for the female to give birth smoothly.

These are basically the reasons why peacock fish are difficult to give birth. Now let's take a look at how to induce labor artificially:

1. Put in the heating rod to slowly increase the water temperature, then remove the heating rod to cool it naturally, and repeat several times to achieve the effect.

2. Put the female fish into the brand-new water, after the relaxation of the water process can effectively promote the female fish production. This can also prevent the mother fish from getting sick and provide good environmental conditions for the upcoming small fish.

3. You can perform surgery on the peacock fish, cut open the belly of the peacock fish, and peel out the small peacock fish when they come out. You will find that they are wrapped in the egg membrane, and the small peacock fish can jump alive when they break the egg membrane. Of course, this is carried out as a last resort, in this case, the survival rate of the female fish is low.

In fact, the best way to deal with peacock fish dystocia is to do a good job of prevention after understanding the cause. During the period of waiting for delivery, you can increase the flow of water to help peacock fish exercise more, oxygen must be sufficient, feeding can be water fleas, harvest shrimp and red nematodes, nutrition to keep up with the physical fitness of female fish will rarely have the problem of dystocia.

In the process of breeding peacock fish, dystocia should also be more common. It is believed that many experienced players have encountered the phenomenon of peacock fish dying from dystocia. In fact, as long as the temperature, water quality, and tank separation of peacock fish reproduction are properly handled, the probability of dystocia will be greatly reduced.
