Doghead fish
Doghead fish, also known as fork-nosed pufferfish, there are many kinds, mainly including: black-spotted fork-nosed pufferfish, star-spotted fork-nosed pufferfish, map fork-nosed pufferfish, zebra fork-nosed pufferfish, white-spotted fork-nosed pufferfish, Philippine fork-nosed pufferfish and so on. Distributed in the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean coral reefs, omnivorous, can be fed algae, animal food and artificial feed, suitable for water temperature of 26 degrees, sea water specific gravity of 1.022, water volume of more than 400 liters of aquarium tank, the maximum body length of up to 40 cm.
The way the doghead swims is also very interesting, you can complete the fixed point stop, in situ rotation, vertical climb and other actions in the water like a helicopter, which has a very high ornamental value, the difficulty of breeding is not high, and it is very popular with fish lovers. There are aquarists to consult the breeding of doghead fish, Xiaobian is here for everyone to sort out the following doghead breeding skills Oh! Hope that helps.
One
Feeding
Feeding, it is recommended to go to the market to buy some fresh river shrimp, and then go to the tail (the head of the river shrimp has a gun thorn so to go to the head) flat in the freezer layer of the refrigerator frozen (each is separated from the point distance), so it is convenient to feed later, each feeding is fed with the original tank of hydration, 2-3 times a day, if you freeze into a lump, feeding is very troublesome, it is not recommended to feed live food, loach, small fish or whatever, mainly afraid of sending, if you want to change the taste appropriately to raise some apple snails, dog head likes to eat, you can also grind teeth, Apple snails are very good to raise and are easy to burst.
Two
polyculture
Zebra doghead fish, although this personality is particularly affectionate, but in the end it is still very fierce, not like other looks fierce, in fact, it is still easy to mix. For zebra doghead fish to be kept as early as possible to avoid bites, but it has been observed that the mixed breeding of zebra doghead fish as a child is still very interesting. (That would be zebra doghead fish that don't have teeth yet).)
Crown doghead fish, this price is expensive, certainly at first glance is the object of abandonment, but this is said to look very fierce, in fact, very good and easy to mix a kind, can and large fish, to meet the size of the almost large can be polyculture. But for this kind of childhood, it is best not to carry out polyculture, and to carry out polyculture when it is older.
Three
water
1. Water quality
Captive tropical fish require water quality to be soft or low hardness water, and the pH is weakly acidic or neutral. Strong acidity, tropical fish breathing difficulties, slow growth; It is more alkaline, and the gill tissue of tropical fish will be corroded.
2. Change the water
(1) Partial water change is to use a straw to suck out the feces, residual bait and other dirt at the bottom of the fish tank. The water absorption should be 1/4 of the water volume in the tank. Then, add the same amount, the same temperature of the new water that has been dried or chemically removed from chlorine. The number of times to mix water is twice a week in autumn and winter, and 3 times a week in spring and summer.
(2) All water changes should take out all the equipment in the fish tank, fish out the aquatic grass and fish, put it in other containers at the same temperature as the raw water, and scrub the cylinder wall and the bottom of the tank with a sponge. Change the water once every 3 months to 4 months.
Four
water temperature
Tropical fish are extremely sensitive to temperature and can die quickly if the temperature is not suitable. Different species of tropical fish have different requirements for water temperature. The water temperature of most tropical fish is 20 °C ~ 24 °C, the water temperature during the breeding period is 25 ° C ~ 28 °C, and the temperature difference between day and night should not exceed 4 °C.
Five
oxygen
A certain amount of aquatic weeds should be planted in the fish tank, because the oxygen content in the water is increased when aquatic plants photosynthesis. At the same time, timely removal of dirt, frequent water changes, etc., can also increase dissolved oxygen in water.
Six
illumination
In the room with sunlight to place the fish tank, it is best to receive about 1 hour of sunlight in the morning and evening when the sun is insufficient; if the fish tank is placed in a room without sunlight, the light should be used to illuminate the aquatic weeds, and the 60-watt incandescent bulb or 40-watt fluorescent lamp is illuminated for 6 hours a day. Light can make tropical fish grow faster and make the fish body more colorful.
Seven
Stocking
Tropical fish are cultured in tanks, and the stocking density depends on the size of the tanks. For first-time fish farmers, the smaller the density, the better, and an inflatable pump needs to be added. For the collocation of fish in the same tank, Wen Jing's fish cannot be polycultured with offensive fish; Large fish cannot be polycultured with small fish. There are a variety of options for tropical fish feeds, such as fish worms, red worms or packaged feeds suitable for different species of tropical fish. Raw bait and live bait should be washed to control the source of the disease.
