The short-nosed liujian has high requirements on the water area when breeding. It is recommended to use a large tank over 120cm to breed the short-nosed liujian. Lay large stones, a small amount of rocks or shrubs at the bottom of the tank, we can in the corner of the tank to build nests for it, the height should not be too high, preferably short females It is most suitable for the six-footed fish to hide in the middle. The short-nosed Liujian fish likes quiet, soft light, clear water, and the temperature is best controlled between 24-26 degrees. When it is found that the ovipositor in the abdomen of the female short-nosed Liujian is protruding, it is the signal to lay eggs. At this time, the male short-nosed six-foot fish will guide the female short-nosed six-footed fish into its nest.

After the female short-nosed liujian fish lays eggs, keep the eggs in her mouth, and the male short-nosed liujian fish will step up and discharge the sperm into the female short-nosed liujian. Fertilization is carried out in the mouth of the snailfish, and after spawning, the female snailfish will swim back to her nest. Under normal circumstances, female short-nosed sixjan fish with eggs in their mouth will not eat, but if the female short-nosed six-footed fish is very interested in food, the eggs in the female short-nosed six-footed fish must be forced to take out manually. incubation.

The female short-nosed Liujian fish with eggs in the mouth will spit out the eggs after 15-18 days. At this time, the fish-shaped larvae can be seen in the eggs. If it is forced from the female short-nosed fish For the eggs taken from the mouths of Liujian fish, we should put them in the filter screen, and use a small air pump under the filter screen to ensure that the eggs can hatch in flowing water, and always pay attention to the situation of the eggs to avoid mildew. In about 20 days, the larvae will hatch. We can move the larvae to a smaller fish tank and feed them with egg yolks. After two weeks, live food such as fish and insects can be added. to increase nutrition.
