It is required to you

- Ceramic pots, roots of trees, nylon thread, broad-leaved plants - depending on a species of fishes
- Pipette
Instruction
1. Decide what fishes you are going to breed. They are viviparous and ikromechushchy. Viviparous bring viable whitebaits into the world, and their reproduction usually does not demand special conditions. To a female one fertilization suffices to bring into the world of whitebaits of 7-8 times. At the same time in one dung she has several dozen whitebaits.
2. Select couple of producers, the largest and correctly put female and a male. Pay attention to coloring, it has to be the brightest of all available fishes. Transplant producers in a separate aquarium.
3. When there are whitebaits, divide parents and posterity. At once begin them to feed whitebaits with a small Cyclops. As a forage live dust also will be suitable for newborns. Periodically give small polished egg yolk.
4. With growth of whitebaits change their diet. Give a Cyclops more largely, a water flea, a crank.
5. Prepare for spawning of ikromechushchy fishes. At each look the spawning happens differently. It is necessary to consider temperature and thickness of a water layer, its structure, oxygen content. Determine the size of a spawning area and substrate which needs to be put in an aquarium, quantity and plant species,
6. Transplant producers in a spawning aquarium. Mating dance begins with the fact that the female makes advances to a male. Then their roles change, the male pursues a female. Then the female lays caviar, and the male impregnates it.
7. After fertilization transplant producers as many species of fish eat the caviar or whitebaits. Take away not impregnated calves from a spawning aquarium the pipette, otherwise it will decay. Caviar develops of 2-3 days. There are species of fish at which development of caviar has longer period, from 10 days to several months and even about half a year. After that from caviar whitebaits hatch.
8. You feed whitebaits with live dust. When they grow up and everything will become twice less than adult relatives, replace them in the general aquarium.
