Mini parrot fish can usually grow once every ten days. In a month, mini parrot fish can grow 2-3 times.
Mini parrot fish enter the growth stage after reaching adulthood. They usually pair up on their own and find a suitable area as a growth area (such as bream tanks or rocks, etc.) to prepare for spawning and growth. At this time, if other fish in the tank are found to enter the territory, the paired fish will violently drive away. The male fish will swallow the growth tank and agree to the female fish joining. The female fish will lay eggs within a few days after laying the tube. The biggest charm of this fish is that The parent fish will wear the little fish.
Male fish have a strong sense of territory and will expel other parrot fish or other small fish that enter the territory; in order to give their offspring a safe/clean nest, the male fish will choose some flat and smooth places to rest. "Expelling" means continuously swaying the fins to expel dirty items. After the nest is cleaned up, the female fish will be attracted and induced to come and lay eggs. If the female fish is satisfied, she will use it as a nest to prepare to lay eggs. The male fish and the female fish that are ready to grow will be inseparable, clearing the birthplace together, and defending the territory together. At this time, the male fish and the female fish keep taking turns to clean up the situation and often swim together. After the opportunity is ripe, orange pregnancy spots appear on the belly of the female fish and the anus protrudes, which means that she is about to lay eggs. The female fish will lay the eggs neatly on the surface, and the male fish will fertilize the eggs at the same time. After spawning is completed, the male and female fish will take turns taking care of the eggs. On the one hand, they protect them from being eaten by other fish. On the other hand, the fins remove the surface of the eggs and also increase oxygen, allowing fresh water balance. Slowly sliding over each fertilized egg, it also allows each fertilized egg to maintain the best incubation temperature in a balanced manner.
It usually takes 4 to 7 days for the fertilized eggs to hatch into larvae. While the fish eggs hatch, they provide a safe environment for the broodstock. They may eat the eggs and small fish when frightened. 72 hours after hatching, the eggs will appear to have their tails lowered. When the hatched eggs turn black, unfertilized white eggs will appear. , the egg-protecting parent fish will eat the white eggs, and the young fish will usually be allowed to take off within 7 days. The parent fish will be responsible for protecting the young fish before taking off. Some small fish will be picked up by their parents when they roll out of the growth tank, until the young fish take off. You can keep them together with the parent fish, or you can throw the eggs and hatch them alone. The little fish took off 4. At dawn, the big fish took the fry out to look for food. At dusk, the big fish took the fry into the tank with its mouth. After taking off for 7 days, it did not return to the tank. It ate under the protection of the big fish. If the food was too big, the female fish would Chew the food into small pieces for the baby fish to eat. If the baby fish insists on swimming far away, the parent fish will take their babies back to the growth tank with their mouths. Mini parrot fish can grow about 2-3 times in the first month. Small fish generally grow about one centimeter a month. Naturally, there are also feeding conditions that meet the requirements of the small fish to reach about 2 centimeters in 40 days, depending on the individual feeding situation.
Notes on spawning and hatching:
1. Growth temperature: 26-28°C is recommended (it can be lowered by 1-2 degrees to help lay eggs);
2. Egg attachments: purple clay water sprites, sea bream growth tanks, small flower pots, plates, etc. Purple clay, pottery, glass, etc. are all suitable;
3. Incubation temperature: 26-28℃ (Constantly at one temperature, no temperature rise or fall is recommended.);
4. Opening feed: It is best to breed and hatch young shrimps. Powdered feed or twisting the feed into powder is acceptable; it is not recommended to use egg yolk water, which is not easy to control. Bad water can easily cause small fish to be unfit for sacrifice;
5. Lighting: Try not to turn on the lights during spawning, as they may easily be frightened, and do not have people swinging in front of the fish tank to provide a safe and peaceful environment for the mini parrots. Helps lay eggs;
6. Change water: During egg laying and cub raising, change a small amount of water every day. Basically, just vacuum out the infiltration and food residue. Do not change a large amount of water, it is very effective for eggs, if you can, don’t change it;
7. Separation time: if conditions permit, you can separate the mini tanks if they are successfully paired. If there are not so many separate tanks , the growth tank (with eggs) and the female fish must be completely separated within 36 hours after laying eggs at the latest. If it can be 100% determined, the male fish can be completely separated;
8. Find other unpaired fish in the tank Mini parrots often enter the territory of their paired fish. It is recommended to keep the parent fish separately and raise them alone. You can also move other mini parrots out to provide a safe environment for growth.
When mini parrots are growing, pay attention to matters that reflect each other.
