Hello aquarists, I am a fish breeder, more ornamental fish breeding, breeding practice knowledge, please pay attention to. Let's raise water simply and raise fish easily!
Many aquarists are very interested in the group swimming of ornamental fish, saying that most of the small ornamental fish, in the case of a relatively wide water environment and a certain depression in the group, they can achieve a good group swimming effect, but if you look for it in medium and large ornamental fish, you generally can't find such a species.
That is to say, it can ensure that we can be relatively simple in breeding, but also can achieve a good group swimming effect, such medium and large ornamental fish are more difficult to find.
In fact, there are really, they can not only achieve a good group travel state, but also group beatings, and the price is not expensive at present, there is basically no problem in the difficulty of feeding, the value is not low, very few diseases, these are its advantages, the only drawback is the problem of food storage.
Their name, many aquarists know, is the red-bellied water tiger, if we can raise a group of adult water goby in a fish tank of one meter to one meter five, the appreciation effect is still very good.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the distribution of origin and basic habits, and the skin is solid and easy to raise</h1>
Many aquarists suggest that the fish farmer raises a group of red-bellied water tigers in the relatively shabby one-meter five-fish tank, I recently also inquired on the Internet, the price is really not expensive, 4 to 5 cm of small red belly, buy ten get five free, only more than a hundred dollars, this size can be raised to live, too small, we try not to buy, the main fear of them are extremely thin, lack of food is too serious, then dare not keep alive.
Red-bellied water tiger is a freshwater fish, Nasturtium carp, distributed in the Amazon Basin of South America in the gentle flow of the water, and the surrounding shallow ponds, lakes, they are popular because of the reputation of piranhas, in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Paraguay, Venezuela and other countries have been found.
It can be said that the coverage of the red-bellied water tiger is extremely extensive, its own habit is to have a strong cluster, they also rely on this cluster, in order to be able to prey and survive in nature, for any food they can ingest, it is obtained by means of group beating.
The number of red-bellied water tigers living in groups in the wild can reach hundreds, or even thousands, gathered together, and the smallest, six can also be grouped.
The water quality of their native areas may not be clear and transparent, for water quality problems, the adaptability of the red-bellied water tiger is very strong, but the weak acidic water quality should be their favorite, the water temperature is maintained at around 25 degrees, they can live well, low points, high points, are not a problem.
For these fierce and brutal fierce fish series, they are basically relatively skinny breeds, and they are rarely sick, so it will be relatively easy to raise.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > staple food still tends to be carnivorous, occasionally omnivorous, because of myopia, so to swim in groups</h1>
The red-bellied water tiger is definitely a carnivorous ornamental fish in our opinion, and it can prey on a variety of fish, shrimp and other aquatic creatures.
However, according to many sources and indigenous peoples, they actually have a certain omnivorous nature.
Red-bellied water tigers mainly use their sense of smell, and water ripple vibrations to find their own targets, because their eyesight is poor, they belong to the natural myopia, so they are very gregarious, once a companion finds the target, even if it is a fake news, as long as it randomly makes a predatory movement, other partners will immediately flock to it, afraid that they will not be able to grab the box lunch, if it is a lie to report military information, everyone will scatter...
Is this behavior somewhat similar to that of us humans? As long as there is one person there suddenly looking at the sky stupidly, everyone else is watching, and finally no one knows what they are watching.
Because for this group of myopic eyes, it may be difficult for them to find distant targets in time, find that their partners around them have any movements, and go with the flow to make attacks, they are very easy to manipulate, which is the real reason why they can travel in groups.
Of course, as a red-bellied water tiger with a maximum body length of only 30 centimeters, there will be many natural enemies in the huge Amazon basin, and living in groups will be more conducive to their hedging.
The legend and ferocity and bloodlust of the red-bellied goby have been introduced in my other articles, and there is no need to repeat it, they are not as evil and magical as the legend, especially the artificially farmed breeds.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > pay attention to relieving psychological depression problems, you can raise them well</h1>
It is not difficult to raise a group of red-bellied water tigers in the fish tank, the key problem is how to avoid their psychological depression, because once there is a psychological depression problem, such as white spot disease, blindfold disease, enteritis and other problems, it will occur, which is the first thing we need to pay attention to.
That is to say, fish tanks can not be space, pay attention to the number of feeding them.
It is recommended that if you raise fry, first raise from the small fish tank, rather than directly stuffing 20 small water tigers directly into a large fish tank of one meter and five meters, then, they spend all day in fear, there will be no state, their courage, is to rely on the group to grow, we must be clear.
If I want to raise, for example, buy ten free five, four or five centimeters of small water tiger fry, can only be temporarily raised in the 80 cm fish tank, as they grow up, we will replace the fish tank, so that they can achieve the best state, there is no fear, convulsions, jumping tank, crash tank problems.
Another is that the fish tank can not have to create landscaping, especially to place some dodge objects, they will hide more and more afraid, there is no state for a long time, wait until they are cooked, and then add a sinking wood is not impossible, just as the black food I raised, into the tank for nearly a month, I put the pot of aquatic grass into it, this is the truth.
Of course, the lights do not have to be too bright, if they want their hair color to be close to perfect, then the overall background of the fish tank does not have to be too bright, so that their red bellies will be more colorful.
There are also aquarists who will do the opposite, that is, in the small fry stage, they have not yet developed color, they can be raised on a white background, a little more, can increase their guts, grow up into the big fish tank, take re-landscape and replace the dark background.
These things depend on us personally, how to go according to the habits and states of our own ornamental fish, to come and go appropriately regulated, in fact, how to play, everything depends on the state and reaction of the fish, and then they are not very fond of tossing and liking new water species.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the last point, choose fish, physique first</h1>
The last point is about the physical problem of the red ascite tiger we bought, at present, the red ascite water tiger is relying on the hype of the water goby and stained with a little light, the previous sale of the red ascite water tiger, the physique is extremely poor, basically can not feed, because the price is too cheap, ten centimeters of a red belly, the wholesale price is only 3 yuan, and no one knows the goods.
Now due to the soaring value of the goby, although the red-bellied water tiger as the lowest grade of the practice of the goby, but compared to before, or can attract the attention of the merchant, relatively speaking, in the physique has been enhanced, although the price has increased, this is not necessarily a bad thing, too cheap, buy home directly hang up, how to feed also can not live, what is the meaning?
Therefore, when we choose fish, we have to stare at the eyes, and after entering the tank, we must be gradual in feeding, first stabilize the mood, and then slowly eat, live fish worms, red worms, delicious small fish and shrimp, can be fed, do not feed too much at one time.
Once they ease up, it will be raised, unless it encounters an accident or feeding too untimely internal friction, general, basically no disease can be cured, what salt to buy, fish medicine, ah, can be thrown away directly.
In fact, among many goby fish, the appearance of the red belly is not low, but because it can be artificially bred, it has become the lowest grade of goby, which does not affect our viewing and feeding, as for the food storage and whether it can be bitten, it depends on how we personally operate.
Of course, I am referring here to the cheapest red ascite tiger, that is, the previous kind of sika deer, in fact, the current red belly, there is more than one variety, there are also slightly more expensive, this article is not all red belly.
I am a veteran of fish farming, more ornamental fish problems please pay attention, thank you!
