CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Why do all the baby peacock fish die when they are born?

1. Why do all the baby fish of peacock tropical fish die after birth?

The water quality is not good, the temperature is not up to standard, and the small fish fry have very strict requirements on the temperature, preferably between 26-28 degrees. Lack of oxygen is also possible. It is best to put the peacock alone in a fish tank before laying the small fish. It’s okay if it’s small, but it must be alone! The temperature and oxygen in the tank must be guaranteed, and it should not be exposed to direct sunlight. The small fish do not need to be fed on the first day after they come out. On the second day, feed them with shelled brine shrimp, or cooked egg yolks. Crush the egg yolks and put them in the fish tank to feed. Don’t feed too much. If conditions permit, it is better to feed live brine shrimp eggs. If it dies at birth, it is fetal stillbirth. The mother fish has not been raised well. It is best to watch the mother fish alone a few days before giving birth and let it rest! In this way, some of them can generally survive.

2. The newly released fry keep dying. Is it due to lack of oxygen? How can I solve this problem?

New fish, especially fry, are very fragile after long-distance transportation, so be as careful as possible when bringing them home and adding new water.

In addition to the possibility of lack of oxygen, there are also operational reasons for the death. First of all, you cannot pour new fish directly into the fish tank. The correct way is to put them in the fish tank with the bag and let them adapt to the environment and water temperature. After half an hour, open the bag and slowly scoop the water in the fish tank into the bag. The ratio is basically the same as the water in the original bag. The purpose of this is to allow the fish to further adapt to the water temperature and the pH of the water. Then, after another half an hour, you can scoop the fry into the fish tank. Do not feed them on the first day, and do not put them under strong light. After a few days, you can raise them normally.

3. What happened to the guppy fry with gray eyes and death?

Of course they will die. It's a water quality issue.

4. Why do my guppy fry die?

A sudden rise in water temperature will produce bubbles and affect metabolism; or if you mix it with other fish, peacocks are also easily affected. Check if your fish tail has been bitten by other fish; another problem is your fish tank. The water circulates for too long and the filter pad needs to be kept clean.
