As the fry grows, it’s essential to separate them by gender to prevent uncontrolled breeding and ensure optimal conditions for each group. This separation helps manage breeding and allows you to monitor their development more closely.
You may keep certain fish that exhibit desirable traits for future breeding. This selective process allows you to develop a lineage with unique colors or patterns, creating a one-of-a-kind display in your aquarium. This breeding aspect can be fascinating, as it often leads to unique fish not commonly found in stores.
Consider using separate tanks or larger grow-out containers to manage these groups effectively. This approach helps control their environment and allows for better water quality, temperature, and diet management, which are crucial for healthy growth.
