Can mackerel be kept in a fish tank? How to keep it?

Mackerel can be kept in a fish tank. Mackerel is one of the fish species living in the south of China, which can be cultured artificially. However, they are usually cultured in large areas, that is, they need to be cultured in ponds. Some people also breed them in fish tanks, but it is not common. This is because the mackerel is not a special ornamental fish, the color is not bright, it is rare to keep it in the fish tank as an ornamental fish, and more people will keep it in the breeding pond.

1. Can mackerel be kept in a fish tank

? Mackerel is one of the many fish species living in our country. It is relatively common in the south, but not in the north. They have a certain economic value, so the behavior of artificial breeding of them is relatively common. When breeding them, they usually use breeding ponds, because the number of breeders is generally larger. Because of their high requirements for water temperature, they are generally bred in the south, and they can not survive the winter naturally in the north.

In addition, there are also people who breed mackerel in fish tanks. However, mackerel is not a special ornamental fish, and its ornamental value is not particularly high, and its color is not bright, so it is basically not cultured as a fish in the fish tank. Generally speaking, although it is possible to keep them in fish tanks, this behavior is not particularly common.

2. How to raise

mackerel 1. Container: As mentioned above, mackerel can be raised in ponds or fish tanks. Large-scale aquaculture needs to use aquaculture ponds, the area is generally about 6 mu, and a layer of silt is needed at the bottom. If the fish tank is used for breeding, green plants such as aquatic plants can be planted in the fish tank.

2. Water temperature: Mackerel has a relatively high requirement for water temperature, so whether it is the mackerel cultured in the culture pond or the mackerel cultured in the fish tank, the water temperature needs to be controlled. Generally speaking, it is more appropriate to keep it between 15-30 degrees, and it must not be too low.

3. Food: Mackerels are omnivorous and not picky eaters. They can be fed animals or plants. If a large area of mackerel is cultured, some soybean milk or vegetable cakes can be put into the culture pond as food for mackerel. If they are kept in a fish tank, it is possible to choose a variety of animals and plants.

4. Disease prevention: Generally speaking, the resistance of mackerel is relatively strong, and it is not easy to get sick. However, there is a disease that is relatively common, called "bubble disease", so it needs regular prevention and treatment. Water quality is an important aspect. It is necessary to keep the water clean all the time and change the water regularly.
