McSpike is a kind of ornamental fish, they are a kind of medium-sized fish, in the adult, the body size will generally be under 10cm, not too big. For home-bred whelks, they are generally smaller in size and are more affected by environmental factors. Mackerel are not allowed to breed until they reach the age of sexual maturity, which is not always certain.

A. How big can a whelk grow

1. The whelk is an ornamental fish, and it is also a medium-sized fish. After adulthood, the size of most of the McSpike is 10cm or less, not too big, more than 10cm McSpike fish is very small. For some wild whelks, because they mainly live in creeks and rivers, they may be larger in size, and even 20-30cm whelks may appear.

2, generally in the home breeding of the wheaten fish are generally smaller, and they are subject to environmental factors around the impact will be very big. If the environment is not suitable, or provide them with insufficient food, it may lead to their stunted development, making them smaller.

3. McFish can only reproduce once they reach sexual maturity. The age of their sexual maturity is not certain, usually breeding about 3-4 months can be reproduced, but some McFish also mature later. Always choose a slightly older McSpike for breeding so that the breeding will be more effective. If you choose to breed a whelk that has just reached sexual maturity, the quality of the offspring may be compromised.

Second, how to raise the McFish

1, aquariums and plants

(1) The McFish is more suitable for living in a pond, but you can also breed them in the aquarium.

(2) Before you put them into the tank, make sure the water is clean and the water temperature is right.

(3) You can plant some green plants in the water, such as algae, etc., and pay special attention to their density, the size of the McFish is not too small, so pay attention to the number of breeding, not too dense.

2, feeding

(1) Be sure to provide enough food to the McFish, so as to ensure their development.

(2) Every day to feed them, and need to feed 2 times a day, feed the food can choose animal feed, because it contains a very rich nutrition.

3, water change and disinfection

(1) In the breeding process, water change and disinfection are very important to ensure good water quality.

(2) Do not wait until the water is very dirty, but must be replaced regularly, disinfection also needs to be carried out regularly, if the fish appear some symptoms of disease to pay attention to disinfection.

4, light

(1) breeding McFish must be provided with light, light can not only improve their own resistance to disease, but also promote the green plants in the water to release oxygen.

(2) The time of light should not be too, and also be careful to avoid direct light.
