Culture methods of peacock fish

Because of its colorful body color, peacock fish is loved by many breeding experts and players, and it has become a veritable ornamental fish. Partners who know the market all know that peacock fish is a kind of fish that is not easy to raise, and has relatively high requirements for water quality and other environment. Let's take a look at the breeding methods of peacock fish.

The living habits of peacock fish

Peacock fish is a kind of tropical fish, so the requirements for water quality and temperature are not very high, and the adaptability of peacock fish is also very strong, generally, the water temperature is above 18 degrees Celsius, it is only said that this kind of fish does not like swimming very much. it is best to keep the temperature of new water and old water the same when changing water. Peacock fish are mild-natured and very small, so don't breed them together with others to avoid fights.

Breeding methods of peacock fish

The breeding ability of peacock fish is strong, but in order to maintain a certain breeding temperature, the most suitable water temperature is 24 ℃ and the hardness is about 8. The gonadal development and maturity of peacock fish is from April to May, and the fish yield is generally between 5 and 150 fish. Peacock fish can give birth to larvae once a month, and their lifespan is usually 2-3 years.

When breeding peacock fish, they should be placed in the waiting box for production, and some aquatic plants or moss can be placed at the bottom of the box to ensure that the fish larvae are hidden. In addition, peacock fish larvae should be fished out immediately after birth so as not to be swallowed.

Culture methods of peacock fish

1. Water temperature: the water temperature should generally be controlled between 18 degrees Celsius and 34 degrees Celsius. If it is less than 18 ℃, the peacock fish will drop the loss of appetite, lethargy and so on. And it is very easy to be infected with diseases such as water mold. As a fengshui fish, it's usually fine. But as a food fish, it depends on the situation.

2, PH value: the most suitable PH value for peacock fish is generally between PH6.5-PH7.5, which has a great influence on peacock fish. Maybe a little more or less PH will kill the guppy.

3. Hardness: for hardness, the requirement for peacock fish is generally about 10-15 degrees. Although experts say so, there are very different examples in real life, just like Germany and Japan, where the water quality is hard water and soft water. And peacock fish can survive in two places as well.

4. Nitrous acid concentration: nitrous acid concentration also has an effect on peacock fish, if its concentration is too high, it is still harmful to peacock fish.

5, feed: for peacock fish feed problems, there are three kinds of feed, flake feed, pellet feed, frozen feed, of course, there are also specially developed feed for it.

① artificial feed: at present, there are quite many kinds of artificial feed sold on the market, which are roughly divided into flake feed, pellet feed and frozen feed. These feeds are the easiest to obtain and the easiest to feed. In addition, there are feeds specially developed for anchovies, which should also be the staple food choice for most anchovies owners, and the nutrients are also quite complete.

② feeding live bait: the use of live bait has always been mixed, because the nutritional value of live bait is of course much better than that of artificially processed feed, but it is accompanied by safety problems, we must be careful, otherwise the sequelae will make you feel better than just feed!

6. Clear the tank and change the water

① whole tank cleaning: put the water into the feeding box, put all the peacock fish into the feeding box, remember to add the lid to prevent the peacock fish from jumping out, then stir the bottom sand, clean the filter tank, and pump all the water, then remove it from the cylinder, wash the bottom sand repeatedly, and invade the bubble cup, the bottom wave board, and the filter surface base with hot water. Then pour the hot water around the cylinder with 60 ℃, then install the equipment in the tank in turn, then inject into the feeding water, add nitrifying bacteria and water quality stabilizer, and adjust the water temperature to release the fish in about half an hour.

② bottom water replacement: wash the bottom sand with a siphon, brush the cylinder wall, pump the water out of about 2 to 3, then inject the water into the storage tank and add digestive bacteria, which is generally used when the number of cylinders is large.
