Neon fish

Home breeding:

Temperature: 20~24℃

PH value: 5~7

Bait: dry feed (feed flakes), live bait and aquatic plants

Length: 4cm

Aquarium length: 60cm< /p>

Explanation: Today's most popular species is also the most common species in aquarium culture

Lives in mid-water areas; requires darker substrate, dense aquatic plants, and sufficient swimming space. It likes to live in groups and needs at least ten fish. The female

Living habits:

Neon fish are docile and like to move in groups, and can be found with other small tropical fish

Polyculture, the optimal survival water temperature is 22~24℃, the optimal pH value is 6.4~6.8,

Omnivorous, mainly eating plankton, algae, small crustaceans, and aquatic insects

and larvae, etc. In order to maintain the gorgeous body color during artificial breeding, animal feeds such as red worms and water fleas should be fed frequently.

Reproductive development:

The traffic light fish enters sexual maturity at the age of 6 months, and the optimal breeding period is 8 to 10 months.

Cover the bottom of a 30 cm x 25 cm x 25 cm fish tank with hair grass. The water temperature is 5 to 26 degrees, and the water pH is 5.6 to 6.5. The regulator should be adjusted slowly to allow the broodstock to adapt (or use extremely soft water). Steam water, adjust pH, oxygenate and set aside). Put a pair of broodstock fish in in the evening. The female fish will usually hatch the larvae at dawn the next day, and the larvae will swim for food 4 to 5 days later. The female fish hatches 200 to 300 eggs at a time
