FACTORS AFFECTING BREEDING
Proper
substrate
Cover Temperature
pH Live foods Lighting
Number of
fish
CLASSIFICATION OF ORNAMENTAL
FISHES
On the basis of their breeding behavior.
Egg layers
(oviparous)
Live
bearers(ovo-
viviparous)
EGG LAYERS
EGG LAYERS
Breeding in egg layers.
Egg layers spawn by several means.
Breeding by external fertilization.
Separate male & female hormone produce in
fish.
The egg are laid fertilize out side the fish body.
Important group of egg layers are
Barbs,Rasboras,Danios,Betas,Anglefish
& Gouramis.
CLASSIFICATION OF EGG LAYERS
Based on the type of incubation egg
laying fishes are further classified as.
Mouth
brooders
Egg
scatterers
Egg buriers
Egg
depositors
Nest
builders
MOUTH BROODERS
Fertilized by spawning before gathered in
mouth.
Eggs are laid in water ,then collected in
mouth once fertilized.
Held in mouth until birth.
E.g.
Bettas Cichlid Cardinal fish
EGG DEPOSITORS
Sticky eggs are laid in one spot usually on the
bottom substrate or on aquarium glass.
Male swim by & fertilized egg.
Some depositors guard their eggs & fry.
E.g.
Clown fish Rainbow fish Barb
EGG BURIERS
Female dives in soft substrate to lay eggs.
Eggs are buried in the substrate.
Male dives into substrate to fertilized eggs.
E.g.
Killifishes
NEST BUILDERS
Nest made of plant material or bubble(foam) in
substrate.
Fishes lay eggs by spawning.
The nest is generally build by males.
E.g.
Siamese fighter Blue gourami Angel fish
EGG SCATTERERS
Fertilized by spawning.
Fishes lay sticky & non-sticky egg.
Sticky eggs are laid within a certain area under
cover & non-sticky eggs are laid in open water.
E.g.
Tiger barb Goldfish Zebra danios
LIVE BEARERS
LIVE BEARERS
Breeding in live bearers.
Fish produce by bearing live young or by laying
eggs.
Breeding by internal fertilization.
The eggs are fertilized & hatched within the
female.
They produce only a few numbers of offspring in
comparison to egg layers.
The common live bearers are
Guppy , Black molly, Sword tail & Platy.
LIVE BEARERS
