Color fin tank
The subtannic heteromorphic fish takes its name from its peculiar tooth construction: the number of teeth in the upper jaw is half the number of teeth in the lower jaw, and the length is indeed 3 times that of the lower jaw teeth. Subtaneous heteromorphic fish have only one layer of skin protection on their abdomen in infancy, and grow bone armor with muscle teeth in adulthood, although subtans and tanks are similar, they are smaller, and the largest individual is only about 25 cm.
In appearance, the sub-tank class is very similar to the tank class, and the body is covered with many spines, but the most obvious difference is that the sub-tank class has a large and obvious spine on the back of the head, and there is a depression behind the spine, which is a feature that other heterotypic fish do not have.
1. Color fin tank
The production of the color fin tank is very large, the distribution is also very wide, relatively easy to buy, the color of the body color of the color fin tank is dark gray, the biggest ornamental value is its dorsal fin and tail fin: at the front of the dorsal fin and tail fin, orange and black spots are interlaced with beautiful colors, while the best color fin tank individual dorsal fin and tail fin are orange-red and dotted with black spots. In the case of low light, we can only see this orange dorsal fin and tail fin moving, which is a very colorful one in the alien ornamental fish species.
Second, the imperial leopard
The monarch leopard has a flattened body, a small dorsal fin, a long muzzle, and a cheese-like color dotted with scattered black spots on its body, which is very beautiful. The size of the monarch leopard is very flat, very suitable for activity in the strong current, but the monarch leopard needs a long time to adapt to the new environment, not like the mouse spotted heterotyped fish, in the beginning of a period of time always hiding in the sinking wood or cave, after the adaptation period after the light will also see them carefully out of the forage, but the monarch leopard is a very greedy heterotypic fish, especially fishy big feed, such as blood worms, shrimp and so on.
The monarch leopard is also loved by some aquarists, the monarch leopard has a water temperature requirement between 26-29 ° C, which can grow to about 25-30 cm, and the specific feeding method can refer to other heterotypic fish.
3. Mouse-spotted heterotypic fish
The gray body of the mouse-spotted heterotypic fish has black round spots, and the fins of the dorsal and caudal fins have a very conspicuous white spot, which is reminiscent of a living gray mouse with white hair tips when paired with burrs on the surface of the body. The white spots will slowly shrink with age, and finally only the tip of the fin remains, which is very popular with the mouse-spotted heterotypic fish.
The feeding of rat spotted heterotyped fish is simple, it is very suitable for beginners of heterotyped fish species, because the rat spot heterotyped fish is small, the maximum body length is only about 20 cm, so the 1 meter aquarium is very suitable for them, the rat spotted heterotype fish like bottom sand, feeding should be laid at the bottom of the tank a thin layer of fine sand, and place some smooth pebbles and artificial caves for them to hide. Rat spots are carnivores like other rabbit catfish, so bloodworms are the most suitable food for them. The feeding temperature can be maintained at 25-30 ° C.
4. Black and white double star tank
Black and white tanks
The black and white double star tank, together with the gold diamond and the purple diamond, is known as the three gems of Orinoco. There are two types of black and white double star tanks, one is a thin black and white double star (l240) covered with fine spots, and the other is slightly larger spots called ordinary black and white double stars (l241). The two black-and-white twin-star tanks are produced in different rivers, with most of the fine-dots exported from Venezuela, while Colombia exports the regular version. There is not much difference in price between the two, and there are many in the place of origin, so you only need to follow your own preferences when choosing. Like other heteromorphic fish with similar spots, the spots of the black and white binary tanks are relatively large and small in number at infancy, and as they age, the spots begin to become smaller and the number gradually increases.
The black and white double star tank has a water temperature requirement of about 25-29 ° C, which can grow to about 25-30 cm, which is very suitable for beginners to raise special-shaped fish species, the black and white double star tank is moderate in size, and the personality is very lively, and the dorsal fin that opens the sail when it is active is very beautiful. The black and white double star tank also has a mild personality and is suitable for polyculture with other medium-sized heterogeneous fish.
