Frai

Act and period of reproduction in fish; Also said, freshly laid eggs and just born fry.

The term "frai" is used in aquarophilia to describe the fish reproduction process. This is the period during which fish lay their eggs and fertilize them. This can happen in different ways depending on the species of fish and their mode of reproduction.

Among the fish that tend to spawn, we can cite cichlids, guppys, mollys, bearded, tetras and ancistrus. All these fish are able to reproduce in a relatively easy aquarium way, but each species has its own requirements in terms of reproductive conditions.

When the fish are ready to spawn, they usually start by mating. For this, the males and the females put themselves side by side and turn their backs. The male can then release his sperm on the back of the female, who collects him in his genital bladder. The female can then lay her eggs on a flat surface, such as a plant sheet or a glass plate, where they will be fertilized by the sperm of the male.

It is important to note that the FRAI is not always easy to make in aquarium. Certain species of fish are more difficult to reproduce than others, and it may be necessary to provide a suitable habitat and living conditions to promote reproduction. You also have to pay attention to the needs of fish during the Frai period, and ensure that they are properly nourished and protected from predators.

Once the eggs are laid and fertilized, they generally hatch after a few days. Nasing fry are then very fragile and must be protected from adults and other potential predators. They need a habitat and food adapted to their size and development stage. If all these conditions are met, it is possible to succeed in making fish in aquarium and seeing the fry grow and develop.
