The scientific name of the hexagonal dinosaur is Axolotl (English name: Axolotl), also known as the axolotl. It is an aquatic amphibian and is a species endemic to Mexico. In its natural environment, it can only live in muddy waterways and lakes.
The breeding method of hexagonal dinosaurs is as follows:
1. Water environment
1. Water quality: muddy water and old acid water are not suitable for raising hexagonal dinosaurs. Dinosaurs like slightly alkaline water.
2. Water temperature: The suitable water temperature for Hexapod is 16~20℃, not lower than 3℃ and not higher than 30℃.
3. Hardness: Hexagonal dinosaurs like hard water, so do not put driftwood in the breeding tank. Sunken wood has the effect of softening water, and do not buy homemade driftwood in the store, as the water will turn yellow. .
4. Cleanliness: The Hexagonal Dinosaur breathes through its gills, and unclean water will kill it. Therefore, it is important to change the water frequently and install a filter.
5. Water level: The water level must be at least higher than that of the Hexapod. Unlike other salamanders, they are amphibians. They can only breathe in water, but they also need to breathe air every 5 minutes or so.
2. Breeding environment
1. Substrate: Do not use anything smaller than the mouth of a hexagonal dinosaur as the substrate. They are short-sighted and easy to eat by mistake.
2. Cave: A sheltered and spacious cave is a must. Hexagonal dinosaurs are timid by nature.
3. Water plants: Hexagonal dinosaurs need some water plants to cover and hide. In addition, hexagonal dinosaurs will also lay sperm and eggs on aquatic plants when they reproduce.
4. Space: A 20 cm long hexagonal dinosaur needs at least a 45x35x30 (length, width and height) cm fish tank. Multiple hexagonal dinosaurs cannot be squeezed into one fish tank.
5. Light: Hexagonal dinosaurs live in icy caves in Mexico. The light is extremely dim, so the eyes of hexagonal dinosaurs are severely degraded. If you raise them, you can give them a dim (not necessarily without any light) environment. .
3. Food
1. General classification: Hexagonal dinosaurs are carnivores and prefer to eat live food. They can also accept fish feed or dried worms;
2. Detailed classification: divided into water insects, fish feed, small fish, and shrimp;
3. Age classification: larvae - water fleas (i.e. cladocerans and clawfoots in the water), Water worms. Sub-adults - water earthworms, small river shrimps, wheatear fish, tadpoles, small pellet fish feed. Adults - water earthworms, small fish, small loaches, shrimps (heads need to be removed to prevent the forehead spines from scratching the esophagus of the hexagonal dinosaur), and high-quality fish feed.
4. Reproduction
1. Egg-laying period: Every year from late winter to early spring is the breeding period of the hexagonal dinosaur.
2. Number of eggs laid: 60~500 eggs.
3. Hatching probability: extremely high, about 85% can hatch.
4. Safe maturity period: Adults must be at least 11 months old before they can be safely bred.
5. Breeding needs:
①Temperature: at least kept below 23℃, the most suitable temperature is 12℃~18℃.
②Oviposition site: Dense aquatic grass. Hexagon needs to release sperm on the aquatic grass to lay eggs.
6. Reproduction method
①Natural method: Place it outside the window and let the sunlight shine into the water to change the temperature to mate the hexagonal dinosaurs.
②Polyculture method: Let two hexagons be raised separately for a certain period of time and they will mate after being mixed together.
③Photoperiod method: Artificial sunlight is carried out for several days to shorten the photoperiod of the hexagon.
7. Breeding color: Not necessarily only hexagons of the same color can mate.
8. Mating template: If red eyes and black eyes are paired, hundreds of eggs can be laid, of which 10 to 20 are red eyes, and the rest are the same as ordinary ones, with recessive gene offspring. , if you look closely, they are different from ordinary ones. They will have some less obvious features; the next generation will mate with red eyes.
