Arowana, jise hum "Dragon Fish" bhi kehte hain, apne sleek body aur shimmering scales ke liye jaana jaata hai. Ye fish aquarium lovers ke liye kaafi popular hai. Agar aap arowana breed karna chahte hain, toh yeh ek challenging lekin rewarding experience ho sakta hai
1. Arowana Ke Types Aur Breeding Conditions
Sabse pehle, yeh samajhna zaroori hai ki arowanas ke kai types hote hain. Sabse popular species hain:
Asian Arowana (Scleropages formosus)
Silver Arowana (Osteoglossum bicirrhosum)
Jardini Arowana (Scleropages jardini)
Har species ki thodi different breeding requirements hoti hain, lekin basic principles same hi hote hain.
Arowanas egg-layers hain, aur inka breeding natural aur artificial dono tariko se ho sakta hai. Lekin, captive breeding (captivity mein breeding) thoda challenging hota hai. Wild mein yeh fish slow-moving rivers aur lakes mein rehti hain aur kaafi bada size (3 feet tak) le sakti hain.
2. Breeding Environment Kaise Banayein?
Arowanas ko breed karne ke liye unka environment bilkul natural hona chahiye. Yahan kuch key factors hain jo aapko dhyaan mein rakhne chahiye:
Tank Size Aur Setup:
Arowanas kaafi badi fish hoti hain, toh unke liye minimum 300 gallons (1135 liters) ka tank hona chahiye. Isse fish ko achhi swimming space milegi.
Water flow low rakhein, kyunki yeh fish slow-moving waters mein rehti hain.
Tank mein rocks, driftwood, aur plants ho sakte hain, lekin zyada cheezein rakhna nahi chahiye taaki fish ko space mile.
Water Conditions:
Temperature: Arowanas ko warm water pasand hai, toh water ka temperature 80°F se 86°F (27°C se 30°C) hona chahiye.
pH: Water ka pH slightly acidic se neutral hona chahiye (6.5 se 7.5).
Hardness: Soft to moderately hard water best hai.
Water Quality: Arowanas sensitive hoti hain water quality ke liye, toh aapko regular water changes (25-30% weekly) aur strong filtration system ki zarurat hogi.
Lighting: Arowanas ko low to moderate lighting chahiye hoti hai. Natural daylight spectrum ke LED lights use kar sakte hain.
3. Healthy Breeding Pairs Kaise Chunein?
Arowana fish ko breed karna ek challenging process hai, aur ismein sabse pehla aur important step hai healthy breeding pair ko select karna. Agar aap right pair choose karte hain, toh successful breeding ka chance aur bhi badh jaata hai. .
Mature Fish Ka Selection:
Arowanas ko sexually mature hone mein time lagta hai. Isliye breeding ke liye select karte waqt ye ensure karein ki fish kaafi mature hain.
Age: Arowanas typically 2-3 saal ke baad sexually mature ho jaati hain, lekin ye unke species par bhi depend karta hai. Asian arowana aur Silver arowana, dono ka maturity period similar hota hai.
Size: Generally, female arowana male se thodi badi hoti hai. Mature fish ka size typically 18-24 inches ke kareeb hota hai.
Health aur Physical Condition Check Karein:
Breeding pair ki health unki successful spawning ke liye kaafi important hai. Aapko pair ki overall health aur physical condition ko check karna chahiye:
Body Condition: Fish ka body condition healthy aur muscular hona chahiye. Agar fish ka body thin lag raha hai ya koi deformity hai, toh wo breeding ke liye suitable nahi hogi.
Coloration: Healthy arowanas ka color vibrant aur bright hota hai. Faded ya dull color ka matlab ho sakta hai ki fish stress ya disease mein hai, jo breeding mein dikkat la sakti hai.
Fin Condition: Fish ke fins clean, intact aur damage-free hone chahiye. Damaged ya torn fins indicate karte hain ki fish stressed ya injured ho sakti hai.
Breeding Behavior ka Observation:
Arowanas ka behavior observe karna bhi zaroori hai, kyunki kuch signs hote hain jo yeh indicate karte hain ki fish breeding ke liye ready hain.
Male Behavior: Male fish jab breeding ke liye ready hota hai, toh wo apne fins aur tail ko spread karke female ko impress karne ki koshish karta hai. Ye apne territory mein aggressive bhi ho sakta hai aur female ke paas aake swimming motions dikhata hai.
Female Behavior: Female arowana male ko follow karti hai aur uske actions mein interest dikhati hai. Agar female uninterested hai, toh shayad wo ready nahi hai ya pair compatible nahi hai.
Compatibility aur Temperament:
Arowanas kaafi territorial fish hoti hain, aur har male-female pair compatible nahi hota. Breeding ke liye compatible pair select karna zaroori hai, warna aggression ke chances badh jaate hain.
Compatibility Check: Jab aap new male aur female ko tank mein introduce karte hain, toh kuch time unka behavior observe karein. Agar dono fish peacefully rehte hain aur aggression nahi dikhate, toh ye compatibility ka sign ho sakta hai.
Separate Tank Testing: Agar pair mein compatibility ka issue ho raha hai, toh unhe alag tanks mein rakh kar observe karein aur phir dubara introduce karein. Kabhi-kabhi time ke saath fish compatible ho jaati hain.
Breeding Cycle aur Timing ka Dhyaan Rakhein:
Breeding ke liye ideal timing aur season ka bhi dhyaan rakhna zaroori hai. Wild mein arowanas seasonal breeders hote hain, lekin captivity mein proper conditions mein wo kisi bhi waqt breed kar sakte hain.
Ideal Conditions: Tank ka temperature aur water quality stable rakhna breeding ke liye zaroori hai. Agar fish ko natural habitat jaisi conditions milti hain, toh unka breeding cycle activate ho sakta hai.
Monitor Behavior Changes: Agar aapne fish mein koi behavioral changes notice kiye hain, jaise increased aggression ya fin movements, toh ye breeding ke liye readiness indicate karta hai.
Quarantine Aur Disease Prevention:
Breeding ke pehle fish ko quarantine karna bhi important hai, taaki unke health mein koi issue na ho aur wo disease-free hoon.
Quarantine Period: Agar aap new fish ko introduce kar rahe hain, toh unhe at least 2-4 weeks quarantine tank mein rakhna chahiye. Isse koi bhi disease spread hone se pehle detect ho jaayegi.
Disease Signs: Quarantine ke dauran fish ke body aur behavior mein koi abnormality check karein, jaise ich, fungal infections, ya fin rot. Healthy pair breeding ke dauran fry ke health aur survival rate badhate hain.
4. Breeding Process Kaise Hoti Hai?
Arowana fish ka breeding process fascinating aur unique hota hai, kyunki inka natural breeding behavior aur parental care unusual hota hai. Agar aap arowana breed karna chaahte hain, toh ye jaana zaroori hai ki breeding process mein kya steps involved hain aur aapko kin cheezon ka dhyaan rakhna hai.
Courtship Behavior Aur Pair Bonding:
Jab arowana pair breeding ke liye ready hota hai, toh wo courtship behavior dikhate hain, jo unki bonding aur breeding success ke liye zaroori hota hai.
Male Behavior: Male arowana apne fins aur tail ko spread karke swimming karte hain, aur female ko attract karne ke liye apni best movements dikhate hain.
Female Response: Female bhi interested hoti hai toh wo male ko closely follow karti hai. Ye dono fish ek specific area mein swim karte hain aur bonding create karte hain.
Chasing aur Circular Movements: Male aur female aapas mein chase karte hain aur circular patterns mein swim karte hain, jo breeding readiness ka indicator hota hai.
Spawning Site Selection:
Arowana naturally shallow aur calm waters mein eggs lay karte hain. Tank mein ye process simulate karna important hai.
Spawning Platform: Aap tank mein ek flat surface ya floating platform (jaise flat wood piece) rakh sakte hain jahan female eggs lay kar sake.
Area Cleanliness: Tank mein koi bhi debris ya dirt na ho, taaki eggs safe rahen. Clean water eggs aur fry ke survival ke liye zaroori hai.
Egg Laying (Spawning Process):
Egg laying ke time par female eggs release karti hai, aur male unhe fertilize karta hai. Ye process carefully aur quickly hota hai.
Egg Laying: Female arowana 20-50 large eggs lay karti hai. Ye eggs typically golden-yellow color ke hote hain aur kaafi large hote hain, taaki unke andar developing embryo ka space ho.
Egg Fertilization: Male immediately eggs ko fertilize karta hai. Fertilized eggs high protein aur nutrients se rich hote hain, jo developing fry ke liye zaroori hote hain.
5.Incubation aur Hatching Process :
Arowanas ka unique behavior ye hai ki male fish apne mouth mein eggs ko hold karta hai. Ye process mouthbrooding kehlaata hai, aur ye eggs aur fry ke protection ke liye zaroori hai.
Mouthbrooding: Fertilization ke turant baad, male eggs ko apne mouth mein hold kar leta hai aur incubate karta hai. Is period mein male kuch bhi nahi khaata aur eggs ko saath mein move karta hai.
Incubation Duration: Incubation process typically 50-60 din tak chalti hai, jismein male eggs ko oxygen aur protection provide karta hai.
Protective Nature: Male fish eggs aur fry ko protect karte hue aggressive bhi ho sakta hai aur kisi bhi external threat se unhe bachata hai.
Hatching of the Eggs
Incubation period ke baad eggs hatch hone lagte hain aur small fry male ke mouth mein emerge hote hain.
Hatching Process: Jab embryos ka development complete ho jaata hai, toh eggs crack karte hain aur fry emerge hote hain. Ye fry initially chhote aur yolk sac attached hote hain, jo unhe extra nutrients provide karta hai.
Yolk Sac Absorption: Hatching ke baad fry apne yolk sac se nutrition absorb karte hain, jo unke first few days ke liye food supply hota hai. Ye yolk sac unke growth ke liye essential nutrients se rich hota hai.
Hatch hone ke kuch din baad fry thode independent hone lagte hain aur short swims try karte hain, lekin danger ya threat feel hone par wapas male ke mouth mein chali jaati hain.
Male fry ko external threats aur stress se bachata hai aur unhe wapas mouth mein shelter leta hai agar koi disturbance ya predator aata hai.
6. Fry Ko Separate Karna Aur Raise Karne
Arowana fry (baby arowanas) ko successfully raise karna breeding process ka ek crucial step hai. Jab fry male arowana ke mouth se release ho jaati hain aur independent ban jaati hain, toh unhe alag tank mein shift karna aur unka proper care karna zaroori hai. Fry sensitive hote hain, aur unka growth aur health maintain karne ke liye humein kuch specific steps follow karne padte hain.
Fry Ko Separate Tank Mein Shift Karna
Male arowana fry ko mouth se release karne ke baad unhe grow-out tank mein shift karna recommended hai, jahan wo aur space mein safe tarike se grow kar sakein. Initial stage mein fry ko ek 20-30 gallon tank mein rakha ja sakta hai, lekin jaise-jaise fry grow karte hain, tank ka size badhana zaroori hai. Fry ke liye gentle filtration setup karein, jo unhe fresh oxygen aur clean water provide karein bina strong current create kiye. Low-flow sponge filter ya air-driven filter best hote hain.
Fry ke liye low lighting suitable hoti hai. Direct bright light se avoid karein kyunki ye unke stress aur discomfort ka cause ban sakti hai.
Water Quality Aur Temperature Ka Dhyaan Rakhein:
Fry ki health aur growth ke liye stable aur clean water quality maintain karna bohot zaroori hain.Tank ka temperature 80°F to 82°F (27°C to 28°C) ke beech hona chahiye. Warm temperature fry ke metabolism aur growth mein help karta hai.
Water ka pH level slightly acidic to neutral (6.5-7) hona chahiye. Arowana fry acidic ya extreme pH levels mein stress feel karte hain. Fry ke tank mein water quality high rakhne ke liye weekly 20-25% water change recommended hai, jo unki growth aur health ke liye beneficial hota hai.
Fry Ki Diet Aur Feeding Routine
Arowana fry ka rapid growth ensure karne ke liye unhe high-protein aur nutritious diet dena zaroori hai. Initial Food Options: Fry ke initial stage mein unhe live food, jaise brine shrimp aur daphnia dena best hota hai. Ye food easily digestible aur protein-rich hote hain. Fry ko din mein 3-4 baar chhoti quantities mein feed karein, taaki wo overfeed na ho aur tank clean rahe. Jaise-jaise fry ka size badhta hai, unhe aur options introduce karein jaise crushed pellets, bloodworms, aur small feeder fish. High-quality aur fresh food fry ke rapid growth ke liye essential hai.
Monitoring Growth Aur Health
Fry ki growth aur health ka regular observation zaroori hai, taaki wo proper rate se grow karte rahein aur koi health issues na aaye. Fry mein size difference observe karein. Kabhi-kabhi kuch fry faster grow karte hain aur wo smaller fry ko dominate kar sakte hain. Aise cases mein smaller fry ko separate tank mein shift karna better hota hai.Fry ke swimming behavior, color aur eating habits ko observe karein. Agar koi fry lethargic hai ya uska color dull hai, toh wo stress ya disease ka sign ho sakta hai. Fry mein disease spread hone ka high risk hota hai, isliye tank ka cleanliness aur high-quality food dena disease control mein madad karta hai.
Growth Ke Liye Tank Upgrade
Arowana fry ka growth kaafi fast hota hai, isliye unhe timely larger tank mein shift karna unke comfort aur health ke liye zaroori hai.
Jab fry 3-4 inches ke ho jaate hain, toh unhe larger tank mein shift karna recommended hai. Aap ek 100-150 gallons tank mein fry ko shift kar sakte hain, jahan unhe growth aur swimming space mile.
Fry ke tank mein ek specific compatibility observe karein, kyunki arowanas territorial fish hain aur larger fry aggression dikhate hain. Agar koi fry aggressive behavior dikhaye, toh usse alag rakhna best hai.
