How to raise baby peacock fish?
If the mother gives birth to fewer babies, she should take them out as soon as possible. If it is troublesome to give them too many babies, let the big fish eat the weak ones and leave the strong ones. But don't let big fish eat too much. After taking it out, use the water in the original tank to raise it in a container with appropriate size. Don't feed or change the water on the first day, so that the small fish can absorb the yolk and stabilize.
The next day, you can feed some shrimp and tiny water worms appropriately. Pay attention to put it several times, and putting it too much at a time will easily lead to waste. This is not to say that they can't finish eating, but that they just sucked this into their mouths and saw that with their eyes, so they spit out what was in their mouths and went to eat another one. Putting less at a time is likely to cause small fish to compete for food, which invisibly strengthens exercise and grows faster. Moreover, small fish are easier to die than big fish, and the amount of feeding should be controlled.
If there is no live food, it can be frozen, but be careful not to be too cold to avoid irritating small fish. I don't have many shrimp eggs, and I can't hatch enough for them to eat at one time, so I often grind the bait for big fish into powder and feed them, and they like it very much. Pay attention to the fact that it is enough to see a little bulge in the stomach of the small fish when feeding artificial bait. The artificial bait will absorb water, and it is easy to die if it is fed too much.
The temperature should not exceed 27 degrees, and try to keep the water temperature constant. If the temperature is too low, you will get white spot disease. Last time the white spot disease broke out in my fish tank, several small fish died, and it didn't improve until the temperature was raised. Be sure to change the water frequently, carefully absorb the dirt on the bottom with a very thin and soft leather tube for about a week, and then add some new water that has been dried in the sun.
How to raise peacock fish seedlings
1, management of adult fish
Feed it 2-3 times a day, and each time you finish eating at 1 minute, the time should be fixed. Try to replace some water after the last feeding at night, and the time should be controlled at 20 minutes after feeding. Fresh water should be of the same quality, the temperature should be consistent as far as possible (the temperature difference should not be greater than 6 degrees), and water should be added slowly.
Feeding time reference: 7: 00,12: 00,17: 00, 21:00.
2. Management of small fry
Newborn fry eat very little, so it is recommended to feed the first meal after 24 hours (depending on the condition of the fry, if the yolk sac is not fully absorbed at birth, it can be fed after 48 hours), and it is best to feed the hatched shrimp in a small amount, so that each fish can eat a little. Try not to change water within 5 days. After 5 days, depending on the water quality, it is best to control the temperature at 26 degrees. The higher the temperature, the faster the metabolism and the faster the growth. Feed well every meal, not less than 3 meals a day.
3. About changing water.
The purpose of changing water is to improve the water quality in time. The greater the density of fish, the greater the necessity of changing water, and the corresponding increase in the amount of water changed. At most, 90% of water can be changed, preferably after feeding at night. The purpose of changing water at night is to have 10 hours from night to morning, which is enough time for them to adapt to the stimulation of new water. Just after changing water, the fish's appetite is very strong, and it is easy to cause.
4. Density of fish
In the water body of 25x20x20, the maximum number of fry can be 60 within one month, and the number of fish for two months should be appropriately kept less, with a reference number of 30; The number of fish over 4 months old will be halved again.
5, the choice of fish
Female fish: short body, thick waist, full tail and good complementary color; The shape of dorsal fin has different requirements according to different varieties, and the best angle between the front and the body is greater than 90 degrees (except the extended back).
Male fish: the body proportion is moderate, the included angle of caudal fin is greater than 90 degrees, and the greater the degree, the better; The bigger the dorsal fin, the better, and the angle between the high and the back should be greater than 90 degrees as far as possible. Colorful, according to different varieties, its strain characteristics should be obvious (such as fine grain symmetry, thick waist, no deformity, etc.).
6, under the condition of sufficient bait.
Small fish can distinguish male from female in 2 1 day, and the male will fertilize the female one month after the small fish is basically full. If the seed is reserved, it is best to separate the male from the female in time within one month to prevent the male from fertilization. Choose the best quality male fish to fertilize the female fish and breed the next generation (the best at 3 months). Don't cross different strains blindly, it will produce many inferior products and waste manpower, material resources and time.
7. Bait
Dry feed can be used for both fish and insects, and it is best to feed fish and insects for planting fish and fry, so that the next generation of reproduction has good physique and low deformity rate; At the same time, it is a good choice to pay attention to anti-bacteria, freeze feeding fish and insects and feeding bait regularly.
8, water treatment
There is chlorine in tap water, and it is safest to aerate cold water for 4 days and 6 days; Conditions do not allow you to put a little sodium thiosulfate in tap water, and 10 liter of water is the size of a big rice grain (depending on the chlorine content in the water, it needs further verification).
9, the method of inverted cylinder
Separate tanks or newly bought fish, it is best to put them in fresh water and stop eating for 2-3 days. Antibiotics such as100000 units of gentamicin injection can prevent common bacterial infections and prevent fish from getting sick. Pay attention to the slow operation when fishing. After three days' observation, if you see the unhealthy performance of the fish, such as active food-seeking, bright body color and no white stool, you can feed a small amount, 50% full, and feed the second meal after six hours, and gradually increase the feeding amount.
10, the method of female fish production
Put the female fish to be born in fresh water, feed them normally, and change the water once every 2-3 days. Generally, four fifths of the water is changed to stimulate metabolism and promote production. When production is found, don't change the water. When production is finished, you can feed a small amount of frozen blood worms during production to prevent the female fish from eat small fish. After production, take out the big fish. (At this time, the fish is very weak, so it is best to take water for fishing. Then put a gentamicin injection or a little potassium permanganate in the small fish tank to prevent needle tail disease. You don't need to change the water for 5 days, and then you can change the water by one-third to one-quarter every time for 2-3 days (the pumped pipe must be soaked in high-concentration potassium permanganate for a few minutes). According to this method, the small fish are basically alive.

Introduction of peacock fish
Peacock Cephalotaxus, commonly known as guppies, also known as anchovies, rainbow Cephalotaxus, rainbow Cephalotaxus, guppies, etc., is a tropical fish belonging to the genus Cephalotaxus in Cephalotaxus family. The size and color of male and female fish are quite different. The adult male fish is thin, 3-4 cm long, colorful and beautiful. Adult females are about 5 cm long, and their tail stalks and fins account for more than 1/3 of the whole body, and each fin is shorter than that of males. It is much inferior to the male fish.
Peacock flower catfish is a small omnivorous fish. Their adaptability to the environment is very strong, distributed in the lower reaches of rivers, lakes and ditches in some tropical areas, and their wild habitats are diversified, mainly in freshwater basins and lakes and marshes. Can tolerate dirty water, with clustering. Widely distributed. Originated in Venezuela, Guyana, West Indies, northern Brazil and other places in South America, the peacock flower catfish was introduced to all countries in the world as an ornamental fish. Mild temperament, can be mixed with mild small and medium-sized tropical fish, usually lively and active, and has a short life.
Under the artificial cultivation, many strains have been produced, the most representative of which are dress, grass tail, metal, snake king, lace, Yinhe, Medusa and so on.
life habit
Peacock fish has a mild temperament, can be mixed with mild small and medium-sized tropical fish, is usually lively and active, and has a short life. Peacock fish is an omnivorous small fish with strong adaptability to the environment. Peacock fish is very adaptable and lives well in an aquarium without temperature regulation and inflation equipment. It can tolerate low temperature of 16℃ and dirty water, the most suitable growth temperature is 22-24℃, and it likes slightly alkaline water. Water with hydrogen ion concentration of 39.8 1-63.09nmol/L and pH value of 7.2-7.4 can also adapt to neutral properties.
Eat zooplankton, small insects and debris. They mainly eat insects, including CERATOPOGONIDAE, Chironomid, Domestic Mosquito, Diptera, Homoptera and Hemiptera.
Feeding precautions:
The fish is very scared just after entering the tank, so it is best not to turn on the strong light such as the lighting of the fish tank, and don't disturb it. For example, you can't point and move too much when watching, and you must make full preparations before picking up the fish. Don't always run around the fish tank after entering the tank, and remember not to feed it that day! Don't change the water, and observe its state. Generally speaking, the fish will recover some on the first day, such as looking for food and chasing a spouse. If the state is not good, you can add 1% saturated saline. Observe for a few more days. Generally, within a week, if the fish are in good condition, looking for food and chasing their spouses, you can feed a little less live bait, which means just a little. Don't feed more! The best open bait is live food, such as bumper shrimp, etc. Artificial bait is not recommended because of digestive difficulties. You can change 1 1 0 water. The water in winter is12 degrees higher than the water temperature in the cylinder, and it is12 degrees lower in summer. This is also the way to control the temperature when changing water in a year. If the state is not good, don't feed, continue to observe. When floating head appears, whether the stocking density is excessive should be considered. Should be divided into cylinders in time. If there is no problem and it is in good condition, it is also better to feed less in the morning, and the bait that can't be eaten should be fished out in time, and the fish should eat within five minutes.
For bait, it mainly refers to the type of bait, the amount of feeding and the number of times of feeding every day, as well as the adjustment of the variety and feeding amount of bait with the growth of fish age.
The newly-born offspring of guppies are not fed on the same day, because first, they are adapted to the environment, and second, yolk sacs have not been absorbed yet. From the second day, it is best to open the mouth with live shrimp larvae, which are rich in nutrition and easy to absorb, and have the effect of promoting defecation. During this period, the larvae can eat as much as possible until their bellies are hemispherical, and at this time, a little live bait can be kept in the tank. The summary is "try to support within 4 weeks, feed hard in February, eat well in 3 or 4 months, and feed less after May". You can take time to feed it twice every morning and evening, especially after feeding in the morning, it is better to keep a little live bait in the fish tank.
