Breeding techniques of short-nosed six-makuma fish A method to successfully breed the next generation
The short-nosed six-nased fish, also known as the six-nased short-bodied perch, is an ornamental fish that lives in tropical and **zone waters. They are small in size and brightly colored, making them small fish commonly found in aquariums. However, the reproduction of the short-nosed six-machima fish remains a challenging problem for many breeders. This article will introduce you to the breeding techniques of short-nosed six-machi, so that you can successfully breed the next generation.
1. Preparation of the breeding environment of the short-nosed six-room fish.
1.Water quality: The short-nosed six-room fish has high water quality requirements, so it is necessary to ensure that the water quality is clean and odor-free before breeding. Equipment such as activated carbon filters, aeration pumps, etc., can be used to improve water quality. At the same time, part of the water should be replaced regularly to keep the water quality stable.
2.Water temperature: The suitable water temperature for the short-nosed six-room fish is 24-28°C. During the breeding period, try to keep the water temperature as stable as possible to avoid large fluctuations. A heater can be used to adjust the water temperature.
3.Shelter: During the breeding process, the short-nosed six-room fish will nest and lay eggs. In order for the male and female fish to carry out better breeding activities, some shelter can be placed in the corner of the aquarium, such as branches, stones, etc.
2. Selection and pairing of short-nosed six-room fish.
1.Breeding: Healthy, active, and well-growing short-nosed six-nasal fish are selected as seed fish. It is best to choose short-nosed six fish of the same species and the same age for breeding, which can improve the reproductive success.
2.Pairing: After the short-nosed six-machi enters the breeding season (usually spring), it is possible to judge whether it is suitable for breeding by observing its behavior. Females will show obvious states of excitement before mating, such as frequent jumping, chasing males, etc. At this point, males and females can be placed separately in an aquarium and allowed to mate freely. If the female is already pregnant, the fertilized egg can be separated from the male after it is observed so as not to affect the male's reproductive ability.
3. Spawning and hatching of short-nosed six-room fish.
1.Spawning: Short-nosed saviors spawn when nesting. The female will dig a small hole in objects such as aquatic weeds and stones, then put her eggs in the hole, and finally cover the hole with mud. During this process, the male will be on the side to protect the female and the eggs to ensure the safety of the eggs.
2.Hatching: The incubation period for short-nosed six-room fish is about 2-3 weeks. At this stage, the water temperature in the aquarium should be maintained at around 28°C to facilitate the hatching of the eggs. At the same time, it is necessary to avoid stirring the water surface frequently, so as not to damage the structure of the egg grain.
Fourth, the juvenile care of the short-nosed six-room fish.
1.Feeding: Juveniles of the short-nosed six-machien can be fed soon after birth. At the beginning, you can choose artificial feeds such as egg yolk powder and special short-nosed six-room fish milk powder, and as the juveniles grow, they can gradually transition to homemade food, such as shrimp puree, small dried fish, etc. Be careful not to overdo it when feeding, so as not to cause poor water quality or cause other problems.
2.Water quality management: During the development of juvenile fish, the water should be kept clean and odorless. Equipment such as activated carbon filters, aeration pumps, etc., can be used to improve water quality. At the same time, part of the water should be replaced regularly to keep the water quality stable.
3.Shelter: During the growth of juvenile fish, the number and size of shelter can be appropriately increased to provide more hiding space and prevent juveniles from being preyed upon by other fish.
By following the above four steps, you will be able to successfully breed the next generation of short-nosed Rokuken. In the actual operation process, it is necessary to pay attention to the behavior and physiological conditions of the short-nosed six-room fish, and adjust the breeding conditions in time to improve the reproductive success rate. At the same time, be patient and wait for the breeding process of the short-nosed Rokuma, as it is a process that takes time and careful care.
