Small fish can provide mosquito larvae (red worms), small earthworms, chopped shrimp, etc., while adults can provide fish meat, whole shrimp/shrimp, mussels, loach, etc., and can also be domesticated to eat artificial feed, which is omnivorous.

But the dark god Thunder Dragon should not be fed mammals or poultry meat, such as cow hearts or chicken meat, because some of the lipids in these substances cannot be properly metabolized by fish and may lead to excessive fat deposition and even organ degeneration, so feeding is not recommended.

Similarly, there is no benefit to using "fed" fish (such as live fish or small goldfish), which carry the risk of parasite or disease introduction and are not in any case of higher nutritional value unless properly regulated in advance.

Dorsal fin rays 45-47; fin rays 30-31; Lateral line scale 55-58; Precursor scales 13-15; Scales between the lateral line and the anterior dorsal fin rays3; The lateral line bends abruptly downward at the lateral line scale 17-20; the extromal scales are 5-7;

Thunderstorms are often referred to as "snake heads" because of the larger scales on the head, which are reminiscent of the epidermal scales (head plates) on the head of a snake.

The Dark Thunder Dragon fish are equipped with pairs of auxiliary respirators in the form of bronchial chambers behind and above the gills, which can breathe the atmosphere and survive for a considerable period of time in low-oxygen conditions and even in an anhydrous environment, while in aquariums they are often seen rising to the ground to inhale large amounts of air.

<h1>behavior:</h1>

The Dark God Thunder Dragon loves environments where water flows and for sites full of obstacles, especially dead trees. The black or brown body color of the plum blossom spots covers the entire yellow abdomen, and has a protective and stealth color effect in the obstacle-filled place, waiting for the opportunity to attack small fish or amphibians in front of the swimming in front of them without being noticed.

Juveniles and sub-adults are relatively gentle with each other when polycultured. But it becomes aggressive when polycultured in adulthood. Aggressive and extremely predatory.
