Sorry, I'm a whoop!

Speaking of tiger fish, some aquarists feel excited, and some aquarists feel flesh pain. Expensive is really expensive, cheap is really ugly.
If someone says he has eight Thai tiger fish in his fish tank, should you be envious? Or should we be jealous?
No nonsense, it's time for the class!
This article is suitable for large and medium-sized tropical fish players, but also for you who love life. Expected to read 3 minutes.
Dragons fight tigers
Speaking of tiger fish, what is your first reaction? - Fish with Arowana?
Many people like dragon and tiger pairing - put arowana and tiger fish into a fish tank polyculture.
Then put the flying anchovies and pig-nosed turtles in, and put out a perfect four-square feng shui array.
But you know what? Many people will use a fish tank to mix two or three kinds of goby fish - a tank of tiger fish, which is also a good scenery.
Tiger fish are large fish, up to 60 centimeters long - although The tiger fish has never seen such a big one, haha!
But from the breed point of view, it is a very funny breed, and their classification can make fish breeders think of cute doghead fish.
Because goby can be divided into two main categories: freshwater goby and semi-salted goby.
Freshwater goby include: Thai goby, Indonesian goby, northern Thai goby, Vietnamese goby, as well as inexplicable Cambodian goby and Sumatran goby;
Semi-salted goby: Silver goby and New Guinea goby.
The most common goby are the Indonesian goby, the most expensive goby are the Thai goby and the Vietnamese goby, and the most likely to die is the Northern Thai goby.
Thai goby
The standard of the local tycoon, the pet of the rich, don't doubt, is the Thai tiger.
Thai tiger is particularly simple, just two characteristics: particularly good-looking, especially expensive.
To tell the truth, fifteen years back, the Thai tiger is not a high-end product, and later I don't know what happened, and it has become a luxury in the pet fish industry.
Compared with other tiger fish, the biggest point of the Thai goby is that it is not easy to turn black, and it can always maintain the state of the tiger.
This is a fish species that uses "ten thousand" to indicate the price, and most tiger fish lovers do not have it in the fish tank - will you be scolded for saying this? Hey! ~
Regarding the Thai Tiger Fish, as a novice player, you only need to know three knowledge points to enough -
First, although the Thai tiger fish is called Thai tiger fish, it is not only found in Thailand, but also in the Mekong River Basin countries around Thailand;
Second, the identifying mark of the Thai tigerfish is the tiger stripe of six and a half, which refers to the third stripe starting from the tail is half stripe, not at the channel fin;
Third, when Tai Hu was a child, it was a black stripe on a white background, and when he grew up, it was a black stripe on a gold background, and Hezai felt that Tai Hu's childhood was more beautiful, what do you think?
Conclusion: Thai tiger fish, local tycoons casual, novice detours.
Four-striped Indonesian tiger
Indonesian goby is the protagonist of today, everyone applauded and welcomed~
Indonesian tigers are natural cowards!
Once frightened or the environment suddenly changes, it gives you "coal mining" and becomes an ugly duckling.
The vast majority of aquarists' home goby are four-striped Indonesian tigers.
There are four types of Indonesian goby on the market: three-striped tiger, four-striped tiger, hybrid tiger and double-sided tiger (seven lines on one side and eight lines on the other).
The cheapest and most ugly is the miscellaneous tiger fish, which belongs to the eliminated fish in a chicken fish; the most expensive is the three-striped tiger; the most cost-effective is the four-striped tiger.
The Thai tiger is a day-walking fish, while the Indonesian tiger is a nocturnal tiger.
The Indonesian tiger also has a nickname, called "color-changing tiger", because its pattern is suddenly bright and dark, and the jargon is called "bright tiger becomes dark tiger".
Northern Thailand tiger fish
It has long been believed that Indonesian tiger discoloration is a powerful skill born to deal with changes in the outside world, which will not change because of human preferences.
Since it is the innate skill of this creature, Hezi thinks that aquarists do not have to be happy and sad because of the flickering light and darkness of the tiger fish.
Many aquarists have experience, buy a dark tiger back at the aquarium, and when you first put it in your fish tank, you will find that it will soon light up, but in less than three days, it will darken again.
Darkening is a protective color that makes yourself less conspicuous and avoids being spotted by predators.
Frightened will quickly darken, sometimes frightened and brighten, but this lightening is short-lived.
To keep the Indonesian tiger bright for a long time. Your only train of thought is to do what the tiger fish likes.
What do tigerfish like?
First, excellent water quality. On the one hand, it means that before you buy tiger fish, you must raise the water first, raise the fish first, this is the truth; on the other hand, you have to maintain good water quality, tiger fish like new water, if you do not change the water for a long time, you do not expect your tiger fish to be in a good state; this is fundamental, without this one, the following methods are all invalid!
Second, the Indonesian tiger will darken when bullied by others, which is the self-protection of the timid Indonesian tiger; but what if you prepare a sandbag for your tiger fish and let it bully other fish? At this time, you will witness this bullying soft and hard face. You go and choose a sandbag fish that is half smaller than the goby and put it in and let the goby bully. Sandbag fish is recommended to use parrot fish and pineapple fish, remember, buy small, the specific criteria are: neither by the tiger fish as a snack, nor by the sandbag fish bully. When the tiger fish learns to bully others, it will also become brighter;
Third, avoid strong light exposure. As mentioned above, the Indonesian tiger is a nocturnal fish, and it does not like bright light. Only a relatively dark light will give it a sense of security, and it dares to release its bright side;
Fourth, if you can raise it alone, don't mix it. The solitary culture here is worth it because there are only tiger fish in the tank, and no other species. If you think about it, you put the arowana and the tiger fish into a fish tank, and the tiger fish will wonder: Such a big guy, will the guy bite me? I'll still get a little darker! You can't see, you can't see, you can't see! The case of the big dragon bar and the little tiger eating is not one or two;
Fifth, give the tiger fish six points full. Tiger fish, you can neither starve it, nor can you feed it, you must let it have the urge to forage, at this time, it is excited, it forgets to be afraid, and focuses on finding small fish as a snack. Forget to be afraid, and it will speed up the pace of becoming brighter.
This is a natural response that has been proven in practice.
He will introduce you to a kind of unscrupulous method of profiteers -- pinching fish.
It is estimated that many of the deepest tigerfish players have heard of this appalling method.
The specific operation is to use your fingers to pinch the fish, mostly around the gill cover, and then it may become a bright tiger.
Today, I told you all: Don't use this method, let the profiteers use it themselves!
As mentioned above, Indonesian tigers will darken because they are frightened, and they will also become brighter because they are frightened, and this lighting is short-lived.
If you scare it, its mood will not relax, you don't think about it forever!
What's more, how many people have strangled their own tiger fish to death, you know?
He often says: Fish farming should conform to nature. Seedling-fueled things, let's not do it!
Vietnamese tigers and dragons
Recent photo of Vietnamese tiger
Among the internationally recognized tiger fish species, there is no Vietnamese tiger!
The origin of the Vietnamese tiger is simply more bizarre than a detective novel.
Whether the Vietnamese tiger is a wild tiger or an artificial tiger is uncertain.
The correct answer is probably only known to exporters in Southeast Asia, but it is not known whether people will tell us the truth Chinese.
Vietnamese tigers are too expensive, so expensive that you doubt life, but you still have to look at people twice.
That's what Hoa Tsai thinks: A hybrid of Thai goby and Indonesian goby from the Vietnamese Goby Market, and is the choice of hybrid fish.
There is only one of them: the Vietnamese tiger has the characteristics of both the Thai goby and the Indonesian goby.
Its pattern is biased towards the Indonesian tiger, but its habits are that of a Thai tigerfish.
There is also the place of origin, so far, there is no authoritative statement that can explain the origin of the Vietnamese tiger.
Objectively speaking, Vietnamese tigers are indeed beautiful! This is probably the same as mixed race!
Words in the heart of the boy: There is a question about the Northern Thai Tiger, and there is no standard answer on the Internet. Let me ask the god who passed by: Is the Northern Thai Tiger a day tiger or a nocturnal tiger?
