When we went to the aquarium market, the traffic light fish was one of the most common small tropical fish. Traffic light fish because of the colorful and beautiful, red, blue and white staggered, petite size, like group swimming, and the price is cheap (Shenzhen aquarium market is about 1-1.5 yuan / strip), so it is deeply liked by fish lovers, but the traffic light fish is cheap, but it is not easy to raise, and can not be naturally bred in the family environment, so raising this fish is still quite brain-burning, perhaps there are some fish farmers to refute, think that the traffic light is very good to raise ah, so it is not wrong, the so-called bad breeding, mainly for novices, Traffic light fish raised, it is not easy to die, but the method of raising, not everyone will, and water quality, temperature is too sensitive, but also delicate, a word of rotten scales make you zhang'er monk confused, death is also a batch of batches, anyway is not recommended for novices to raise. But this kind of fish many people like ah, really want to raise how to do, at this time we can consider a kind of traffic light fish looks very similar, a lot of novice silly and indistinguishable fish to raise, it is today's protagonist - Pauline lamp fish. The color of Pauline lantern fish is brighter and better than that of traffic lights, and it is more solid than traffic lights (although it is more expensive, generally more than 2.5), which is more suitable for novice breeding.
Question 1: What is the difference between Pauline lamp and traffic light?
The picture above is the Pauline lamp fish, look at the red part of the fish body
At a glance, it feels like there is no difference between the two, in fact, it is still very obvious to look at it carefully, the most intuitive way is to look at the red part of its body, the range of the red part of the Pauline lamp fish is larger, basically the entire lower half is red, and the traffic light is only about half of the lower half of the body. Under the lights, the color luster of pauline lamps is also more vivid and dazzling than that of traffic lights. In terms of body size, adult Pauline lamps are generally about one or two centimeters longer than traffic lights.

Question 2: Why is there so much price difference?
First of all, in this era of looking at the face, Pauline lamp is indeed better than the traffic light, secondly, the difficulty of artificial reproduction of pauline lamp is much greater than that of traffic light, and things are rare and expensive, and the characteristics of Pauline lamp fish swimming are a little better than traffic lights, and they are also better than traffic lights, which are much better than traffic lights, so the price difference is formed, but it is not that traffic lights are not good-looking, but they are just flowers into each eye.
Pauline lantern group swimming is good
Question 3: How to raise Pauline lamp fish well?
Baolian lamp and traffic lights feeding conditions are similar, the suitable water temperature is around 24 ~ 26 °, like ph5.0 ~ 7.0 or so weak acidic water quality. In terms of eating is not picky, ordinary small tropical fish pellet feed or flake feed can be, to buy the kind with color enhancement function, in order to make the fish body more colorful, occasionally feed some pygmy shrimp to supplement the protein. Because Pauline lamp fish like weak acidic water quality, so want to raise Pauline lamp fish, you can put a piece of sunken wood in the water, sunken wood has the effect of adjusting the pH of the water body, can make the water body gradually weak acidity, so the sinking wood and Pauline lamp fish is a good match. Secondly, Pauline lamps and traffic lights like old water soft water does not like new water hard water, if the local water quality is too hard, it is best to soften it, which is also the reason why many novices can not raise this fish, raising Pauline lamp fish and traffic light fish can not be too diligent, once can not change too much (not to say do not change water, do not change water nitrite accumulation of too much poisoning like death), control in 1 week to change the water once on the good, a change of 1/4 or so, pay attention to the fluctuation of water temperature can not be large, I raised in this way for a year are good, only died 1, This kind of fish is not suitable for too little breeding, about 30 or more together to raise better, but also more able to swim in groups. If the number of bars is too small, their own psychological pressure will be very large and will also affect their health. Pay attention to the pauline lamp fish do not use too small fish tanks, the density is not too high, about 60 tanks can be raised 30-40, which is matched with other fish species. There is also a key is that the temperature control and water before the Pauline lamp fish into the tank is very important, directly related to how much the fish will die after entering the tank, so before entering the tank, the whole bag should be soaked in the water of the fish tank for half an hour, so that the water temperature is as close as possible, and the water should be dripped and driped, and the water should be slowly crossed. Do this step well, at least there will be no situation where more than half of the people will be killed and injured within a few days of entering the tank.
When you turn off the lights and go to sleep, the color of the fish will slowly fade and disappear, and it will be fine the next day
Question 4: What should I do if pauline lamp fish is sick?
The most common is rotten tail disease, the tail rots little by little, slowly rots to the flesh, and finally can't swim, is sucked by the water pump and slowly dies. Encounter sick fish, first do not consider the problem of treatment, once found that the signs are not the fastest to fish up and isolate treatment, this disease is extremely contagious, the death of a fish is a small matter, a tank of fish scrap is a big deal, Pauline lamp is not very resistant, or natural rehabilitation, or directly hang up, hang up the chance is greater. If many fish have problems, it may be that the water quality is a problem, at this time it is recommended to change some water, and at the same time slightly increase the temperature of the heating rod within the adaptation range of the fish.
Pay attention when the color of the fish body is not bright and the tail begins to rot
