During the spawning period, the male fish always chases and bites the female fish's ass. At this time, it's almost time to spawn. This pair of fish should be put in a fish tank alone, and a little more aquatic plants should be put in the tank, so that the eggs can adhere to the aquatic plants, otherwise the eggs will sink to the bottom of the water and be eaten by the fish. After spawning, the female fish should not be mixed with any male fish for the time being, so that it can fully rest and recuperate to protect the female fish.
The breeding of multicolored lilies can refer to the breeding of Lanmanlong and Betta, both of which belong to the spawning fish with nesting nests. When the male fish and the betta have reproductive behavior, that is, the male fish begins to spit out large bubbles, which means that the male fish is ready to breed, and only one female fish holding eggs is needed. The multicolored lilies can reach sexual maturity in about half a year.
After sexual maturity, it is easy to distinguish between male and female fish. The male fish of multicolored Calligonum is obviously more colorful than the female fish, and it has blue and red, while the female fish does not. The rear edge of the dorsal fin of the male fish is long and sharp, and the rear edge of the dorsal fin of the female fish is blunt. The other fins are shorter than that of the male fish, and the body is thicker than that of the male fish, and the abdomen is obviously enlarged during the incubation period. The male fish is brightly colored and the female fish is colorless.
When breeding, the selected male parent fish is slightly larger than the female fish. When the male fish starts to spit out large bubbles, the female fish and the male fish can be put into the breeding tank together. After the two fish are put together, the male fish will swim beside the female fish, and it is normal for the two fish to fight a little. After meeting, the two fish will be entangled with each other soon. In this process, the female fish will discharge the eggs in the abdomen, while the male fish will fertilize the eggs quickly, and the female fish can produce dozens to hundreds. After the eggs are fertilized, they continue to sink to the bottom of the water. At this time, the male fish will continuously send the eggs at the bottom of the water to the cast bubbles, and drive away the female fish. This is why we will quickly fish out the female fish to prevent them from eating eggs, while the male fish will continue to take the responsibility of protecting the eggs until the small fish hatch. At this time, relying on its own yolk nutrition, the larvae of small individuals can eat the nauplii or smaller paramecium in a few days, and then they can eat the adults of the adult worms.
