Friends who play with native fish, I believe that gobies are no strangers, right? He is a kind of native fish that is very well fed, but not good at raising hair color. Some friends even caught goby from the wild have good hair color and fade soon after they arrive home. If you can raise gobies for hair color, then it is not difficult to believe that other ornamental fish are not difficult for everyone.
<h1>Raising gobies is not a difficult task</h1>
Gobies are very common, the most common in the stream is the Ziling kiss goby, raising gobies is not a difficult thing, pay attention to the following points.
Simulates a native environment
No matter what kind of fish you raise, it is best to make the fish tank imitate his native environment! We said this in our previous article on loach sucking. Gobies like also a stream-type environment, you can get a wave pump to simulate the current of the native environment, which can increase the activity of gobies, naturally it will be better, of course, indispensable to sufficient oxygen, Chinese native fish are more oxygen-consuming. Gobies like to live in rocks, and he has a habit of punching holes, so if he wants gobies to be colored, it must be indispensable to stones and bottom sand. Gobies will choose their favorite territory, make a hole there, and then establish a sense of territory, other gobies may break in and fight, but it doesn't matter, generally there will be no big problems, (provided that the size difference is not too large) This is a good opportunity to cultivate gobies wild!
Try to provide live food
Gobies are particularly fierce, like to eat black shell shrimp, and even go to eat other small fish when hungry. Therefore, providing live food can also improve the wild nature of gobies. For example, you can put black shell shrimp in the fish tank to let it hunt freely, or feed live red worms, of course, frozen red worms are no problem. I recommend feeding black shell shrimp, which contains astaxanthin, which is conducive to the hair color of gobies. And the black shell shrimp is alive and will run around, which will make the gobies chase. And sometimes with their companions for a shrimp two fish fight, slowly, gobies began to show the color it should have.
The water temperature cannot be too high
Gobies are also cold-water fish, and he cannot make the water temperature exceed thirty degrees, preferably between 25-28 degrees, which can avoid the phenomenon of gobies fading or even dying. But you can't let the water freeze in winter, otherwise you will freeze to death. It is best to put a heating rod in the winter, if the house is warm, it is not used, mainly relying on personal circumstances to judge. You can put a fish tank special thermometer in the fish tank, which is more intuitive.
Polyculture problems
Gobies can be polycultured, such as some cold-water fish that are not powerful and aggressive, such as trout, small mackerel, sucker loach, small loach and other cold-water fish, and different species of shrimp and tigers can also be polycultured, but the size gap must not be too large, otherwise the larger side may swallow the other smaller side of the shrimp tiger. Note that if you have cold-water fish, tropical fish and cold-water fish, the temperature that you can generally adapt to is not the same! Therefore, you should choose the "door-to-door" cold-water fish polyculture, so that the two can be compatible. Although gobies say that the territorial awareness will be relatively strong, but in general, there will be no phenomenon of biting dead fish, as long as there is something to fill the stomach, generally will not take care of other fish, so rest assured that polyculture, but it must be cold water fish.
After a long time of raising gobys, you will find a magical phenomenon, watching two gobies "roaring in the sky", which is called a roar. Gobies that do not roar have no soul, and roaring is a special sign of the state of cultivation of gobies, other fish generally do not. He was demonstrating. When other shrimp tigers break into his territory, the two of them will start to roar, and then spread the fins of the fish, and the appearance and state will explode! After that, if the invaders do not go, the two fish will begin a fierce fight, and the weaker side will have to move to other places. This is the charm of raising goby, good interactivity, and explosive appearance!
To sum up, if you want to raise goby well, you should provide him with the most primitive environment, the feeding water body can not be too small, and feeding live feed is conducive to hair color! Raising gobies well, and then using the habit of raising gobies to raise other ornamental fish, there will be unexpected results.
