"Guppy", also known as "guppy", is named after the surname of an Englishman, Raquel Guppy, who discovered this species of fish. He is a botanist himself. After discovering these beautiful small fish in rivers and swamps in Turin, he was introduced to the western peacock fish in the 19th century. After the 2th century, the lovers of this fish spread all over Britain, Germany, the United States, Japan and other places, becoming a very popular and common ornamental fish.
these fish can also be found in the country rivers and streams of hong kong.
life span of guppy: brief and beautiful
guppy has always been regarded as a species with strong vitality, but its life span is quite short, with an average of only about one year. However, it is very rare that some improved varieties can live for more than one year. The life of guppy is beautiful and short.
breeding cycle:
when the environment is suitable, it can be bred once a month, and the yield of a fetus is about 15 to 1 small fish. After three to five months of breeding, small fish have reproductive ability and can reproduce the next generation.
1. Problem of peacock's tail:
1. There are many bloodshot spots on the tail edge of peacock fish. What should I do?
Answer:
Method 1: It is bacterial infection caused by poor water quality. Soak it in 3% salt water for 1 minutes, [you should see the degree of the disease, and if it is serious, reduce the concentration to 1%]. Once or twice a day.
Method 2: Keep the water clean, and the broken part will automatically fall off in a few days. You can also pick up the fish, put potassium permanganate on it with a cotton swab, and rub it on your tail.
2. Peacock's tail suddenly tapers. Because the water quality is not good, change one third of the water every day.
A: Pay attention to the water quality and water temperature! Fish have no spirit, their tails shrink together, and they swim slowly. If they are late, they will be hopeless! When changing water, should we pay attention to the same temperature of the added water? What's the weather like? If it rains, we should reduce the water exchange, and we can add a small amount of furacilin to prevent diseases. < P > It's needle tail disease. It's very difficult to treat. Try adding salt and increasing the current.
3. Why do my fish have rotten tails every once in a while? The interval is almost the same, about 2 weeks, and they are all male fish, and none of them are fine! !
a:
change the cylinder! I have encountered such things, I call them, feng shui does not match! Haha, it's very demon. It'll be fine in a second.
4. Peacocks began to rot, one after another. There were silver sharks, traffic lights, panda rats and lichen rats in mixed culture. What medicine did you use? Did the pharmacy have it? How to use it?
Answer:
It should be better to use some nitrofurazone. Warm it up, go to the fish shop and tell the boss that they should sell it there, and it's not expensive, just around 1 yuan. Use it according to the above instructions, and so is my fish. Later, I used some medicine. The sick fish should be isolated, or it won't be contagious. My fish is all sick, but fortunately it was found early. Don't. Ill fish are open, but generally they are too rotten to live.
5. the fish shrinks its tail, and at the bottom of the tank, sometimes things are eaten, and sometimes things are not eaten. what should I do?
A: Rotten fin disease
often leads to the deterioration of water quality due to overfeeding and changing water for a long time, which leads to the fin edge falling off and slow movement. Male guppies often shrink their wide triangular tail into a tail due to the sudden change of water quality.
Treatment:
Change water by half first, and then treat it after 5-8 days depending on the situation. To raise guppies, it is necessary to change the water frequently first, and the filter cotton should be cleaned regularly at ordinary times to avoid the breeding of germs.
2. The problem of peacock fish breeding:
1. The mother fish is about to give birth to her baby! What should we do? I've only bought those fish for two days, and I'm not very good at raising them ~ ~ ~ I also have a small fish tank, which can give birth to small fish for the mother fish, but can I put two mother fish in one tank at the same time? Will they eat each other's fish babies?
A:
They can be put together. Remember to take out the mother fish after eating. It will go to eat small fish. Don't be too small, or the mother fish will be very anxious. Peacocks are viviparous, so you can buy a raw fish box. Put the box directly in a tank bigger than the box, and the mother fish can be born whenever she likes, so don't worry about going to eat small fish. Of course, there can't be any other fish in the tank, or the mother fish will eat the small fish if she doesn't eat it.
2. How big is a fish's belly to be considered as a small fish?
a:
as long as it's not big, it's there! But it doesn't have to be born! When the baby is born, the back of the abdomen is black, and you can almost see the small fish inside. At the same time, when the anus is raised, it is going to be born!
3. What are the prenatal signs of Bai Zi peacocks?
A:
Generally, the female fish in Bai Zi, like the wild female fish, have a slightly open prenatal birth canal, which is at right angles, with obvious reproductive holes protruding, which may not be accurate according to the size of their bellies.
4. What are the small fish fed after they are born?
A: Daphnia, fish meal, bumper shrimp, worms, egg yolk water (boiled egg yolk is crushed), and chopped red worms. The feed can be dried or dried (crushed into powder), and it will grow faster if fed to live fish.
5. My fish is almost two months old, only 4,5 cm, and.
A: Two months after birth, the small fish grows up, and then it begins to grow up slowly. At this time, it begins to approach the adult fish, and its tail and dorsal fin become bigger and longer, and its color is more gorgeous. The small fish basically stabilizes from half a year after birth.
6. How to prevent the mother fish from dystocia? The mother fish's belly has reached a certain scale, but there is no sign of being born. She has changed the jar, ate several meals a day, and suffered from red worms, feed and blood worms. < P > She has a good appetite and is not active.
A: Don't scare it. Drink water and feed well. When you are ready to be born, you can't stimulate it with new water. If you can't regenerate, you can't help it. It's normal for a peacock to have a big stomach and don't like exercise. However, it's easy to get bad water if you are fed too much.
7. Excuse me, why are half of the small fish born by my peacock still eggs? Don't you say it's viviparous?
a: it is not completely fertilized or fertilized but not well developed, or it may be too close to blood or malnutrition. Avoid sudden changes (sudden changes in temperature and water quality and human shock) and serve with good feed.
8. How to divide male and female? (The data comes from Taiwan Province Laodie Guppy Exchange Network)
A: The correct way to distinguish guppy males is by the mating device behind the ventral fin. Other characteristics such as the size and bright color of the caudal fin can be used as an auxiliary judgment, but it may lead to misjudgment; The mother fish is judged by the fetal spots, and the fetal class is the black spots on the left and right positions above the ventral fin. With the growth and maturity of the mother fish, the fetal spots after insemination will become larger and larger, which means that the eggs are gradually maturing. Generally speaking, the fetal spots of the original color mother fish are black, while those of the yellowed species and Bai Zi are yellow-red, but if the offspring are the original color, the fetal spots will also turn black.
The larvae can't be divided into males and females until the fetal spots appear, which takes about one month. If a virgin female fish is needed, the female fish should be fished out as long as the fetal spots appear (the female fish must have appeared earlier). The rest is the male fish, which is safer.
9. production precursors? (The information comes from Taiwan Province Daddy Guppy Exchange Network)
Generally speaking, the fertilized female fish can give birth to young fish within 28 days, but the pregnancy will be shortened by about three weeks in summer. When the female fish is going to give birth, some special features can be used to put the female fish to be born in the litter box:
1 The mother fish's stomach is swollen greatly, and it is square at the fetal spot.
2 began to have black stool, and the defecation was rough.
3 doesn't like eating very much.
4 always stands by quietly and drives other fish away.
5 it is obvious that the cylinder door is a little protruding.
6 The gluteal fin will be contracted and the tail will be raised from time to time.
guppy spawning
If the mother fish may have dystocia due to sudden external interference or sudden environmental changes before production, then artificial guppy spawning is necessary. Repeated changes in the environment can make the mother fish feel pressure to produce, such as the fluctuation of water temperature or ph value, which is why many people easily find the mother fish producing on the way to buy fish.
there is an artificial method to promote birth, that is, put in a heating rod to slowly raise the water temperature, and then remove the heating rod to naturally cool it, and repeat it. It is also possible to change the mother fish in labor into brand-new water, of course, after a gentle water-matching process, which will not only help to urge the mother fish to produce, but also avoid the mother fish from getting sick and give the newborn fish a clean environment. I think many people have the experience of sudden production of female fish after changing water or drugging, which should be the same.
whether it is necessary to give birth is another topic. Some people are trying to grasp the time of collecting larvae, while others are afraid that the mother fish will have a difficult birth. However, in the general environment, the probability of dystocia is not high, but the pollution, urgency and even injury caused by improper use of the litter box may lead to the death of the mother fish, and ignoring the postpartum mother fish environment is also one of the reasons.
appearance during production
1. The lower body of the female fish is downward, and the head is close to the water surface.
2 sometimes sinks or rises up and down.
3 will suddenly bump and stop.
4 The pectoral fins beat faster than usual.
5 the caudal fin and ventral fin will shrink.
6 slightly raise the tail.
7 larvae are ejected like a small ball.
1. postpartum care? (Information from Taiwan Province Laodie Guguppie Exchange Network)
The mother fish after production is extremely weak. Besides supplementing nutrition for the mother fish, it is best to replace some water, because in the whole production process, the body fluid released by the mother fish is very easy to cultivate a large number of bacteria in a short time. During these hours, a large number of bacteria will easily cause a large number of young fish to die, and it will also cause bacterial infection of the mother fish to cause other diseases, so don't forget to change water after production.
The weak female fish should also minimize external interference. In order to prevent other fish from harassing the female fish, it is better to isolate the female fish. You can use a washing net or another independent tank to let the female fish rest for a day or two, while changing water and daily management are as usual. It may be better to use live bait for feed, reducing water pollution and stimulating the appetite of the female fish.
Larvae can eat within a few hours after birth, and feeding at this time is very important, which will be related to the future growth. It would be better to feed nutritious shrimp larvae every once in a week before birth. When feeding artificial feed, the particles should be smaller than the mouth (head) of young fish.
The tail fin of female fish will have different colors according to different species. If you are pregnant again after two weeks in the isolation box, it may be that the eggs conceived in the previous time have not fully matured until now. The female fish has the ability to store the sperm of the male fish, and it is not a problem to regenerate several births without mating with the male fish.
11. how to choose fish?
a: having excellent "parents" does not necessarily mean having excellent "daughters"; Without excellent breeding fish, there must be no excellent larval fish
Excellent larval fish lies in the choice of parent fish. The selection of parent fish is not only about appearance, but also about pedigree quality. The fish species propagated under systematization will obviously show the characteristics of each species, and only after strict selection and elimination can they be maintained can they meet the requirements of fish breeding.
In a good system, most of the juvenile fish produced by the parent fish have similar qualification characteristics with their parents. However, if there are problems in the environment and breeding technology such as the growth of the day after tomorrow, feeding, water management, etc., it will also cause regret. On the other hand, the offspring of parent fish born in a bad system are less likely to have good quality. Even if beautiful fish miraculously appear, they usually have short life or weak reproductive ability, and often have deformed or weak larvae, which of course cannot continue!
in the selection of male fish, the angle of tail fin is large, the color and appearance are eye-catching, the body is strong and symmetrical, the tail handle is fat, and the male fish full of vitality is the best choice.
In female fish, the most important thing is that the shape, color and appearance of the tail fin can all show the proper characteristics of its species. The best situation is that the female fish that has given birth to a young fish is the most ideal fish because its abdomen is very bulky and dark.
When buying, the fish aged 3-5 months are the most beautiful. If you choose a fish that is too young, you can't judge the appearance of its adult fish. In addition, fish over 6 months old are not easy to be used for breeding. Although they are beautiful, their life span is short, and they can't provide you with long-term viewing needs.
You can find all kinds of guppies in the aquarium, with different prices. The price of some fixed systematic species is usually higher, but sometimes the species of guppies are fixed, but if the output is large, they can be bought at a cheaper price; Similarly, there are some rare species, although the system has not yet been fixed, the price remains high. Therefore, the price of guppy is usually judged by the supply relationship, and you can consider the purchase according to your own hobbies and spending power.
12. About the hatching of the bumper shrimp
Bettachild hatches the bumper shrimp
It's actually very convenient to hatch the bumper shrimp, but it can be easily done with the necessary equipment for the first time
1. The soda plastic bottle (1.5 liters or 2 liters) is cut from the bottom of the bottle at a position of about four parts
. The simplest incubator was successfully built as long as it can keep the balance after water injection
3. Put the chemical salt into the water, and when it reaches the marked position by salinity measurement, it means that the salinity is appropriate. (When you do it several times, you can know the amount of salt, which can save the measurement step.)
4. Put it into an ordinary air hose to inflate, and pay attention to that the outlet of the throat should be placed at the bottom to make all the water contact with oxygen as much as possible. It's enough to make the water surface churn
5. Put in the shrimp eggs
6. Pay attention to the best place for hatching, and keep pumping air for 23-3 hours. The time depends on the temperature and the quality of the shrimp eggs. The higher the temperature, the shorter the time it takes (you don't need to pay attention to it at all)
At this stage, It can be calculated that the time from filling water to putting shrimp eggs is only about 2 minutes
I have the following experiences:
1. The next day (24 hours) after pumping, of course, it will be more accurate to know the quality of your shrimp eggs, and it will take more time in winter, so please pay attention to the color change of your eggs. When they are egg-shaped, they are dark brown, and the babies are born.
