The Chinese fighting fish with explosive needles is brilliantly colored
Although China is the homeland of Douyu, their status at home is very different from that of foreign countries. Many ornamental fish lovers are dismissive of Chinese fighting fish, and even many wild fighting fish are used as feed fish. This cannot but be said to be a sadness. I sincerely hope that more friends can understand The Chinese Fighting Fish and like the Chinese Fighting Fish.
The appearance of chinese fighting fish caught in the wild
Chinese fighting fish, also known as: forktail fighting fish, rabbit fish, paradise fish and so on. Previously, wild streams, ditches and rice paddies in southern China can be seen everywhere, because its distribution area belongs to the subtropical region, so the Chinese bucket fish can survive well in low water temperatures above 0 °C, and it can grow well in water temperatures above 14 °C. Now due to water pollution, coupled with wild mining, it is almost extinct.
The most amazing thing about the Chinese fighting fish is that it has a special gill upper vessel, which can breathe air directly, even if there is no oxygen in the water, it can also survive, in various places, the name of the fighting fish is various, the name is also very strange, such as heaven fish, bodhisattva fish, Pompeo, fire burner, I don't know, what are you called there?
It can survive in narrow bottles
This fish has a tenacious vitality, when he was a child, he had any rotten river ditches, and he was frozen in a canned bottle in winter for many days, and he could actually live after freezing, but now he rarely sees it.
In the past, Chinese fighting fish were very cheap, because there were many in the fields and streams and ditches, so the amount was more, and the price was cheaper. But now it's different, in the past, it was even sold on the pound, and even used as a feed fish. Now the market for Fighting Fish in China has changed dramatically. Good quality Chinese fighting fish, adult fish, more than 10 centimeters, the price is starting at 50 yuan. It's just a normal forktail. Then, here's the point, some of the more powerful artificially modified varieties, glitter blue, flame fork, snake-striped fork, green fork, and so on. Although they are all subordinate to the Chinese fighting fish system, they are also called native fish. But the price is not a grade. Adult fish are more than 10 centimeters, the price is more than 100 yuan. Fish fry also need a dozen pieces. This is now the market for fighting fish in China. And if the product is good, the end of the tail is burst, and the price is even more different. Why has it changed so much? Because the current environment is very polluted, there are fewer and fewer fighting fish in the wild, and many of the ones circulating on the market are artificially bred. The original national bucket itself has strong genes, and through the efforts of many senior fans of fighting fish, many varieties of excellent pedigree have been improved, which are very rare wealth in the field of native fish.
Improved species of Chinese fighting fish
However, friends who have raised Chinese fighting fish know that this fish will also get sick, and some common diseases of ornamental fish, if not cured, the tenacious Vitality of Chinese Fighting Fish will also die of illness.
Chinese fighting fish is a general term for the four species of fighting fish known in China and Southeast Asia, namely the red and blue forktail fighting fish, the Hong Kong black forktail fighting fish, the Vietnamese black forktail fighting fish and the round-tailed fighting fish, often active in shallow puddles or dense water grass on the shore, beautiful appearance, beautiful color, can be used as an ornamental fish, let's take a look at how chinese fighting fish are raised!
<h1>What species are chinese fighting fish?</h1>
1, round tail bucket fish: round tail bucket fish for the bucket fish genus of the bucket fish family, feeding habits to carnivorous, in the natural environment mainly to rice field pests and widows for food, artificial feeding conditions just hatched out of the juvenile fish to grass crawlers, vinegar worms and other live food as open feed, grow to about 3 cm can accept artificial feed.
2, forktail bucket fish: forktail bucket fish body shape and round tail bucket fish, the abdominal fin has 1 segmented fin specially extended, male fish fin is particularly extended, tail fin fork shape, mostly live in mountain ponds, rice fields and water springs and other shallow water areas, eat invertebrates, breeding period male fish spit foam as a nest, the eggs are gathered in the middle, male fish have the habit of protecting the nest.
<h1> What food does Chinese fighting fish eat?</h1>
1, Fengnian shrimp: Fengnian shrimp is widely distributed in the salt pans or salt lakes on land, for artificially farmed fish and shrimp, the nutritional value is very high. The winter eggs of the harvest shrimp are a very special dormant egg, which can be dried and canned, sold on the shelves in the form of commodities, and can be easily hatched, as a high-quality live bait, the harvest shrimp is widely used in aquaculture.
2, red worms: red worms mostly live in the sludge on the banks of the river basin or at the bottom of the river, dense and sludge surface layer, one end is fixed in the sludge, one end protruding sludge in the water trembling, as soon as it encounters alarm, it immediately retracts back into the sludge. The nutritional value of water earthworms is extremely high, and it should be rinsed repeatedly in clean water before feeding, which is a very favorite bait for goldfish and koi, and it is also the main bait for eel fry and young turtles.
3, bloodworm: bloodworm mainly refers to several kinds of aquatic links with bright red body color of aquatic links, including oligochaetes frilled worms, can be used to raise tropical fish, polychaetes kissing sand silkworm species are sometimes also called bloodworms, some of the aquatic larvae of the genus Of the genus Shake mosquitoes are also called bloodworms.
4, water fleas: water fleas live in fresh water, autumn by the summer eggs hatched a part of the small water flea male, began to reproduce, the eggs laid are called "winter eggs", winter eggs are larger than summer eggs, thicker egg shells, more yolk, fertilized winter eggs are also known as "dormant eggs", through the cold or dry environment, in the following spring when the temperature is higher to develop into a new female, except for a few living in the seawater, mostly the most common zooplankton in various freshwater waters.
<h1>How to raise Chinese fighting fish well?</h1>
1, water quality selection: fighting fish on the temperature requirements are not harsh, generally within 4 ~ 31 ° C can survive, the water temperature is at 24 ~ 27 ° C when the most suitable for its growth, the pH of the water to neutral water is appropriate, pH value of 6.5 ~ 7.2, in the artificial feeding conditions the amount of dissolved oxygen is best maintained at 5 mg / l, in addition to pay attention to the control of some toxins in the water quality content.
2, fish tank selection: there is no special restriction on the container for raising bucket fish, first of all, at the bottom of the fish tank to be covered with a layer of clean thin bottom sand or color sand, on the one hand, it can stabilize the root of the cultivation of aquatic grass, on the other hand, it can provide attachment for microorganisms, and the ratio of water to bottom sand is 5:1. In order to maintain sufficient oxygen in the tank and provide an outside shelter for the fish to hide, aquatic weeds with low CO2 requirements such as goldfish algae and black algae should be appropriately implanted.
3, water quality management: feeding bucket fish only need to use a plastic hose every 3 to 7 days to remove the fecal dirt at the bottom of the tank by siphoning, and pump out about 1/3 of the sewage, inject chlorine-removing tap water to create a clean water quality environment. In the small aquarium because of the lack of power equipment to drive the water cycle, so always pay attention to remove the water surface oil film formed by the residual bait, feces, you can use bamboo chopsticks to clip a water absorbent paper, gently drag on the water surface can be, in addition, should also add some beneficial microorganisms and trace elements according to the water quality situation.
4, bait feeding: bucket fish is an omnivorous carnivorous fish species, so you can feed a variety of bait, try not to let the recipe of the bucket fish is too monotonous, usually artificial drying bait nutrition is complete and clean and hygienic, for most people to feed the bucket fish essential bait. When feeding, it must be rinsed, and each feeding amount can be eaten within 5 minutes, and it can be fed once a day.
5, precautions: Chinese fighting fish is a very lively fish, especially adult fish, in the sudden change of the environment or when frightened, the phenomenon of jumping tank will occur, so when the environment changes, we must pay attention to adding a lid to the fish tank to prevent the tragedy of jumping the tank.
<h1>Prevention and treatment of common diseases of fighting fish in China</h1>
1, mold: almost all are caused by abnormal water quality and temperature, this pathology will be quickly transmitted, so it is necessary to disinfect commonly used utensils and carry out whole tank treatment, with the mold drug sold on the market can be cured quickly, or can be treated with salt bath, but the effect is slower. This disease is very susceptible to infection with fighting fish, if not treated in time, it will quickly cause death.
2, white spot disease: white spot disease is a common disease of tropical fish, not only in the bucket fish, irregular changes in water quality and temperature are easy to cause this disease, characterized by white dots attached to the surface of the body, the initial stage of the disease can increase the water temperature to 30 degrees, or use the A machine blue and also increase the water temperature to 30 degrees, or use salt water bathing and heating also has a good effect.
3, pepper disease: pepper disease is smaller than white spot disease white (or coffee color) dots, dense, like pepper coated with fish appearance symptoms, generally are caused by sudden changes in water quality, the use of salt water bathing can get a good effect.
4, scale disease: scale disease is not easy to cure, this is caused by the deterioration of water quality and infection, the disease is fish scales erected, fish body mucus is secreted in large quantities, treatment must use fungal drugs plus bacterial drugs together treatment, and pay more attention to residual bait and water quality.
5, rotten fin disease: rotten fin disease bucket fish often occur disease, the appearance of like a small hole in the middle of the fin, generally are sudden changes in water quality or poor health status when moving or transporting or fighting caused, the treatment method can use yellow medicine treatment and pay more attention to water quality to avoid secondary infection.
6, ascites: the appearance of abnormal swelling like the stomach, the reason is almost all caused by improper bait and poor water quality, but it may also be caused by parasites in the body, generally starting from the improvement of water quality and changing the bait (reduced feeding), and even temporarily do not feed food, if there is no effect after a while and then use the internal deworming drug, this pathology is often complicated by scales, you must be very patient to treat this symptom.
