Breeding Techniques for Tropical Freshwater
Fish

To breed fish in your aquarium, acquaint yourself with the different species suitable for
breeding and learn how to simulate natural conditions for spawning in the aquarium.

Classify the Gender

First, learn to identify the gender of the fish. Some species have distinct differences while
other species have fine distinctions between the sexes. In the latter type, you can detect the
gender only by the size of the genitalia during spawning times.

Choosing a Pair

Select a good pair of the same species for spawning so that the progeny produced is
attractive. Avoid hybrids and unhealthy fish as the offspring may be deformed and may not
survive.

Classification of Fish Based on Method of Reproduction

Five Types of Egg bearers.

  1. Egg scatterers lay a large number of small eggs on plants or the substrate and do not
    take care of them. They might even consume them.
  2. Egg depositors lay a small number of larger eggs on the substrate. Some species like
    catfish care for the eggs while a few like Killifish abandon them. Among those who care
    for eggs, some lay eggs in a cave while others lay them in the open.
  3. Egg buriers like Killifish lay eggs in the dry mud yearly at maturity. The parents die and
    the eggs hatch with the first drops of rain.
  4. Some species breed fry in the mouth. A few ovophiles like cichlids lay eggs in the mud
    and the mother then sucks them up. They are fertilized externally and hatch in the
    mother’s mouth.
  5. A few larvophiles, like eartheaters, deposit eggs on the substrate and then keep the
    larvae in their mouth. Once the fry are big enough, the mother releases them.

A few species like labyrinth fish build nests out of bubbles and look after the fry there.

Other fish bear live young. Ovoviviparous species the eggs hatch inside the female and in
viviparous fish the female gives birth to a live fish.

Prepare Fish for Spawning

The next step is to feed the fish high quality food like insects, and brine shrimp that prepares
them for spawning. You can also stimulate rain-like conditions to initiate spawning.

Creating the Spawning Tank

It is advisable to have a separate tank to ensure the good health and survival of the fry. The
tank should have water at an optimum temperature, a heater and a slow moving filter that
does not harm the eggs. You should modify the tank with substrate, cavities or plants,
depending on the breeding habits of the fish as described above. It is best to remove the
eggs to this tank to ensure their survival. For species that care for their young, shift the
parents and the eggs to the spawning tank for best results.

Taking Care of the Fry

You can rear the fry in the same spawning tank and feed them infusoria. Cover the tank with
black paper to protect the fry from developing fungal infections. As they grow you can feed
them daphnia, dry flakes and micro worms. Change a quarter of the water daily and feed the
fry several times a day for optimum growth.

Food for the Offspring

Fish offspring need a nutritious diet so that they grow up healthy. You also need to feed
them more frequently compared to adult fish. You can feed the offspring live food or frozen
live food thawed properly. Daphnia, micro worm, brine shrimp, and earthworms are some of
the live feed that you can give to the offspring. You can feed the herbivores blanched spinach
or lettuce leaves. To avoid contamination of the aquarium tank, it is best to feed the offspring
live food cultured in the home. Always clean the tank periodically of any uneaten food to
avoid its decomposition. Most importantly, buy food for the offspring from a reputed aquatic
supplies shop.

Here is some live food that you can produce as cultures yourself. You can start by feeding the
offspring infusoria of organisms obtained from decomposing animal or vegetable matter. It is
easy to make infusoria by keeping some vegetable in a jar of tank water. The airborne
spores germinate within no time and you can directly feed them to the offspring.

After this you feed the offspring brine shrimp. To hatch brine shrimp buy their eggs from a
shop and place them in a bottle half-full of tap water. Add some salt to it and put a small
amount of eggs in to it. The eggs hatch in airtight conditions after a day and a half. Use a
pipe to draw the newly hatched brine shrimp, wash them and then feed then to the fry.

Another good feed is micro worms. Take some porridge and add a culture of micro worms
that you get from a shop or from a friend. Cover it and keep it in a warm place and you will
have worms coming out of the container after some days. Clean them and feed it to the
offspring. Gradually start the fry on dry food, along with the live feed. Ultimately you can feed
the offspring an optimum combination of dry and live food, depending on your judgment.

Freshwater Fish Aquarium.

you had as a child into an aquatic wonderland?

moat.

    elements  and accessories.

    you should buy considering the tank size, should you have more than one species and
    how and where to buy your fish.

    longevity.

  • Do you want to add non-fish species like snails, shrimp or crab?
