Peacock fish, a small tropical ornamental fish species, is loved by many aquarists because of its bright body color, variety and high ornamental value. How to optimize the quality of peacock fish is something that many people are happy to do. However, if you can’t notice the pregnancy of peacock fish in time, it may cause difficult birth due to the chasing of male fish, and may even jump out of the tank.

The peacock fish is a prolific fish species, so we need to pay more attention to the physical condition of the peacock fish on a daily basis, and take certain measures in time if we find any female fish suspected of being pregnant.

Caring for a pregnant female is still a very simple task, but there are some tips or characteristics on how to tell if a peacock fish is pregnant. In the early stages of pregnancy, you can see if there is a black spot on the belly of the anal fin. However, if the black spot is not very obvious, there may be very few fertilized eggs, so you can spend some more time observing the female.

In fact, to see whether the belly of the fish is bulging is not a direct judgment of the peacock fish, the belly bulge may also be too fat this peacock fish, but if this time the fish’s belly into a cone, and the back of the belly is almost vertical, then this peacock should be pregnant.

When the peacock fish is pregnant, it will be very irritable and keep swimming in the tank, but sometimes it will be very low and will find a small hidden corner to hide, and not much swimming, which is most likely to be about to give birth.

When a peacock fish is about to give birth, the female needs to be placed in a separate, clean and disinfected aquarium as a way to ensure the survival rate of the young. When the peacock fish are about to spawn, the water temperature of the aquarium should be reasonably regulated, and adequate nutrition should be ensured. A special point to note is that peacock fish eat small fish, so when the peacock fish have finished spawning they can be put back into the original aquarium directly, while the young fish continue to live in the aquarium they were born in for a while. Careful observation, raising anything requires care and love, and careful care will give you more beautiful harvest.
