Tiger fish is an oviparous fish. The pH of the breeding water is 6.4-7.4, the hardness is between 5-7, and the water temperature is controlled at 27°C. Some aquatic plants should be planted in the breeding tank and some paving should be done. With sterilized brown silk, you can first put the female fish in estrus into the breeding tank, and then add the male fish after they adapt to the new environment. It takes about 36 hours for the fertilized eggs to hatch into larvae. At this time, the larvae do not eat or swim. It will take about another 36 hours for the larvae to start foraging for food and swimming.

1. Reproduction method of tiger fish

1. Tiger fish is an oviparous fish and enters sexual maturity at the age of 6 months. The breeding of tiger fish is not difficult. The pH of the breeding water is required to be 6.4-7.4, the hardness is 5-7, and the water temperature is 27 degrees. Adding 1/2 distilled water to the breeding tank can stimulate the fish to come into estrus.

2. Some aquatic plants should be planted in the breeding tank and some sterilized brown silk should be spread to facilitate the attachment of eggs. You can first put the female fish in estrus into the breeding tank, and then add the male fish after they adapt to the new environment. Because the male fish pursues the female fish very fiercely, the male fish often comes into close contact with the female fish and swims rapidly in the water. During this process, ovulation and fertilization activities are completed. Each female fish can lay 200-500 eggs each time. After laying eggs, the brood fish should be fished out immediately and raised separately, because they have the habit of swallowing eggs and can reproduce many times a year.

3. The larvae hatch out of the fertilized eggs in about 36 hours. At this time, the larvae’s heads float upward on the tank wall and aquatic plants, neither eating nor swimming. After another 36 hours or so, the larvae begin to look for food. You can feed them with migratory water first, and then switch to small fish and insects after 1 week to enter the normal feeding stage.

2. Breeding of tiger fish

1. Tiger fish are lively and active, and have low requirements for water quality. They like to swim in the upper layers of the water and thrive at a water temperature of 22-26°C. Grows well under. The group-raised tiger fish swim in formation in the water tank, which is very spectacular.

2. Tiger fish has a docile personality and can be kept mixed, but it cannot be kept together with angel fish. Because it has a quirk, it likes to chase and bite the long pectoral spines of angelfish, making it restless and irritated, leading to neurasthenia. However, when there are many aquatic plants and sufficient food, tiger fish and angelfish are both small-breasted and raised in the same box. situations, chasing bites may be avoided.

3. Tiger fish eats a lot of food and is not selective about food. It likes to eat animal bait, such as fish worms, nematodes, etc.
