After Three Months, Peacock Cichlids Begin Mass Production; Why Didn't They Produce Before?

As a veteran fish farmer, I am Old Dao. For more ornamental fish breeding and practical knowledge, please pay attention to us and enjoy a relaxed and happy fish farming experience!

For this problem, I am also very puzzled. Today I looked at the records. These blue mandarin fairy peacock fish came in lastin mid-Novemberuntil today, they have been for three months. During this three months, I have only seen some female fish produce once when they first arrived, and then they haven't seen them produce more fish.

It is not that they didn't produce, but that I was constantly staring at the female fish with big bellies, and it didn't react at all, and their bellies didn't shrink. Recently, I didn't isolate them individually, just when I saw small fish in the Phyllanthus niruri, I took them out to catch them. I took out more than 100 fish in two or three days.

And the Golden Head Peacock is also because after arriving, there has been no movement so far, which is very strange.

Could it be that these blue mandarin fairy fish are already planning to breed with us?Why do many new fish friends always not breed when they buy ornamental fish such as mandarin fish, paradise fish, globe fish, moonfish, arrowhawk fish, etc.?

I think the stable water quality is the first consideration, no matter what ornamental fish breeding.

Regarding the breeding problem of the blue mandarin fairy peacock fish, I don't dare to say how long I haven't changed the water, because there are a lot ofPhyllanthus niruri, this is the reason for not changing the water.

When I first planted these water grass, I could change the water? Here I don’t have a unified pipeline, I use a bucket to add water to the fish tank, how to damage the Phyllanthus niruri?

Then the Phyllanthus niruri grows for two months, and it is just right for the small fish to take shelter. I can’t change the water, that’s impossible.

Besides, this fish tank doesn’t have a heater, and the water evaporation is small, so I don’t need to worry about it too much. Since the water quality is always good, why do I need to clean the filter cotton? So I’m very puzzled about when the water quality of this fish tank will be ruined. I’ll wait for this wave of production to finish, and it will probably be very fast.It's really time to change the water.

As long as the female fish produce quickly after arriving, it’s mostly because of the stimulation

of the journey and the new water stimulation.And the quality of the small fish may not be good, or the female fish may have difficulty giving birth, which may lead to a high mortality rate of the small fish.After that, they may have a long period of no production, so many new fish friends feel that when they buy these fish and they produce a batch, why don't they produce again.If we don’t buy female fish that are about to give birth, then after arriving, the time to produce may be indefinitely prolonged, which depends on our

feeding and care.

The environment must be stable first, no matter what ornamental fish breeding.Therefore, after thinking about it carefully, the only factor that determines why these blue mandarin fairy fish can be safely produced is four words:

stable environment. Most ornamental fish's success in breeding depends on whether the environment is stable or not.

Although we think these egg-bearing ornamental fish don't care about their young and even eat them, I have noticed that the female fish hides and produces in the water grass, and the male fish will occasionally come to steal food. The determination of the female fish’s production depends on themfeel safe.

So that the small fish can have a safe place to hide, they can safely produce.Just like my current fish tank environment,Phyllanthus niruri has grown into a small bamboo forest, and the female blue mandarin fairy peacock fish will line up to produce,

Recently, I have observed that many female fish with big bellies have disappeared, that is, most of them have produced small fish at this time.And many fish friends' breeding of the above egg-bearing ornamental fish is due to the fact that they don't produce, except for the nutrient supply and water quality issues, the remaining factor is the safety of the environment, that is, sometimes it's just afeeding density, water space and our messing around.

It’s the same reason that they don’t produce when they have a big belly, but don’t produce.Before, I experimented with the whole red mandarin fish. According to my previous experience, their bellies were fully developed, but when I isolated them, they didn’t produce for a long time. Old’s place, before the New Year, I went to see it, there was no movement, I don’t know how it will be after the New Year.

Many fish friends will encounter such embarrassment,

the more they don’t produce, the more anxious we are

first to catch them separately, isolate them for a few days without producing, then we catch them back, and after a few days they still don’t produce, then we continue to isolate them, messing around and around, maybe this new water stimulation is too much, they will produce, butthe small fish will have a large yolk sac, or have trouble with breathing, or have a lot of deformities.But the small fish I'm breeding now don't have a yolk sac, and they start swimming immediatelyusing

net to catch them.The small fish's body is good, and the female fish won’t have any diseases, so they can hide in the water grass to rest, and won’t have any difficult births or overproduction, we can see from the female fish’s belly, that is, after they produce, althoughtheir bellies shrink noticeably, but they will never have a severely sunken belly, or a slumped back, this is becausethe water volume is large, the environment is stable, add some water grass, it’s better to breed, if we want to make it so that we can finally harvest fish seedlings, we should look forcareful cultivation for a period of timethen find a larger container to isolate, use original tank water, we can

add some water grass to help the female fish relax and stabilize their mood

if they still don’t produce after a long time, when the yolk sac is very large, we can keep them in the isolated tank, change the water when necessary, feed them when necessary, and maintain the cleanliness of the water, one day they will produce, we don’t need to be so impatient.If there is no condition, we let them stay stable in the original tank, and in the summer, throw them into any foam box, organize the box, and the water volume is large, let them produce safely, if we can raise a piece of green water or add some small fish grub live food, we basically don’t need to worry about it, just wait for the fish seedlings to harvest, this is easy to operate and easy to succeed, and soon we will have a big harvest.
