Zebrafish and peacockfish can be safely mixed because they differ in their water layer distribution. Peacockfish belongs to the upper layer and swims slower, while zebrafish is a middle layer and swims fast, both are similar in size and can live in harmony***. Peacock fish has a mild character, suitable for mixing with mild small and medium-sized tropical fish, adaptable, even in a simple aquarium environment can live well. Zebrafish, on the other hand, has a mild temperament, likes to swim in groups, does not require high feeding conditions, the appropriate water temperature range is 20 to 23 ℃, and has a strong adaptability to water quality.
Reproduction, zebrafish is oviparous fish, generally in 4 months of age sexual maturity, breeding needs to maintain the water quality pH 6.5 ~ 7.5, hardness 6 ~ 8, water temperature 25 ~ 26 ℃. They prefer to lay eggs at the bottom of the tank, but the parent fish will feed on their own eggs, so breeding requires protection at the bottom of the breeding tank. The breeding process takes place about once every 7 days, and they can be bred 6 to 7 times a year. They have a large spawning capacity, making them ideal for beginners.
Overall, as long as proper consideration is given to their habits and living environment, mixing zebrafish and peacockfish is fine and can bring diversity and vitality to the tank.
