【Foreword】In the process of raising ornamental fish by aquarists, newcomers will always have many problems due to lack of experience, the most common is that ornamental fish are raised and raised one after another.
Ornamental fish are diverse, and beautiful ornamental fish are likely to be delicate and weak, and if we do not feed properly, we may produce diseases, resulting in fish casualties. So, is there an ornamental fish that is both beautiful and physically robust? Of course there is, and that is the beautiful trout that is native to us.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > know the trout, which is a beautiful native fish. </h1>
The trout is a freshwater fish widely distributed in East and Southeast Asia, with a robust physique that is conducive to rearing. At the same time, the body is small, and the body is covered with colorful scales after maturity, which is colorful and colorful. In particular, during the breeding period of male sturgeon, the color on the body will become more gorgeous and moving, which greatly increases the ornamentality of the trout.

The pomfret is a beautiful chinese native ornamental fish that lives around us. It has long lived in clear streams, prefers to swim in groups, and has a very wide range. I believe that many friends have seen it when they play by streams and ponds as children, and even caught it. The sturgeon is flat and tall, and when swimming in the fish tank, it can greatly show its color and beauty.
Although the fry of the trout has not yet appeared in color, and there may be some black spots on the body, as it ages, these black spots will gradually disappear and the colorful colors will follow.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the rearing of trout is simple, after all, it is a native fish. </h1>
The trout can be said to be the best ornamental fish to feed, itself a freshwater fish and a wide range of distribution, so there is not much emphasis on feeding. Even in most parts of the south, fish tanks can survive the winter safely without heating, because the salmon are also normal in the wild. So you only need to pay attention to the following simple precautions to get started well, and you can quickly experience the fun of breeding when the conditions are available.
First, the breeding environment of sturgeon
In the setting of the feeding environment of the sturgeon, there are not too many precautions, and normal fish tank feeding is enough. But if you want to raise a good sturgeon and make its hair color more colorful, you need to spend a little care.
The first is the problem of polyculture. For some ornamental fish, polyculture should be avoided, and can only be fed alone or cannot be polycultured with other fish. However, the trout needs to be polycultured with its own kind, or it can be polycultured with other docile fish. If a single sturgeon enters the tank, it will crash everywhere because of panic, but if it is multiple trout, it will be much bolder, and it can be paraded together to produce a group swimming viewing effect.
This is followed by the substrate at the bottom of the fish tank. For the salmon, one of the important contents of the ornamentation is the pattern and brilliant colors on the body, and this involves the hair color of the salmon. Therefore, in order to facilitate the hair color of the sturgeon, it is generally recommended that the substrate use a dark substrate, which can be conducive to the distribution of color for the sturgeon.
Finally, the fish tank needs to be put into the river mussel or river clam, as for the reason for the placement, it will be explained in detail later on the breeding of the trout.
Second, the feeding of the salmon
The range of ingredients for salmon is relatively broad, meat is not taboo, in general, the ingredients of salmon can be divided into the following three categories.
The first type of food is aquatic weeds and algae. This is an easily available food for the trout and a major food source for the wild sturgeon. Therefore, during our feeding process, it is best to place the fish tank in a place with sunlight, so that the water can grow its own algae, which can be used as food for the trout.
However, excessive sun exposure will flood algae into a whole tank of green water, not to mention that removing algae is a troublesome thing, and the salmon is not ornamental. Therefore, planting some aquatic plants in the fish tank of the salmon can also grow algae to play a feeding role.
The second type of food is dry feed. In addition to artificial fish feed, the rice, noodles, and bread crumbs commonly found in our lives are also the favorites of the salmon. The right amount of feeding can be carried out during the feeding process, which also helps the growth of the trout.
The third type of food is meat. We can also feed the trout some earthworms, red worms, shrimp and other meat food, these meat food, live food for the trout for the salmon both nutritious and stimulate predation, strengthen the body while maintaining native habits. However, pay attention to the handling of food during feeding, for example, if the earthworm can be cut into small pieces, it is more conducive to the feeding of the scorpionfish.
Third, the temperature, light and filtration of the salmon
The temperature at which the trout is suitable for survival is 12 ° C to 28 ° C, it is best not to exceed 30 ° C. Therefore, the temperature space span that the trout can live in is still relatively large, and in the winter, the problem of feeding indoors is not large, which is also an important reason why the sturgeon is conducive to feeding.
In terms of light, outdoor balcony feeding should pay attention to setting up shade nets in the hot summer months, not in direct sunlight. If it is indoors, ordinary lighting is suitable.
The requirements for water quality of the salmon are not high, and some of the specific water quality indicators we often say are basically not used, but after all, they are fed in fish tanks and need to change the water regularly. Of course, if you want cleaner water quality, better ornamental results, and no pain of water replacement, then it is necessary to configure simple filtration equipment.
Fourth, the reproduction of sturgeon
The reproduction of the trout is very interesting, and unlike most fish, it depends on another organism, which is an aquatic organism such as a river mussel or a river clam. They are symbiotic reproductive relationships.
It is now this time, from April to June every year, when the trout spawns. During this period, male and female salmon will look for river mussels, and female salmon will probe their long spawning tubes into the slits of river mussels and then release their eggs into the gill cavity of river mussels. The male sturgeon places sperm around the river mussel, so that as the river mussel breathes, the sperm of the trout enters the gill cavity of the river mussel and completes fertilization.
For petite fish such as trout, it is difficult to ensure the birth of offspring, especially in the wild environment, but this symbiotic breeding method greatly improves the breeding number and survival rate of the trout.
Similarly, the breeding of river mussels will also depend on the salmon, and when the salmon entrusts its children to the river mussels, the river mussels will also hand over their offspring to the salmon. Because the trout vibrates when it swims, the river mussel will discharge its own seedlings and attach them to the trout, so that the offspring of the river mussel will begin to parasitize and parasitize the body of the trout until it matures and falls off.

Many aquarists say that the sturgeon is a boon for novice fish farming, which is true. In contrast, the difficulty of feeding the trout is very low, and the suitable water quality and sufficient food can make the trout live a very happy life. Moreover, the appearance of the salmon is not low, and it was introduced to Europe as an ornamental fish in the 1960s, and even the Emperor of Japan arranged for someone to go to Wuxi in China to find this beautiful fish species. At that time, the sturgeon also earned the reputation of "rainbow fish".
In short, as a native fish, the feeding difficulty and breeding difficulty are not high, not only is it a practice fish suitable for novice ornamental fish to try fish farming, but also a native fish for experienced aquarists to experience the fun of symbiosis and reproduction. With a rainbow of native fish swimming in the pristine fish tank, it's a great feeling!
