One, the breeding time of the kissing fish kissing fish 15 months old when the sexual maturity of the kissing fish, kissing fish in captivity under the conditions of the breeding season is not fixed, can be reproduced many times a year.
When you intend to breed small fish, you can put the parent fish into the breeding tank according to the ratio of 1:1 between male and female, and at the same time, mix in some distilled water to stimulate the parent fish to come into heat, and put a lot of food in order to facilitate breeding.
Second, the male and female identification of kissing fish kissing fish larvae almost impossible to identify male and female, adult general males fins hip wide and long, the body appears to be slender, female fins narrow, body wide and thick, the abdomen is slightly bulging, when the female is sexually mature, the abdomen due to the full of eggs and expanded, from the top of the tank looking down is very obvious.
The kissing fish is oviparous, in vitro fertilization, generally to use the body length of 20 cm or more as the parent fish.
