| Popis: | Hyphessobrycon eques has a great prominence in fishkeeping and scientific research. In this context, a systematic literature review was performed to assist in the improvement of captive breeding of this species and to identify knowledge gaps. Notably, of the 966 articles published between 1997 and 2020 found in an initial screening of the digital libraries of Google Scholar, PubMed, SciELO, Science Direct, and Scopus, only 56 represented research on the species according to the established criteria. Considering aspects pertinent to captive reproduction, 25 studies were selected. These studies addressed information regarding reproduction; embryonic, larval, and juvenile development of the species; parasitic fauna; limiting concentrations of prophylactic agents; food preferences; and dietary supplements already used for these fish. Only seven studies reported information on the physicochemical characteristics of water in natural habitats, with great variations in several parameters, mainly those related to temperature. In 5 of the 25 selected studies, information related to reproductive characteristics and/or embryonic, larval, and juvenile development was addressed. However, only two studies developed experimental studies with information relevant to the captive breeding of the species. Studies to identify parasitic fauna and to analyze the use of prophylactic agents were also found. As for the information gaps on the cultivation of the species, there are no studies related to nutrition seeking to determine the species nutritional needs, including feeding frequencies, feeding durations, and specific amounts of food. Therefore, this review offers a great support for the breeding of H. eques by highlighting opportunities for new scientific studies that could enrich and collaborate in the breeding of this ornamental fish. |
