Much like mermaids of the same kind, neon swallows are not difficult to breed. There is no need to transfer water to the north of China, but experienced people know that the breeding of this kind of fish is a very long process. The age of the young fish produced varies greatly.
In addition, it is noted that the family Sciaenidae (a common mermaid) generally produces a large number of small fish eggs. Mullet is not. Their egg production is small, but each egg is big. Each female neon swallow only lays 5~ 10 fish eggs every day. Even if I don't find it, it won't exceed 20. The courtship process of neon swallow is similar to that of other beautiful women. Males are brightly colored and have extended fins. Unique, his pectoral fin is held high. The process you can imagine is similar to that of ordinary beauty, lantern fish, tiger skin fish and zebra.
Artificial breeding should choose large and bright parent fish. Fish eggs are scattered on aquatic plants and bottom sand. Because it is a long-term ovulation, it is more troublesome to find and collect fish eggs.
Use empty cylinders. Then put in three or four pairs of healthy and excellent parent fish for colony breeding. Put a bunch of floating nylon mops. This is the same as that used to breed some giant fish. Their eggs will stick to the mop. At the peak of breeding, change a mop every day or every other day. Because the eggs are very large, they can be seen and carefully picked and hatched in small containers. Because of the long incubation period, the water used for incubation can be mixed with a proper amount of bactericide. Don't forget to record the date of each collection. It takes seven to ten days from egg discharge to the birth of the little neon swallow.
The unfertilized egg rate of neon swallow is about one quarter. Parent fish should be fed with fresh bait. If the parent fish is malnourished, the white egg rate will be higher.
