Gobies have always been the favorite pets of native fish lovers, they are fierce, aggressive, and prey on black shell shrimp, the larger Ziling kiss goby even go to prey on small fish, but they mainly feed on shrimp, hence the name goby. The body color of gobies is relatively variable in the original family, but generally only red, yellow, or gray and other colors are not so bright. Are there any more colorful shrimp tigers? Of course, today I will take you to know another kind of algae-eating goby - the branch shrimp tiger.
He does not eat shrimp, does not eat fish, but eats algae, so he can also act as a fish tank scavenger. Their mouths are more peculiarly structured, they can extend into a suction cup, and then on the rock with attached algae, they have been sucking, grinding, and nibbling, which is their way of feeding. If there is patch feed in the house, the branches will also eat it. Although they are vegetarians, they still fight and fight for territory, and they show no weakness to powerful invaders. Their body color is more vivid, and the branch we are most familiar with should be the electric branch, and he has a horizontal blue band on his body, glowing like lightning. The distribution area of this shrimp tiger is not very extensive, and they can only be seen in deserted, unpolluted streams, but their escape speed can be comparable to lightning, which should be part of the reason for the name of the electric light branch. However, the electric light branch is relatively difficult to raise, you can start from the blue-faced branch, he is the best branch of the shrimp tiger. Let's discuss with you the problem of raising facial branches.
<h2 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > environment is the most important! </h2>
The branches and tigers live in places where there is a water flow, and the water flow is not very slow, so the wave pump must not be less. Of course, the environment must have a lot of algae growing. Generally, it is not so difficult to raise branches and tigers in the tank with exploded algae. If the branches do not eat the feed, then they will instinctively eat algae, so that they will not be hungry or even starving to death. The environment is best to add bottom sand, the landscaping is slightly more complicated, give them space to hide, you can put some longan leaves, rhododendron roots, longan branches, let them sneak around inside. If the branches are insecure, then he will not show a dazzling blue at all, but a lifeless black to avoid the hunters from finding them.
<h2 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > branch is also a cold-water fish. </h2>
The goby is also a native Chinese fish and does not like too high water temperatures. Generally between 18 degrees and 27 degrees, the temperature difference should not change too much, and the branches are also prone to white spot disease.
<h2 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > polyculture problem. </h2>
It is best to put more of the same kind of tiger in the maintenance of branches. 1. You can see the interesting scene when they fight for turf, they will fight around, and the cylinder will be very lively. 2. There are many kinds of people, they will have a sense of territory, and their body color will also be invisibly improved, which is to scare away the invaders, or warn the other party to stay away from themselves. Of course, they are more secure than the same kind, just like people, a lonely person in the wilderness is no better than in a lively home.
Then there are some fish that do not have strong aggression, the branches are relatively weak in personality, easy to be bullied by those fish, such as horsemouth fish, he can not only bite the fish, even the branches will not be easily let go. You can mix some mackerel, mackerel, small mackerel, mackerel, these fish are not very fierce, can give the branches as sandbags, but also will not attack the branches.
It is not difficult to maintain the blue-faced branches in fact, and if you raise the blue-faced branches, you can try other varieties, such as electric light.
