When the peacock mother fish is about to give birth, all the small fish can see that the young ones don't like swimming and eating, and the reproductive hole behind it will be opened a few days before it is born. At this time, it needs to be isolated, so it is easy to catch up with the mother, and the reproductive hole will be born within 3 days after it is opened. Just observe it frequently, and the big one will lie on the bottom of the tank to keep the male fish away and hide in the water grass.

Extended data

Peacock fish is an ovoviviparous fish, which has strong reproductive ability and early sexual maturity. After 3-4 months' feeding, young fish can reach maturity and reproduce offspring. The late or early sexual maturity is closely related to the water temperature and feeding conditions.

When guppies breed, a larger aquarium should be selected, and the water temperature should be kept at 26℃. The pH is 6.8 ~ 7.4. At the same time, some aquatic plants should be planted, and then fish should be put in the ratio of 1 male with 4 females. After the fish is in estrus, the abdomen of the female fish gradually expands and black fetal spots appear; At this time, the male fish keeps chasing the female fish, and when the male fish's connector is inserted into the female fish's reproductive hole, the sperm is discharged for in-vivo fertilization. When the fetal spots of the female fish become large and black and the anus protrudes, they can be fished into another aquarium to give birth.

The temperature in the waiting box should be1~ 2 degrees higher than the original water temperature, and moss or aquatic plants should be placed at the bottom of the box to provide a shelter for small fish.
