Good morning... Today my fish are breeding.
These two males are chasing this female and they are determined to breed with her.
On this basis, I will transfer them to another fish tank for them to breed in.
how to breed goldfish
This female is laying eggs for the first time.
She is now eight months old and ready to lay eggs,
males too . It is the first time to be sexually prepared,
and I started chasing the female
of this age for fish. It is difficult for her eggs to hatch after mating, but I will try my luck. I will
prepare a fish breeding tank, which is a plastic food
container
. They put their eggs in it
to ensure that the eggs will hatch and not rot.
When I clean the plastic food container well, I will keep the eggs from rotting.
Most breeders fail to hatch eggs, and this is all because of rotting.
On this basis, I have to clean the fish breeding tank
and take care, and even clean it And I wiped its walls with my hands
after I prepared the breeding tank. I will add water to it from the water of the fish tank
in order to preserve the transmission of the smell of reproduction to the breeding tank
and to ensure that the breeding process does not stop if I transfer them to the breeding tank
, meaning I will transfer the smell with the
water
. I transferred two males, and I will transfer the female with them as well.
It is better to put two males with one female, why?
Because if I put more males, there will be confusion in chasing the female
because sometimes the males will be distracted by the smell and will chase the males instead of the female!
I have placed the two most active males I have with this female.
After I put these two males with the female, I will add plants.
I always use plants in reproduction
in order to stimulate
the purest
to
lay eggs. Her climb to the top of the nest
will hang, and the males will catch up with her, and then they will squeeze her abdomen,
release her eggs, and release semen (the pollination fluid).
I noticed that I have more than one female ready to breed.
I have laid more than two males, and now I have four males and two females.
The mating hunt begins after two o'clock Ten in the middle of the night,
and especially if you turn off the lights at night in the
dark, it stimulates the fish to chase, and the males follow the scent that the females release to let the males know that they are ready to reproduce
.
Even if there is darkness, and it is better for there to be darkness at night.
Reproduction is active in the early morning hours.
I got out of bed at six in the morning.
It seemed to me that it was very active. It
started laying eggs.
You will now see how it lays eggs.
There are many ways to prepare mating ponds.
Some fish breeders They put a plastic net
under the goldfish.
When they release their eggs, the eggs will fall below the plastic net.
This method I never use, but rather I create my own method.
This method is that I know that the eggs that fall
and do not stick together will most likely not hatch!
I do not care about putting a plastic net under the fish,
even if the eggs fall to the bottom of the tank
and the fish try to eat them, they will not be able to,
because the eggs have stuck to the bottom of the tank.
You will soon see how the eggs fall to the bottom and stick
, and the fish will not eat them!
And that the fish try to eat the eggs, but it is useless because they stick.
If you like the experience of moving the eggs with your finger to the eggs that stick
and try to move the eggs,
you will discover that the eggs that stick
to the walls or plants or in the bottom
will hatch.
She searches at the top of the tank in order to lay her eggs
, and this is why I do not advise you to put a net at the bottom of the tank.
Females search
and climb to the top and lay eggs
because the eggs get the most oxygen at the top
. Notice the female that she picks things up from the bottom of the tank!
What does it catch?....it catches unfertilized eggs!
In addition, it picks up impurities
around the eggs that have fallen
so that the eggs do not rot.
This is one of the most important reasons why breeders complain that their eggs rot?
Especially the breeders who squeeze the abdomen of the female, male and female, to get the eggs out,
because they will leave the eggs without cleaning by the parents,
and the Lord has wisdom in His creation of creatures... The fish know how to clean their eggs
because they remove any rot that is present on the eggs!
And leave the fertilized eggs
, which will hatch after three days.
This instinct to clean the eggs is present in all types of fish.
Do not worry about the eggs. The fish do not eat their attached eggs.
They only eat the unfertilized eggs
in front of you. Note this egg
remaining in its place and not being eaten.
Notice that there are many eggs in the bottom that are
present, fixed and attached.
I do not fear them. With God’s care, they will hatch after
