Hemibagrus guttatus is a carnivorous freshwater fish. Its reproduction method is as follows:
1. Choose the appropriate breeding time and environment:
- The breeding period of Black-tailed Giant Hook is usually from spring to summer, and the water temperature should be between 28-30°C.
- A certain level of fresh water quality is required. If the water quality is too poor, the breeding success rate will be affected.
2. Select brood fish suitable for breeding:
- Select healthy fish that have reached sexual maturity as brood fish. They can be identified by observing the thickness of the fish body and whether the reproductive organs are fully developed.
3. Provide a suitable spawning site:
- Provide a suitable breeding site for black-tailed giant hooks, and you can use breeding boxes or fish tanks.
- A sand bed or fish egg net should be laid at the bottom to provide a suitable spawning site.
4. Provide appropriate environmental stimulation:
- Provide appropriate environmental stimulation, such as suitable light and water flow, to stimulate the black-tailed hook to lay eggs.
- Reproductive success can also be improved by simulating seasonal changes and implementing appropriate dietary restrictions before spawning.
5. Harvest and hatch eggs:
- Under normal circumstances, fish will spawn naturally and sink the eggs to the bottom. Swirling chemicals can be used appropriately to promote the fertilization of some eggs in the water.
- Harvest the eggs and move them to an incubator for hatching. The hatching success rate can be improved by adding hatching fluid containing appropriate nutrients.
In short, breeding black-tailed hooks requires various conditions and skills such as appropriate time, environmental stimulation, feeding and management, etc. It is necessary to fully understand its breeding characteristics and practice debugging.
