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!
After browsing a lot of domestic fierce fish, I aimed at several major foreign fierce fish, and the amount of ends came and went, which can not only meet the requirements of fierce nature, but also achieve the first foreign fierce fish, only the golden river tiger.
The black food series of goby, we mainly appreciate a dull body color or sequins on the body, of course, there are also rouge, yellow diamonds, cingue and other body colors.
And the platinum fierce and golden fierce originating from Africa are still inferior to the body color of the golden river tiger, not so dazzling.
Let's briefly understand, I think the super metallic South American raptor, you can appreciate their ferocious individuals, but also can bring a strong visual impact, the key problem is, raised, you can also eat, haha, this is also no way to do it.
After all, it is rumored that they have a great tendency to flood in the local area, many fishing enthusiasts will go away, the key problem is that their food intake is amazing, the individual is huge, it is estimated that few people can raise them to the extreme, and finally can not be released, so they can only be served on the table.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the origin and main habits of the golden river tiger</h1>
The Golden River Tiger is mainly distributed in the Amazon Basin of South America, scientific name is the large jaw small fat carp, is a fierce predatory fish of the order Lipidoptera, Lipidopterae, and the genus Lipid carp.
Although the family they belong to is translated as small lipid carp, it seems to have a small word, but in fact?
The size of the golden river tiger can not be small at all, in the wild, the golden river tiger body length can reach up to 1.2 meters, as the largest species of the genus, the large female golden river tiger weight can reach more than thirty kilograms, has been called the Amazon River large carnivorous fish, among the freshwater raptors.
The huge body, golden body color and extremely fierce personality make this fish get the reputation of the golden river tiger, which is really a famous fish, they are famous for their origin, and they can also be raised as ornamental fish.
The adapted water quality and water temperature of the Golden River Tiger are no different from other large ornamental fish in the Amazon River, and they are also neutral and weak acid water quality, weak alkali will not have a big problem, the water temperature can grow well above 25 degrees, and these large fierce fish are very skinny.
In addition, according to an aquarist who raises river tigers:
In fact, there are two kinds of river gour on the market, although they are called golden river tigers, in fact, one is native to Brazil, should be counted as red-tailed river tigers, and the other is native to Argentina, which is the authentic golden river tiger.
Most of the things we can buy on the market are Brazilian river goby, Argentina is generally difficult to buy, the most significant difference between the two is that the Brazilian red-tailed river tiger, the fin is red, the tail of the black stripe can extend to the back end of the body, while the Argentine golden river goby fin is yellow, only the tail appears black stripe.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > sharp teeth and a cruel personality, which can cut off prey in an instant</h1>
Although the densely packed fangs in the mouth of the Golden River Tiger don't look as terrifying as other piranhas, they don't seem to be as well-known as the Gopher fish in the ornamental fish world or around the world.
However, with the strong bite force of their well-developed jaws, they still have a terrible destructive force when they bite down on their prey, not only can they easily bite off our fingers, but even cut smaller prey in two, and the wound surface is very straight, as if it is cut off by a kitchen knife.
This is not an exaggeration, these fierce fish can almost easily do this, such as the black water tiger fish I raise, it can easily cut the larger wheat ears directly into two pieces, cut off the tail or half of the body, absolutely to achieve a flat wound, its knife work is still quite good.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > group swimming, cruising is very strong, the need for large water bodies, group culture, not can not be polycultured with other large fish</h1>
Golden River Tigers are very cruising, and they can be seen swimming in the fish tank at any time, according to aquarists, even after the lights are turned off at night.
In addition, unlike some black water-eating tigers, the Golden River Tiger can be bred in groups, and after group breeding, their parade scenes will be more spectacular.
However, if we want to raise a group of these big guys, we have to have a considerable body of water, most aquarists do not have that condition, it is very good to be able to raise one.
There is also that the golden river tiger is not impossible, and its size is similar to other medium and large ornamental fish polyculture, for example, I saw a fish friend mixed the golden river tiger and Brazil, there is no problem, at least not for the time being, as for the river tiger grows up, that is another matter.
However, according to my estimation, since they can be kept in groups, as long as there is little individual difference and sufficient food, it should not be a big problem when they are young, and besides, this fish may jump the tank, remember to raise their fish tank to be covered.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > only if large water bodies are raised, food is sufficient, and there is no repression, they can be more normal hair color</h1>
Regarding the hair color of the golden river tiger, an aquarist described it this way:
At present, there are two views among aquarists who raise golden river tigers.
The first is that no matter how it is raised, the river tiger is not easy to color in the artificial environment, or it is not colored at all.
The other is to provide a large water body, group breeding conditions, the golden river tiger will be after the body length reaches more than 30 centimeters, began to gradually begin to color, and indeed some players, people raise the river tiger normal hair color.
For the above second point of view, I am also more supportive, this depends on the water environment in which we raise them, as long as they meet their needs and remove their psychological repression, it is impossible for this thing not to color.
Just like some aquarists commented on my black food, only more than 20 days can be raised to cruise, the body color is already very good, so the key issue is to provide them with a stable water quality, a stable mentality, and a stable food environment.
As for the issue of polyculture, the aquarist once again emphasized:
At least the Golden River Tiger does not attack other benthic fish, which is reflected in my black food and Mark toast, which means that they are not as famous as other ornamental fish as legendary, and most of them are artificially added to the myths about them.
The aquarist talked again about whether they were aggressive to the ornamental fish in the upper middle class, and here the river tiger was so beaten by other fierce fish that he even destroyed some.
Therefore, we can only be a matter of opinion on this point, and the situation encountered by the two aquarists is completely different.
Because this aquarist finally also talked about it, if you want to polyculture, it is best that we finally put the goby in the fish tank, so that it has a first-come-first-served, so that it will be much more honest, about these things, or don't ask others, the different polyculture experiences of the two aquarists are just a reference.
We need to consider ourselves, according to the different shapes and habits of ornamental fish.
About the food of the river tiger, and other large ornamental fish are the same, we according to the size of different individuals, to choose food on the line, small fish, small shrimp, big fish, prawns, watch and feed it, in short, very edible.
I am a veteran of fish farming, more ornamental fish problems please pay attention, thank you!
