Goldfish or Carassius auratus are part of the carp family. These beauties, beloved by all aquarists, came to us from China, where they were bred 1500 years ago. But those goldfish were different from those of today, which were bred by breeders in the X-XI centuries. This species is distinguished not only by its beauty, but also by its unpretentiousness, funny character, and longevity. It is pleasant to keep and grow goldfish on your own.
It is necessary
- - 2 male and 1 female goldfish;
- - an aquarium with a volume of 30 to 100 liters;
- - lighting system;
- - filter;
- - wine cork;
- - nylon wool;
- - live food.
Instructions
Step 1
The first step is to build a spawning ground so that caviar sticks to it. Take a cork from wine, wrap it at least 30 times with green nylon wool, then pass other pieces of this wool 20 cm long under the threads and carefully knot everything together. Rinse the structure with warm water and place it in the aquarium, lightly sinking the long ends of the threads, let them float under the surface of the water.
Step 2
Fill a separate large aquarium with standing water, place a filter in it, and plant two male and one female goldfish. Provide long-term lighting to make the fish think it is summer, change 20% of the water daily, feed the fish natural food. They will spawn for several days, watch the process. Then put the goldfish in a shared aquarium, otherwise they may eat the eggs and fry.
Step 3
Fry will appear from the eggs after 4-5 days. At first, they will feed on the contents of the remaining yolk sacs. Then, when the fish begin to swim out of the spawning ground, feed them special food for the fry. It consists of microscopic algae and is sold at pet stores.
