The reproductive method and living habits of the fat-headed fish

The reproductive method of the fat-headed fish is one of the four major fishes. They cannot reproduce naturally in still water and can only reproduce in long-term flowing rivers. Natural reproduction occurs in places such as the Yangtze River.

Adult fish over four years old will go into estrus every April and May when the water temperature warms. They swim to the upper reaches of the river to mate and lay eggs. The fertilized eggs will swell when exposed to water, with a diameter of about 5 mm. Straight down, it will hatch into a fish in three or four days under the impact of the current, with a length of about 7 to 10 mm.

Life habits: Fathead fish grows in freshwater lakes, rivers, reservoirs, and ponds. It is mostly distributed in the middle and upper layers of freshwater areas. It is a warm-water fish. The suitable water temperature for growth is between 25 and 30 degrees, and it can adapt to a more fertile water environment. Young fish and immature individuals generally grow in lakes and ancillary water bodies along rivers, and their main food is zooplankton in the water bodies.
