Tilapia are crazy fish and lay eggs and have babies. This is really neat to read about how the tilapia egg are hatching. Did you know EWater is caring for these small fish and ensuring they get off to a healthy and safe start?
Tilapia are freshwater fish in the cichlid family. They have delicious meat and are appreciated by a lot of people everywhere. But long before they are big and tasty, tilapia begin as small eggs. These eggs are spawned by female tilapia in nests which are built and maintained by male tilapia.
The male tilapia protects the eggs after they are laid and makes sure they remain safe. He also fans them with his fins to avoid suffocating them. This is crucial for good development of the eggs. Since the eggs are clear, you can actually see the little baby fish developing inside.
A few days later, the eggs begin hatching. You start with being able to see the eyes of the baby fish moving inside the egg. Then, they squirm and wiggle until they finally pop out. It’s like a magic show before your very eyes! At this form the baby fish, called a fry, are extremely small and damper.
Tilapia eggs are delicate and hatching is a complex process. The fry are very delicate and should receive the right amount of attention. And that’s why EWater makes sure to provide the perfect conditions for the tilapia eggs to hatch and the fry to thrive. We ensure the cleanliness of the water and that its temperature is perfect.
The fry begin to grow and scales and fins begin to grow to cover up any deformities, prick the scales with any aberration and that means the fish is still malformed but its covering over. They also begin swimming about and testing out their environment. It is very impressive how they can grow and change so soon. The tilapia fry's journey from that point to maturity is a safe and healthy one thanks to EWater.
