Hello aquarists, I am a fish farmer, and everyone can easily raise water, loose and loose fish, please pay attention to aquarists!
Whether it is artificially hatched alone, or broodstock care for small fish, one thing must be noted, that is, as long as there are other species of ornamental fish in the original tank, even if there are a large number of the same species, even the best broodstock may not be able to see the small fish, except for some mouth hatchers.
This is ironclad, let's stop doing useless work.
Except for ovary fish such as peacock fish, which can directly produce small fish, most other tropical fish are oviparous and need to have a process of caring for and hatching fish eggs.
Which tropical ornamental fish have a strong ability to care for fish eggs and hardly need to be managed artificially?
In addition to some of the mouth-hatching ornamental fish of the Three Lakes cichlid family, most of the other cichlid ornamental fish need to be cared for by broodstock.
Among these ornamental fish, there are several broodstock, and the ability to protect small fish is very strong, that is to say, as long as we isolate the broodstock to breed, other things can be almost ignored, and after the small fish take off, pay attention to feeding.
These ornamental fish include:
Thunder Arowana, Red-tailed Crown, Mini ParrotFish, Red-bellied PhoenixFish, Ruby, Golden Wave.
Map fish, as well as colorful angelfish, swallow fish, etc., and so on.
It also includes some other medium-sized cichlid ornamental fish that are similar to the Luohan fish, what a fierce fish such as the fire-mouthed fish, the Texas leopard, the flower tiger, and of course, there will be a variety of South American short seabream and bearded species, some species that need to be bred in the tank.
Which tropical ornamental fish have no juvenile protection at all, and eat them after spawning?
So, which tropical fish don't have juvenile protection at all?
This type of species is generally found in small ornamental fish, such as most of the lamp fish, traffic lights, Pauline lights, zebrafish and the like, as well as including tiger skin fish, rose flags, black dresses, red crosses, diamond rainbow crucian carp and so on.
The breeding of these small ornamental fish needs to lay aquatic grass or pebbles, so that the eggs have a shelter, and the broodstock need to be fished out immediately after laying eggs, allowing the eggs to hatch on their own, otherwise they will turn around and eat.
Most of the female fish of the fighting fish also eat after laying eggs, including blue manlongs, pearl vests and the like, they are males responsible for guarding the eggs, after spawning, the females need to be fished out immediately.
Whether or not the broodstock are needed to care for the hatching depends on the decision of the fish owner
Some ornamental fish should obviously be very protective of their juveniles, but there will also be the phenomenon of eating small fish or not caring for fish eggs at all.
For example, swallow fish, golden pineapple, colorful angelfish, and even mini parrot fish will also have, bearded fish will also kick eggs, and colorful angelfish is a special case, small fish need to suckle, I have a separate introduction in other articles.
Then, when the broodstock do not take care of the small fish, it depends on our own practice and observation.
Some aquarists are more anxious, the first few litters of problems are impatient, some broodstock may be immature males or have not learned how to care for small fish, as well as environmental and water quality is unstable, which requires our own observation and give them a certain amount of learning time.
There are also some aquarists who want to breed in large quantities, for the purpose of making a profit, so that the fish eggs can be raised separately.
These operations are not as advanced as we think, the key problem is not to ask everywhere, but to practice in person, and the more practice, the more you will naturally understand.
Practice many times, practice repeatedly, even if you are not successful, you can't sacrifice yourself to become a benevolent person, right? So, what's so scary?
Nothing more than pay attention to water quality, moderate oxygen, water temperature is appropriate, remove white eggs, prevent mildew, this time no, we continue to nest, and then wait for the small fish to come out, feed the most palatable bait.
I am a veteran of fish farming, more ornamental fish problems please pay attention, thank you!
