What kind of food do kissing fish eat?

Kissing fish are also called kissing fish, kissing fish, peach blossom fish, kissing Douyu and so on. They are light red in color and are famous for "kissing" each other. Not only heterosexual fish, even same-sex fish, also have "kissing" motions. But "kissing" is not an expression of friendship, but a struggle. Let's take a look at what the kissing fish eat.

What kind of food do kissing fish eat?

Kissing fish have miscellaneous feeding habits, although they are large fish species, but they are generally not interested in large water fleas, but they often open their mouths for a long time to "drink" some small water fleas in order to be full, which is also a special feeding way for tropical fish. When raising fish, they also like to suck the moss on the walls of the box and aquatic plants with thick lips, so they often put a kissing fish in each box to do "scavengers".

What kind of bait do the kissing fish feed?

Kissing fish are mild-tempered, live in groups in various water layers, and can be mixed with other fish, and they are not picky at all. Bread worms, broken earthworms and artificial feed are OK. They can eat whatever their owners feed. They not only grow fast, but also have good resistance. They rarely get sick, and there are many children and grandchildren with loose leaves. Kissing fish do not have a fixed breeding season under artificial feeding conditions, and reproduction is relatively simple, it is better to feed in pairs and feed in large quantities in order to facilitate reproduction.

Breeding methods of kissing fish

The main results are as follows: 1. it is not easy to distinguish between male and female kissing fish, and the larvae can hardly distinguish between male and female. In adults, the male fin buttocks are wide and long, and the body appears slender. The female fish has narrow anal fins, a broad body and a slightly bulging abdomen. When the female is sexually mature, the abdomen is dilated because it is full of eggs, which is very obvious when viewed from the top of the fish tank.

2. Kissing fish are oviparous and fertilized in vitro, usually those with a body length of more than 20 cm are used as parent fish. The breeding was carried out in a large aquarium over 80 × 40 × 40 cm. The old water was used for 5 days, the water temperature was 25 ℃, the pH was 6.8 × 7.4, and the hardness was 911. A layer of floating aquatic grass was placed on the surface of the tank. The male fish keeps turning around the female fish, and when it reaches the appropriate position, it is wrapped in a "U" shape and squeezed around the female fish. The male fish ejaculates immediately after the female fish lays eggs. The female can lay 500 ~ 10 000 eggs at a time, with an average of 3000 eggs.

3. The eggs of kissing fish belong to floating eggs, which are oily floating on the surface of the water. Floating aquatic plants can prevent them from being swallowed by their parents. After laying eggs, the parent fish can be fished out and the eggs can be hatched artificially. The larvae can be hatched in 20 to 24 hours. After the larvae can swim in 2 to 3 days, they should be fed a large amount of ash water, otherwise they will starve to death. Feed the little red worm for 3 or 4 days after 3 days, and then feed the big worm. At 15-20 days, the fast-growing larvae should be divided into two or three boxes to ensure a higher survival rate. Sometimes a litter of fish can survive more than 9000 fish, reach sexual maturity in about a year, and live for up to 6-7 years.
