This morning, my viviparous fish began to give birth to small fish. In the photo, the peacock fish and red ball fish in the red frame have been put into the breeding net and are giving birth to small fish. The small fish in the breeding net are born by them. The mother fish has not been born yet and is in the process of production.
Today, I'd like to share how to judge whether the mother fish is about to give birth to a baby fish and how to raise the newborn fish?
The peacock fish's head and tail are red. The fish seller told me that the fish is also called "good luck"
How to judge whether a mother fish is going to give birth to a baby fish?
First, the lower abdomen of the female fish is swollen with obvious fetal spots. The mother fish always hides and doesn't want to move. The anus of the female fish has protruded, indicating that it is about to give birth.
Second, other fish keep chasing it, which also shows that it is about to give birth or is giving birth. Because other fish find that a mother fish gives birth to a small fish, they will follow the mother fish to eat the newly born small fish.
Once the mother fish is found to have small fish, immediately fish the mother fish into the breeding net. Put the born small fish into the small fish culture net. Avoid the mother fish eating the small fish.
How to feed newborn fish?
In the first two days of life, there is no need to feed, and the yolk sac provides nutrition. The yolk sac was absorbed before feeding.
Two days later, food can be fed. You can feed live harvest shrimp. If there is no live shrimp, you can also feed frozen shrimp; You can also feed dry red insect powder; You can also feed cooked egg yolks. My home is to feed cooked egg yolk and dry red insect powder, which is more convenient.
When feeding small fish, remember to feed a small amount, otherwise it will affect the water quality.
