Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of frog breeding, and specifically refers to a novel aquarium for frog breeding and a breeding method. Background Art

[0002] In the past, the breeding methods of ornamental frogs such as the green rain frog and the horned frog could not be integrated in terms of water temperature control and simulated environment. The ability to control the breeding environment was insufficient, and there were many human interference factors, which easily caused the parents to have a stress response, resulting in asynchronous estrus and poor fertilization rate. Therefore, a new aquarium and breeding method for frog breeding are provided to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that the existing breeding methods for frogs cannot be integrated in terms of water temperature control and simulated environment, and the ability to control the breeding environment is insufficient, which easily causes stress responses in the parents, resulting in asynchronous estrus and poor fertilization rate.

[0004] In order to achieve the above functions, the technical scheme adopted by the present invention is as follows: a new type of aquarium for breeding frogs, comprising a bottom plate and a glass tank arranged at the upper end of the bottom plate, a ventilation slot is opened at the upper end of the glass tank, a spray assembly and an adjustable light assembly are arranged opposite to the upper end surface of the glass tank, and an automatic temperature control assembly is arranged on one side wall of the glass tank;

[0005] The spraying device comprises a water tank fixedly mounted on the upper end of the glass cylinder, a water storage rod mounted on one side of the water tank, a water pump for connecting the water tank and the water storage rod, and a nozzle for spraying water is mounted at the lower end of the water storage rod;

[0006] The adjustable light assembly includes a power supply fixedly mounted on the upper end surface of the glass cylinder and located on one side of the ventilation slot and the water tank, and a light source capable of switching the light is provided at the lower end of the power supply;

[0007] The automatic temperature control component comprises a plurality of heating rods and a controller for controlling the activation of the heating rods.

[0008] Furthermore, the water pump output end is connected to a PVC water pipe, the other end of the PVC water pipe is connected to a water storage rod, the spray assembly also includes a guide rod fixedly connected to the lower end of the water storage rod and extending into the glass cylinder, a plurality of water outlets are distributed in an array at the lower end of the guide rod, a shower head is fixedly connected to the lower end of the water outlet, and a plurality of nozzles are ring-connected at the lower end of the shower head.

[0009] Furthermore, the outer wall of the water outlet is fixedly ring-connected with a cover body for blocking water sprayed from the nozzle.

[0010] Furthermore, the cover body is in the shape of a hollow truncated cone, which is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom.

[0011] Furthermore, the adjustable lighting component also includes two buttons relatively fixedly arranged at the upper end of the power supply, the lower end of the power supply is fixedly connected with connecting line one and connecting line two which are respectively connected with the two buttons, an ultraviolet lamp wick and a normal light lamp wick are mirror-fixed inside the light source, and the ultraviolet lamp wick and the normal light lamp wick are respectively connected with connecting line one and connecting line two.

[0012] Furthermore, the adjustable lighting component also includes two buttons relatively fixedly arranged at the upper end of the power supply, the lower end of the power supply is fixedly connected with connecting line one and connecting line two which are respectively connected with the two buttons, an ultraviolet lamp wick and a normal light lamp wick are mirror-fixed inside the light source, and the ultraviolet lamp wick and the normal light lamp wick are respectively connected with connecting line one and connecting line two.

[0013] Furthermore, a timer is provided inside the controller to control the start of the heating rod.

[0014] Furthermore, the water tank is provided with an opening, which can be connected to an external water pipe to replenish water.

[0015] In addition, a breeding method based on a new type of aquarium for frog breeding is provided, and the specific method is as follows:

[0016] S1. Select 2 to 4-year-old male and female parent frogs, and place them in a glass tank (2) at a ratio of 1 male frog to 2-3 female frogs to give birth. Place water plants or water lotus in the glass tank (2), which accounts for about one-third of the water surface;

[0017] S2. Put the estrus agent into the water tank through the opening, and spray the estrus agent onto the body surface of the male and female parent frogs through the water storage rod, the diversion rod, the shower and the nozzle. The suitable temperature for the breeding frogs is in the range of 18-28 degrees. The temperature is precisely controlled by the cooperation of the controller, the signal converter, the thermistor and the heating rod. When the temperature is controlled within the suitable temperature range, the male and female breeding frogs begin to mate and lay eggs;

[0018] S3. After the spawning is completed, open the glass tank and take out the male and female parent frogs. During the incubation period, the water temperature must be maintained between 20-25 degrees. When changing water or trays, if the water temperature suddenly rises or falls by more than 5 degrees or drops below 4 degrees, above 28 degrees or strong shock will cause the frog to die. Therefore, adjust the controller to below 23 degrees, control the heating tube to start heating the water in the glass tank and keep the water temperature between 20 and 25 degrees.

[0019] The beneficial effects achieved by the present invention using the above structure are as follows:

[0020] 1. A spray assembly is provided, which sprays the water containing the estrus agent to the cover body through the nozzle, so that the water flows down due to gravity, simulating the rainfall in the natural environment, and improving the egg-laying rate and fertilization rate of the parent frogs;

[0021] 2. An adjustable lighting component is provided, which controls the activation of the ultraviolet lamp wick and the normal light lamp wick in the light source through two buttons respectively. The ultraviolet light is used for disinfection and sterilization, and the normal light lamp wick simulates the sunlight exposure of the parent frog in its natural state.

[0022] 3. It is equipped with an automatic temperature control component, which controls the intermittent start of the heating rod through the timer in the controller to heat the water in the glass tank, ensuring that the temperature for frog breeding is within the normal range, thereby improving the hatching rate of fertilized eggs.

[0042] This embodiment provides a breeding method based on a new type of aquarium for frog breeding. The specific breeding method is as follows:

[0043] S1. Select 2 to 4-year-old male and female parent frogs, and place them in a glass tank 2 for spawning at a ratio of 1 male frog to 2-3 female frogs. Place water plants or water lotus in the glass tank 2, which accounts for about one-third of the water surface;

[0044] S2. Put the estrus agent into the water tank 7 through the opening, and spray the estrus agent onto the body surface of the male and female parent frogs through the water storage rod 9, the guide rod 13, the shower 18 and the nozzle 19. The suitable temperature for the frogs to hold together is in the range of 18-28 degrees. The temperature is precisely controlled by the cooperation of the controller 3, the signal converter 14, the thermal probe 15 and the heating rod 11. The temperature is controlled within the suitable temperature range, and the male and female frogs begin to hold together and lay eggs;

[0045] S3. After the spawning is completed, open the glass tank 2 and take out the male and female parent frogs. During the incubation period, the water temperature must be maintained between 20-25 degrees. When changing water or changing trays, if the water temperature suddenly rises or falls by more than 5 degrees or the water temperature is lower than 4 degrees, higher than 28 degrees or strong shock will cause the frog to die. For this reason, when the controller 3 is adjusted to below 23 degrees, the heating tube is controlled to start heating the water in the glass tank to keep the water temperature between 20 and 25 degrees.
