fish breeding

Fish breeding refers to the process of mating fish to produce offspring. In captivity, fish can be encouraged to breed through controlled environments, appropriate water conditions, and specific diets. Many species have distinct courtship behaviors, where males often display vivid colors or perform dances to attract females. After mating, females lay eggs, which are fertilized by males. Depending on the species, the eggs may be cared for by the parents or left to develop on their own. Successful breeding contributes to conservation efforts and provides a sustainable source of fish for aquariums and the fishkeeping community.
