The light fish is now the most used fish in aquatic grass landscaping, mainly used to simulate the tropical rainforest style, and because of its small size and the characteristics of group swimming, it has added a touch of agility to the aquatic weed tank, which has become the best choice for many players, and its color is brilliant and colorful, often flashing light, very beautiful, with certain ornamental value.
First, the origin of the lamp fish
The lanternfish was first produced in the Amazon River area of South America, and in recent years, with the need to simulate the tropical rainforest style in aquatic grass landscaping, it has become the darling of the aquatic weed tank, and has been from the Netherlands to the mainland, becoming an important protagonist in the current aquatic weed landscape.
Second, the type of lamp fish

2. Whether the color is uniform throughout the body;
3. Whether the fish's body is even.
Fourth, the best temperature for raising lamp fish
General lamp fish adapt to the temperature between 22-28 ° C can be raised, and do not need to say as strict as the book said, is to maintain the temperature in a certain range to raise a good lamp fish is not difficult, but in the water change should remember to change the water temperature in the grass tank to be consistent, the temperature difference is too large, in the winter then you can use the heating rod to maintain the temperature, as for the summer can use chillers, fans or ice cubes to maintain the temperature, at the same time, because the lamp fish is social cultured, in the summer to pay attention to whether there is a floating head phenomenon, the temperature rises, The amount of dissolved oxygen in the water will be reduced, which will cause hypoxia in the fish, and if necessary, the amount of CO2 can be reduced or oxygen can be used.
Fifth, the water quality requirements for raising lamp fish
