The correct method of swallowfish breeding is as follows:

First of all, raise the water well, during the process of raising the water should be adjusted to be weakly acidic, you can put in 1-2 pieces of olive leaves, prepare a 40-cm tank, and if you have the condition, you can match with the 60-cm tank, and put in the ceramic pieces inside the tank, or you can buy the small columns special for the breeding of swallowfish on the internet.

The females should be chosen with fat round bellies and healthy bodies, and it is best to let the fish pair up freely. You can keep 6-8 of them to facilitate them to pair up on their own, so that the breeding success rate will be higher. Usually when pairing, the swallowfish will lay their eggs on top of the ceramic pieces or special spawning small pillars prepared in advance. However, it is important to isolate the other fish at this time so that they don't steal the eggs.

The newborn baby fish will follow the big fish, and the opening feed can be fed to the hatched Toyon shrimp. You can skip feeding them for the first 2 days as there is some yolk to eat. Until the parent fish let them swim away on their own, there are about 1 centimeter big when they can survive independently. During this time, change the water appropriately, once every 3 days if feeding is frequent, one fifth at a time, and siphon the debris from the bottom of the tank.

Swallowfish habits

Swallowfish character is very gentle, and there is no special requirements for water quality, in the weak acidic water environment can be mixed with the vast majority of fish. The only one to watch out for is the tiger fish of the carp family. These mischievous and lively little fish often like to nibble on the anal and caudal fins of the swallowfish. Although not a fatal attack, try to avoid mixing Swallowfish with them in order to maintain their beautiful appearance.
