Today we will talk about what are the important things to pay attention to in the growth of kissing fish. Crossbow fish can grow many times a year and are not subject to seasonal restrictions. What needs to be paid attention to is feeding, growth conditions, etc. Let’s take a look at them all below.
Growing of crossbow fish, because crossbow fish are relatively large, you need to prepare a larger tank when preparing the growth tank, and you need to pay attention to some aspects of temperature and water quality. In addition, you also need to pay attention to how to raise crossbow fish during growth. It is recommended to use a growth tank of 80×40×40cm during the growth period of the kissing fish. The water temperature should be maintained between 25 and 27°C, the pH should be 6.8-7.4, and the hardness should be about 9-11. The best water in the growth tank is old water. Floating aquatic plants must be kept on the water surface to allow the fish eggs to rest after spawning, and to prevent the fish eggs from being accidentally swallowed by the parent fish.
It is not difficult for crossfish to grow, but it is difficult to separate the male from the female. There is no obvious difference between the crossfish when they are young. However, when the crossfish reaches the mature stage after 15 months, there is a certain difference in body shape at this time. In terms of body shape, the male crossfish has a slender body and a slightly smaller anal fin. The size of the female crossfish is larger than that of the male fish, and the anal fin is smaller. The time characteristics of the crossfish's growth will be more obvious. The male crossbow fish will show matrimonial color during its growth period, and its body color will change from flesh red to purple. It is shiny and shiny, and the abdomen of the female crossbow fish swells significantly when she is pregnant with eggs.
When the crossfish grows, the male fish keeps circling the female fish. When it reaches a suitable position, it wraps itself around the female fish in a "U" shape and squeezes it. After the female fish lays eggs, the male fish immediately ejaculates. After the growth is completed, the parent fish should be fished out and the eggs should be artificially hatched. However, it increases after spawning. Crossbow fish eggs hatch very quickly, and the larvae can hatch in about a day. After the larvae can swim in 2 to 3 days, they need to be fed a large amount of migratory water, otherwise they will starve to death. Feed the small red worms at 2-3 dawn and then feed the big worms for 3-4 days. At 15 to 20 days, the rapidly growing larvae should be divided into two or three boxes to raise in order to maintain a high survival rate.
