The Ichimeido mermaid has a mild temperament and prefers to move in the middle part of the water body, and the Ichimeido mermaid in the wild state especially likes to move in the lower part of the river where the bottom bed is covered with sediment. Although the Ichimei people are relatively timid, their group habits are very strong, and they are particularly lively during the day when the sun is full, and they can be raised with some other fish with the same temperament. This is very similar to the moonlight fish.
Feeding methods
Especially suitable for grass tanks, high oxygen consumption, when feeding must ensure that the aquarium contains sufficient oxygen, not picky eaters, can be fed live, dry feed, flakes and so on.
Pick notes
First, the Ichimei Dao mermaid mainly comes from imports, and can only be purchased after a long journey to fix the water, otherwise once the fish are bought home and die unsuitable, the final loss will have to be borne by themselves.
Second, see whether the color is gorgeous, whether the swimming speed is normal, whether it swims in groups, whether it actively grabs food, whether the body shape is normal, and whether there are wounds on the surface of the body.
Third, the bought back a meidao mermaid together with the packaging into a container in a new tank to soak, wait for half an hour after the internal and external water temperature is about the same, and then the water in the bag and the water in the container mixed, the whole process is about 30 to 60 minutes, in addition to the container need to be covered to prevent the new fish from jumping the tank. Finally, if there is no problem, you can fish the new fish into the tank, turn off the lights, and let the new fish adapt to the new environment.
Origin
Born in the streams of western India, The Ichimeipus denisonii is a rare small species of carp in the family Cyprinidae, with adults ranging in length from 12 to 15 cm. This beautiful carp officially landed in the aquarium world in 1997 through the Aquarium Exhibition. At the end of 2003, it made its first appearance in the aquarium market in Hong Kong, China, and with its dazzling body color collocation and unique living habits, it still maintains a strong popularity so far. The length and brilliance of the Ichimei Daoist make him irreplaceable the protagonist of the large grass tank, which is what was missing before. Flying fox, which also shows his similar feeding habits to the grass tank special cleaning hand black line flying fox Crossocheilos siamensis, that is, clean algae. This characteristic has also become one of the important conditions for a meme Daoist to be the protagonist of the straw tank. However, the kinship between the Ichimei and the haddock flying fox is limited to the same subfamility, and the Ichimeidao belongs to the genus Puntius, while the haddock flying fox is the Crosocheilos spike-lipped catfish genus.
history
1. In 1997, it officially landed in the aquarium industry through the aquarium exhibition, and officially appeared in the aquarium market of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region at the end of 2003.
2. Most of the individuals that appear in China are wild varieties. There is already a fishery in Southeast Asia that is breeding, but because the fishery controls the females and the reproduction of the fish is very small, we can only see the males and not the females. As for its high price, presumably the small output is the main reason.
3, usually hear that the breeder has two voices about the experience of raising the fish: difficult to raise and very good to raise. In fact, the variety does not have too high requirements for water quality and temperature, and it is a variety that is quite easy to raise. The reason why it is difficult to raise, I believe it should be the merchant in the case of not yet stable to sell, although as a strong carp, but in the long-distance transportation is shaped like a Pauline lamp, the import of stable is quite stable, unstable and then rely on your medication, it is difficult to ensure survival, it will be in the case that you can not see any symptoms, one or even several a day gradually die.
As a pet fish, the Ichimei Daoist first appeared in aquariums in Britain, when the scientific name was Barbaus denisonii., which was expensive due to the availability of strange goods.
This beautiful carp officially landed in the aquarium industry through the Aquarium Exhibition in 1997 and was officially unveiled in the aquarium market in the Hong Kong Sar at the end of 2003. After the listing, yimei Daoren quickly swept the world aquarium market with its dazzling body color collocation and unique living habits, and was widely welcomed by aquarium enthusiasts.
Artificial breeding
Artificial reproduction is more difficult, but some countries in Southeast Asia have successfully completed artificial breeding. The price of an eyebrow Daoist in infancy is between 7-10 yuan, while the price of a long-formed one-eyebrow Daoist is 10-15 yuan.
Fry can be fed after 4 days with freshly hatched artemia shrimp. After two weeks, you can start feeding the fry with water fleas (Daphnia). However, due to the small mouth crack of the fry, the size of the water fleas should be very exquisite, and it is necessary to use a filter to separate the small water fleas from the large ones, and only use the small ones to feed. But don't waste the big ones, you can use them as seeds to maintain the supply of small water fleas. As long as the larger fleas left after sifting are placed in a large tank, added to the water in a breeding tank and placed under the sun, the breeding fish excrement is used to provide nutrients for the water lice to continue to reproduce. If needed, a little yeast used to bake pastries can also be added to feed these fleas.
When the fish are about a month old, they can start feeding them with the silk earthworm (Tubifex) and the previously larger water fleas, or even the adult shrimp of the harvest. From this stage onwards, because of the diversification of food, the growth rate of small fish begins to accelerate. In addition to the handling of the food, Mr. Muyati also revealed to us some details that need attention at different feeding stages. The most important thing is that there needs to be coherent in the conversion of food, that is, when changing the new bait, the previous food cannot be interrupted immediately, so as not to starve the small fish due to inadaptability.
Distinguish between wild and artificial
First: The dorsal fin of the wild one-eyebrow Daoist small fish stage is red, and the artificial small one-eyebrow Daoist is black and not red.
Second: Wild one-eyebrow Daoists have yellow dots on their tails when they reach adulthood, and artificial fish have white dots.
Third: Wild adults are slender, and artificial fish are short and fat.
Fourth: The red eyebrows of wild one-eyebrow People are pulled all the way to the dorsal fin, and the color is more intense than that of artificial fish, and artificial fish are the opposite.
