dermogeny_2

The dermogeny is a tropical fish in the family Dermogenidae of the order Datura. The Delmogeny originates from Thailand and Malaysia in Southeast Asia. The body color of the dermogeny is a silver metallic color with a glossy sheen. This luster is caused by the presence of luminous bacteria living on the surface of the body. The most distinctive feature of the dermogeny is its long, slender body and long, slender mouth, like that of the saltwater fish Sayori (daylily).This distinctive appearance makes it a very popular species. The dermogeny is also well known as a fish that often jumps out of aquariums, so we recommend using glass lids or other measures to prevent it from flying out when keeping it.

How to keep Dermogeny

Dermogeny will be an easy breed to keep. The lifespan of a dermogeny is approximately 1-2 years. Its body size is approximately 5 to 7 cm. However, both lifespan and body size vary depending on the environment in which they are kept and the food they are fed. They prefer slightly alkaline to neutral water quality, with a pH range of 6.5 to 8.0. Dermogenys are classified as a tropical fish, so if you keep them in Japan, you will need a heater in winter.

Points to keep in mind when mixing swimmers

dermogeny_3

Regarding mixed swimming, Delmogeny have a mild temperament. Therefore, if the breed you put them in with is territorial or aggressive, the Delmogeny may be beaten up, and they may get injured or become sick due to stress.Basically, dermogenys are mild-mannered, but territorial disputes between dermogenys may occur on rare occasions, so please take measures to prevent this by adding more water plants to create a hiding place. Recommended species for mixing with the dermogeny are small fish such as neon tetras and other calasines and red fins. However, since Delmogenys are slow swimmers, depending on the species you choose to mix with them, they may not be able to eat food properly, so make sure they are eating properly when you feed them.

Points about spawning

Many people who keep dermogenys want to breed them. To distinguish between male and female dermogenys, compare their tail fins. Males have a stepped tail and are relatively small in size. Females, on the other hand, have rectangular-shaped rumps and larger rumps than males.The male's rump is smaller because it has a reproductive organ called a gonopodium. Dermogenys reproduce in an ovoviviparous state, the same as guppies and other species. In general, tropical fish lay eggs in water plants and hatch from the eggs, but the Dermogeny is an ovoviviparous species, meaning that the eggs hatch in the female's body and the fry are born as fry. Therefore, the eggs are not eaten by other tropical fish, and breeding is relatively easy in many cases. As breeding nears, the female's abdomen grows larger, so it is recommended that you isolate her in a separate tank or other location for breeding. If the fry have spawned and are born without you noticing, move only the fry to a separate tank or other aquarium for breeding.

The Delmogeny is a popular species because of its silver metallic coloration and shiny body color, as well as its distinctive appearance with its long, slender body and long, slender mouth. The most important point to keep in mind when breeding the Dermogeny is that it jumps.It is common for them to fly out the moment the glass lid is removed to feed them. Therefore, please make sure that you have a lid or netting in place to prevent them from jumping out. If you are interested in Dermogeny, we recommend that you take a look at it at a specialty store.
