How do you raise zebrafish? How to divide male and female? How long is its life?

Zebrafish is known as zebrafish because it swims in flocks like a herd of zebras running in the grasslands of Africa. It is often used in the monitoring of water quality and environment, and it is also a kind of fish that is easy to raise. So how on earth are zebrafish raised? How to divide male and female? How long is its life? Let's get to know each other today.

How do you raise zebrafish?

1. Oxygen

In fact, zebrafish culture has high requirements for the environment. Zebrafish's need for dissolved oxygen in water mainly depends on body size, activity and temperature, while zebrafish raw itself is very small, so their demand for oxygen is larger than other large fish, and the oxygen pump is generally open for a long time.

2. Water quality

Fish can grow healthily, and water quality is also the key. Ammonia excretion of freshwater fish is mainly secreted by epithelial cells of the gills, while feces contain a small amount of ammonia, and rotten plants in the water will also decompose to produce ammonia, which will damage the water quality. affect the health of the fish, so changing the water in zebrafish culture needs to be done frequently, in addition to changing the water to clean up the fish's feces and uneaten bait. So how to raise zebrafish? Water quality is a big key.

3. Feed

How do you raise zebrafish? The other key is feeding. In general, adult fish are fed twice a day. Zebrafish are generally not resistant to red nematodes and frozen red worms and are acceptable to most tropical fish, but may not be acceptable to small fish. You can choose to buy some tropical fish feed and grind it with a stick. So that small fish can be eaten. It's just slow growth. Generally, it can be fed once or twice a day. Eat it in five minutes with each feeding.

4. Disease prevention

Zebrafish has extremely strong vitality, generally less than diseases, which are generally caused by these conditions: diseases caused by live baits; diseases caused by lack of nutrition; diseases caused by deterioration of water quality. In general, these diseases will cause the gills, tails and scales of zebrafish to fall off and fester, which will eventually lead to the death of zebrafish, and the fish should be fished out in time in case of pathological changes, and the fish tank can be disinfected with appropriate concentration of potassium permanganate combined with sodium chlorate solution.

How does zebrafish divide male and female?

1. Look at the pectoral fins. The big ones are male fish.

2. Look at the color, the male fish with clear and bright markings

3. Looking at the figure, it is the male fish that is thinner and longer

Zebrafish of different colors can be mixed.

How long does zebrafish live?

The life span of zebrafish is not long, normally the life span of zebrafish is two to three years, mainly distributed in the streams of Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Myanmar and Nepal. It has been introduced into the United States, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, Molysses and other places.
