? Mudskipper is a kind of fish with peculiar appearance, which has certain ornamental value, so some breeders will choose to breed them at home. This kind of behavior is also quite common in real life, and it can be raised in the fish tank at home. However, there are many things to pay attention to in breeding mudskipper, because mudskipper itself is not freshwater fish, but inshore fish, so they have higher requirements for the environment, compared with freshwater ornamental fish, it will be slightly more difficult to breed. However, if they are carefully cared for, they will grow better.
1. Container: If you want to use a fish tank to raise mudskipper, it is best to raise them separately, not to mix them with other fish species. You can put some fine sand or pebbles on the bottom of the fish tank. Try not to plant other plants, these plants are easy to scratch the mudskipper and are not suitable. In addition, another important note is that the fish tank needs to be covered, because the mudskipper has a relatively strong jumping ability.
2. Feeding: Mudskippers are carnivorous fish, so the food they eat should be mainly animals. Specifically, there are many kinds, such as mealworms, small fish, nematodes, etc. Pork or chicken at home can also be given to them appropriately.
3. Water quality: Mudskippers live in shallow waters, so it is better not to breed them directly in freshwater, otherwise their life span will be shortened. Buy special sea salt for fish and add it to the water.
4. Change the water: The requirements of mudskipper for the water environment are not particularly high, so as long as the water is not dirty. In the process of aquaculture, the state of water quality can be observed regularly, and part of the water can be replaced in time when it is found dirty.
5. Oxygenation: There should not be too much mudskipper in the fish tank, otherwise there will be insufficient oxygen. In order to prevent this phenomenon, it is better to prepare oxygen pumps and other tools to supplement oxygen properly.
