Mickey fish eat water plants, but not much. Usually, a small amount of aquatic plants are planted at the bottom of the fish tank when breeding, so that the fish can eat grass to satisfy their hunger when they forget to feed, so as not to starve to death. Although aquatic plants can relieve hunger, they can not be used as the main food source for fish. Feeding fish with aquatic plants all the time can also lead to malnutrition. In addition, aquatic plants can also provide oxygen, but excessive aquatic plants will consume oxygen in the water at night. Therefore, the aquatic plants in the fish tank should not be too much, otherwise it will lead to insufficient oxygen supply to the fish.
Mickey fish have a high level of adaptation to the living environment and will not die if raised in a grass tank. But it is not recommended to keep it in a grass tank. It likes weak alkaline, hard and salty water environment, in which most aquatic plants are not easy to grow. Although the environment of the grass tank is more suitable for the growth of aquatic plants, it is not conducive to the life of Mickey fish. In addition, Mickey fish do not like to swim between water and grass. It likes to swim in unobstructed waters or near the surface. The aquatic plants in the grass tank occupy a lot of living space and reduce the scope of the water area. It suppresses the lively nature of Mickey Fish, so it is not recommended to keep it in a grass tank. If you want to keep it in the grass tank, you need to plant water plants that like weak alkaline water, and the number of water plants can not be too much.
