Traffic lights have always been a common fish species in China's ornamental market. As long as the water weed tank is mentioned, everyone can think of traffic lights. Among the lamp fish, there are more beautiful and interesting fish species that people yearn for. Recently I've collected several kinds of lightfish recommended by aquarists, each with its own charm.

Traffic lights were the first light fish I came into contact with. It was discovered in 1936 and sold sky-high prices in Europe. Nowadays, the traffic lights are still traffic lights, but they are especially easy to buy now.
The traffic light can grow to 3-4 cm, it is relatively thin, the color is bright, and the green light on the upper part can also be slowly changed according to the change of light and angle, sometimes appearing blue. This blue (green) contrasts sharply with the inherent red color of the abdomen, and the visual effect is super good.

Traffic lights are suitable for living in warm waters, and all aspects can be configured according to the basic standards of Tropical Fish in South America. The temperature is adjusted at about 26 degrees Celsius, and there can be fluctuations of 2 degrees Celsius. The pH is neutral partial acid, and the specific value is 5-7. It is especially important to note that traffic lights like old water, so pay special attention to this when raising, it is said that many aquarists have fallen on it.
Pauline lamp

Pauline lamps are similar in color to traffic lights, but the proportion of color is different. The upper body of the Pauline Lamp is mainly green, and the lower part is red except for the fins. Red and green two ribbons up and down, from the eye to the tail handle, although the color impact effect is better, but compared with the traffic lights less transparent, so that the actual viewing effect is also significantly different from the traffic lights.
The body shape of the Pauline lamp can grow to 4-5 cm, which is a little larger than the traffic light, the basic water quality is the same as the traffic light, and the water temperature of 24-28 ° C is 5-7 pH.

The overall feeding difficulty of Pauline lamp is similar to that of traffic lights, and recently watched the forum found that some aquarists said that Pauline lamps are not easy to raise, in fact, the difficulty of raising this fish is not as high as imagined, as long as the early stage of entering the tank to maintain good water quality, it will be much easier to raise. Of course, no matter what kind of fish you raise, there is loss, and it is difficult to think of not dying.
Rainbow Dragonfly Lamp
The rainbow dragonfly lamp fish is still an ornamental fish from South America, and its water quality requirements are basically the same as those of the two brothers above. However, the size of this fish is obviously larger, up to 10 cm long, and it is not suitable for too small fish tank culture.
The rainbow dragonfly lamp has a faint green color and a side band with red and blue lines. Bright and beautiful overall. Although its color is not as impactful as the Pauline lamp, its color markings are more textured and look more dignified.

Rainbow dragonfly lamp is relatively rare, the price is also high, about 80 yuan a piece of online sales, interested friends can start. However, it is said that it is not picky eaters, eating both fish food and aquatic plants and algae, so friends who have aquatic plants in the fish tank should pay special attention to this.

The appearance of every excellent ornamental fish will make the world's aquarists excited. The home of the neon swallow lantern is southeast of the island of New Guinea, a place that was baptized by the guns of World War II, and many species disappeared due to the war. It wasn't until fifteen years later that neon swallow lights were discovered by accident. At that time, people were very interested in this small fish, and they wanted to get one in various ways. The popularity at the time may be somewhat similar to the traffic lights that have just entered the circle.
Neon swallow is a tropical fish, the temperature requirements are still between 24-28 ° C, and the pH is more alkaline, about 7-8, we are best not to mix him with acid-loving ornamental fish when choosing fish.
The body shape of the neon swallow is similar to that of the Pauline lamp, which is 4-5 cm, and the body surface is dominated by yellow-green, the body color is blue, red, yellow, black, white and other colors, the head is small and the eyes are large, and the recognition is high. The body color of the neon swallow is similar to the feeling of the rainbow dragonfly lamp, both are light and elegant with one or two points of heavy color. Although the contrast between strength and weakness is not strong, it looks comfortable and layered. However, most of the neon swallows we see are varieties launched by domestic farms, and the ornamental effect will be discounted, and the visual effect of individuals is more obvious from that of foreign countries.
Neon swallow has a gentle personality and can be mixed, but the hair color is a bit difficult, and it likes to jump the cylinder, which is not suitable for novices. And once it is well raised, it will be more and more durable.
The advantage of small fish is that it occupies less space, the cost is low, and the investment is small. In the next issue, we will continue to share five kinds of beautiful light fish, and friends who want to know about other ornamental fish can also leave a message.
