Reproduction of scalars in a common aquarium
The squares are a very unpretentious species of aquarium plants.fish, in addition, they have a very interesting coloring. Such qualities have provided them with great popularity among aquarists. But the spawning of the scalars in a common aquarium is fraught with the fact that other fish will simply eat their eggs.
The squares are very well adapted forreproduction in captivity, that is, in aquariums. For this, there is no need to do anything supernatural. It is enough to follow the cleanliness and temperature regime of water in a home pond and provide fish with live food. If these conditions are met, your pets will begin to breed in six months. Very often the first attempts do not lead to anything good. There are a number of nuances that take place to be when breeding the fishes.
Nuances of breeding
For all its charm, the sclerias are very badparents. Under certain conditions, they begin to eat their young. That is why it is recommended to use a separate aquarium for their breeding, in order to avoid problems. Breeding them in a common aquarium is appropriate only if there is no other option.Reproduction of sclerias
Like many species of fish, the squirrel breeds withhelp caviar. When the female understands that the moment of spawning is close, she begins to look for a suitable place for this process. In an aquarium, this can be the surface of leaves and stones or the wall of the aquarium itself. Some aquarists put a thin oblong green plastic or plexiglass, resembling natural plants, to the fish. A favorite place is thoroughly cleaned from plaque and debris. Only when the work is completed, the female goes directly to the spawning process. Caviar laying on the cleared surface occurs with maximum responsibility. After the mother, the father swims and is engaged in the fertilization of each laid-off egg. Actually, their parents' instincts end on this. There is no guarantee that they will be involved in the protection of offspring, much less they will not eat them at the stage of origin. That's why you need to move the caviar to another aquarium. If this is not done, then there are no guarantees for the preservation of the offspring. Move the caviar very carefully, so as not to damage it. Much depends on the surface on which it was postponed. If this is an alga, it is best to cut the sheet, if it is a stone or an artificial object, then just gently move it to another aquarium. With a favorable outcome, after 2-3 days you will see the first movements in the eggs. But you should know that the fry of the scaly are very sensitive to microorganisms, and therefore, to avoid the death of all offspring, antibacterial agents, for example blue, should be added to the water.
