Once the tiger skin fish spawns, the fish should be taken out and raised immediately, because they have the habit of swallowing eggs. Each female fish can lay 200-500 eggs each time, and the tiger fish can breed many times a year. The fertilized eggs of tiger fish are semi-adhesive with zona pellucida, often adhering to blades of grass or falling under the stencil. The broodstock takes a long time to spawn. If the broodstock is observed in the afternoon the next day, if there is no spawning action, the fish will be taken out. If white eggs are found, use a straw to remove them in time.

The fertilized eggs of the tiger skin fish hatched larvae after about 36 hours , larvae drag their tails out of their shells. After 48 hours, the larvae were suspended on the tank wall and aquatic plants with their heads facing upward, neither eating nor swimming. After 2-3 days, they are hung under the aquatic plants or adhered to the glass wall. After 4 days, they were free to swim, and the larvae began to forage and swim. You can feed the shuishui first, and then change to small fish and insects after a week, and enter the normal feeding stage.
