The mosquito fish is a very good fish to raise. Because it has a strong ability to adapt to the environment, the growth rate is very fast, and the reproductive capacity is also very strong. It is an omnivorous fish and does not pick feed, so it is easy to prepare fish food when breeding. In addition, it does not have high requirements for water, can grow in low-salinity saline water, and does not have very strict requirements for water temperature, and can survive in water of 5-40 C. Generally speaking, it is relatively easy to feed.
1. Water quality: Gambusia affinis does not have a high requirement for water quality. It can not only adapt to weakly acidic or weakly alkaline water, but also adapt to water with a salinity of less than 3%. Tap water dried in the sun can be used as aquaculture water.
2. Water temperature: It does not require high water temperature and can survive in water of 5-40 ℃. They can also adapt to small changes in water temperature. However, when they are cultured, it is recommended to control the water temperature between 18-30 C, which is their optimum growth temperature.
3. Feeding: It is an omnivorous fish. When breeding, you can feed them with the feed of tropical fish. They prefer to eat small aquatic insects, especially mosquito larvae, which is why they are called mosquito fish. If you have the conditions, you can also feed some wigglers to them.
4. Change water: Because they have strong adaptability, they do not need to change water frequently when they are cultured. Usually changing the water every 3-4 days is fine.
