Chef fish breeding is actually very easy. We need to prepare some supplies for this fish cultivation and learn how to cultivate this chef fish. Therefore, fish lovers can do their own cultivation without the help of others. Here's how to cultivate this chef's fish.
Provide an aquarium
In the cultivation of goldfish this chef can we do in the aquarium. The thing that needs to be done is to prepare the necessary supplies and the most important equipment of course the aquarium itself. Provide an aquarium of 80 cm for its length, 40 cm for its width, and 40 cm for its height. The aquarium needs to be provided as many as four aquariums.
Filling Water to Aquarium
Fill the aquarium with water with a height of about 20 cm. But before put in the aquarium, water should be precipitated first to decrease the water ph content. Good ph content to breed fish chef is about 7.2 - 7.4, while water temperature is about 24-26 degrees Celsius, oxygen content about 2-5 ppm, co2 content maximum 10 ppm, and nitrite maximal 0.2. Especially for oxygen in water its availability must be stable. To stabilize the water oxygen of the aquarium, we can use the aerator.
Once the water is put into the aquarium, then we can add a water hyacinth plant in the aquarium to paste fish eggs and can increase spawning stimulation.
Selecting Chefs
For spawning the chef fish, we need to select the broodstock and selected broodstock must have good health condition, lively, and ripe egg. For the characteristics of male chef fish that are ready to dipijahkan among others is the fish will release a milky white liquid if the stomach in the order, there is a small white lump on the lid of the gills or sometimes in the first finger of the fins on the chest, and oval-shaped rectum and small.
Meanwhile, the characteristics of female chef fish that are ready to dipijahkan, among others, is a female chef fish will remove the yellow liquid if the stomach is sorted, slightly bloated stomach, and large and round rectal size.
Hatching Fish Eggs
The process of hatching the eggs of a chef's fish usually lasts about 2-4 days. Of the eggs produced by the chef's fish, there are usually several eggs that can not hatch. Eggs that can not hatch will usually rot and moldy. Take the rotting eggs so as not to contaminate the aquarium water.
After the eggs hatch, we should really pay attention to the condition of the aquarium water because the sapling fish or larvae are very vulnerable to death. allowed water temperature between 24-28 degrees Celsius. In addition, the availability of oxygen also needs to be considered and if necessary use an aerator to increase oxygen in water.
