Hello, hello everyone, I'm a leg brother and we're meeting again. Recently, many friends have sent me private messages, asking the leg brother, I opened a 30 tank to raise what fish is good, I opened a 40 tank, what fish is good?
In fact, the leg brother has talked about a lot of fish suitable for such a tank before. Today we will re-summarize and sort out what kind of fish are matched with small tanks.
1. Zebrafish
Zebrafish is native to Asia and is a representative species of our Asian lampfish. At present, there are common red zebras, blue zebras, and even some albino varieties on the market.
Zebrafish are sexually active, very lively, and like to move in the middle and upper layers of the fish tank. At the same time, because its fins are very long and show a transparent color, it swims around like a little fairy in the fish tank, which is very cute.
Its adult body is about five centimeters to six centimeters, which is more suitable for small and medium-sized cylinders.
2. Lamp fish
traffic light
Also known as: red and green carp, traffic light fish, red lotus light fish, neon light fish, red light fish
Category: Neon lipid carp
Origin: Tributaries of the upper Amazon River on the border of Brazil and Colombia and Peru
Body length: 3-4 cm
Suitable temperature: 20 °C-26 °C
The traffic light fish, the whole body is shrouded in turquoise brilliance, from the head to the tail has a bright blue-green band, the back half of the body is also a short red band below the blue-green band, the abdomen is silvery-white, the red band and the blue band run through the whole body, dazzling. Because of its extremely bright body color, the neon carp is known as the "queen" of tropical fish and is one of the most popular freshwater ornamental fish.
(To tell the truth, good looking is not good to raise, the water quality requirements are higher, the premise is to see if you can pass the cylinder this off)
3. Peacock
Also known as: peacock fish
Category: Medakaidae
Origin: Venezuela, Guyana, West Indies, Northern Brazil and other places in South America
Body length: 3-6 cm
Suitable temperature: 22 °C-24 °C
Peacock fish, a tropical fish of the genus Medaka, has a colorful and beautiful body, and its tail stalk and tail fin account for more than 1/3 of the whole body, and each fin is shorter than that of the male. It is much inferior to the male, mostly a single silver gray, and although there are some patterns on the tail fin, it is not as bright as the male.
Introduced as an ornamental fish to Singapore, Japan and China. Mild temperament, can be mixed with mild to medium and small tropical fish, usually lively and active, short lifespan. Artificial cultivation is divided into several strains, such as dresses, mosaics, grass tails, sword tails, metals, snake kings, etc.
(Strong reproductive ability, after the tank break-in period, but also carefully take care of)
4. African cichlid
Also known as: African seabream
Category: Cichlididae
Origin: Three major lakes in Africa (Lake Tanganyik, Lake Malawi, Lake Victoria)
Body length: 4-26cm
Suitable temperature: 23°C-28°C
African cichlids have a unique way of behaving, such as curl shellfish often playing between the fine sand and shells at the bottom of the river, and their lively behavior is also very popular. Most importantly, most African cichlids are lively and forage in groups, and if these species are kept in aquariums, they can not only feel the visual pleasure, but also feel the unique charm of their interaction with people.
Metallic lustrous colors, kaleidoscopic species, and some varieties of unique hatching methods of propagation - the African cichlid does not know how many aquarium lovers have attracted, nor how many praises have been won.
(Aggressive, fish that are similar to or smaller than his body length, it is not recommended to raise them together)
5, black tail red moonlight
Also known as: black-tailed red moonlight, red panda
Body length: 2-4cm
Suitable temperature: 23-26 °C
Red Moonlight distinguishes it from other small lightfish. Most of the fish we talked about are from South America and prefer soft or neutral water. But this fish likes the water quality to be a little harder, which is more conducive to its growth and hair color.
Adult moonlight fish, the female is slightly larger than the male fish. The female fish is five or six centimeters, and the male fish are generally a little more than four centimeters.
Moonlight fish are lively and like to move in the middle and lower levels of the fish tank. Most aquarists also consider it to be a middle-class member, so it is also an omnivorous fish species.
If we want to take care of it simply, we can feed it with pellets and flakes. If we want it to grow faster, we can feed meat, like frozen shrimp and algae.
This fish, it is also very suitable for many of us novices to raise:
First, it is not easy to get sick, and this fish is very resistant to disease.
Second, breeding it can experience the joy of breeding as early as possible. Because once the fish is sexually mature, it will be paired in the tank by itself, and the fish will directly raw small fish, which will be raised for about three months, and basically some small red fish seedlings can be seen in the tank. If you were just born, it would be about five millimeters.
6. Swallow beauty
The first time we saw it, it would be amazing, because this fish was so ethereal, like a fairy sister. Swallow beauty its adult body, probably about four centimeters to five centimeters, the male and female are very good, the color of the male fish is more colorful, its fins are longer, and the female fish is relatively dull, of course, the method of dividing the male and female is similar to the male and female of the peacock, very simple.
The whole body of the swallow beauty is a spindle shape, the upper fin and tail fin of the tip of the mouth are very long, very flowing, and its mouth is very pointed, but it is also very small, so when eating feed, it is necessary to feed the smallest amount of feed. Swallow beauty likes to move in the middle and upper layers of our fish tank, so it is more suitable for our combination of some grass tanks.
Of course, some of our South American tanks can also be matched with such fish, this fish is very ethereal in shape, but the color is not very eye-catching, so when we are matching, it is actually matched with some relatively plain fish, which is more beautiful, like the original some Pauline lights, traffic lights, in fact, it is not particularly good to match.
This fish fin is long and flowing, we said before that this fish is most afraid of the mouth of the fish is very cheap fish, such as tiger skin Congo blue lantern this kind of fish must not be raised inside, because it will turn the fairy sister into a Jigong.
The above fish are very suitable for small and medium-sized fish tanks for raising fish, do you remember? In fact, there are many more types of fish suitable for raising small fish tanks, and I will not introduce them here. If you have any questions about other aquariums, you are welcome to leave a message below, I will give you a positive reply, bye-bye.
