How to raise peacock fish with raw fish?

Peacock fish is a small omnivorous fish species, distributed in the lower reaches of rivers and lakes and ditches in some tropical areas. its wild habitat is diversified, its adaptability to the environment is very strong, and it can withstand dirty water. It is often introduced into countries all over the world as ornamental fish and can be mixed with mild small and medium-sized tropical fish. let's take a look at how to raise peacock fish.

How to raise peacock fish with raw fish?

1. After giving birth to small fish, peacock fish should raise adult fish and small fish separately, otherwise small fish may be eaten by big fish. Female fish need to strengthen nutrition in the process of feeding, it is best to feed some live food such as water fleas.

2. A stable water environment is very important for fish, so it is best to raise adult peacock fish and small peacock fish separately using water from the original fish tank.

3. Small fish can be fed with egg yolk water from the next day. Pay attention to the amount that cannot be fed too much. After 5 days, the fish can be dried and crushed into powder. After 5 days, they can be fed with water fleas filtered with close-eye gauze.

Note: the mother peacock fish should not rush to change the water after giving birth to the small fish. the new jellyfish may die because they can not adapt to it. You can raise it in raw water for a few days and try to change the water after the mother fish is in stable condition.

The precursor of peacock fish giving birth to small fish

The main results are as follows: 1. The mother fish itself has fetal plaques, which are very small and cannot be seen carefully when conceived, but as the birth date of the female fish approaches, the fetal plaques are large and dark.

2. The female fish swims irregularly in the water, because the expansion of the volume affects the swimming of the peacock fish, and the female fish will find a hidden place to hide, mainly for the safety of production.

3, the female fish does not eat feed loss of appetite, the appearance color is brighter than usual, in the upper line of the fish tank swimming tail close to the bottom of the tank, there is the growth of a young fish in the belly, the belly of the female fish becomes heavier.

4. The belly of the female fish is nearly square, so the larvae are regularly arranged in a square shape, and the anus is protruding. At the same time, she likes to be alone two days before giving birth, and will chase and bite the fish that are close to it.

Feeding methods of Little Peacock Fish

1. Small peacock fish should be packed in smaller containers, which are too big for small fish to eat. You can feed small fish with chopped water earthworms or chopped egg yolk. Although egg yolk is more ideal, it will pollute the water quality, so it is recommended to feed less.

2. The little peacock fish does not have to change the water, and it is easy to pin the tail if the water is not changed well. Just change the water once a week, do not change the water too often, if you use tap water, expose the water for three days, and sprinkle some salt each time to prevent disease.

3. the water temperature of the little peacock fish should be constant and should not change all the time, because the small fish is very weak, and the temperature difference in water temperature is more than 2 degrees Celsius when changing water. It is recommended to buy a heating rod and set the water temperature to between 24 degrees and 26 degrees.

4. the young peacock fish should be fed separately when they can divide their males and females, otherwise the birth of the female fish too early is not conducive to the growth of the young female fish, and the tank will be closed for at least 2-3 months.

5. Inbreeding of small peacock fish will lead to degeneration and deformity, but it is not obvious in the first generation, but it is obvious in the second generation and the third generation.

What should I do about the dystocia of peacock fish?

1. Artificial induction of labor: put in a heating rod to slowly increase the water temperature, then remove it to cool it naturally, repeat several times, put the female fish in labor can effectively induce labor, but also prevent the mother fish from getting sick, and provide good environmental conditions for the upcoming small fish.

2. Caesarean section: the female fish that cannot be produced smoothly should be delivered by caesarean section. First of all, it is equipped with two shallow trays of water, a water bottle, two eyedroppers, a cutting front end, two pins, clips, scissors, alcohol and other tools.

① anaesthetizes the gills with alcohol, quickly kills the female, then cuts back a small opening in the heart and rips back the clip to reveal the ovaries. Put the ovaries into a shallow dish and wash open the ovarian membrane with an eyedropper. The more mature fish will automatically break the egg membrane and swim out under this pressure.

② but most can not break the egg membrane need to help, usually fish in the egg posture is like a comma-like head and tail almost connected, but there is a gap, a pin is inserted in that gap, the other needle is used to pick.

The needle ③ inserted in the gap pulled the fish out and sucked the fish into the clean water and it was done.
