if the water temperature is low? Kissing fish is a freshwater tropical fish with high requirements for water temperature. They are more suitable for living in the water temperature of about 26 degrees Celsius, if the water temperature is above 18 degrees Celsius, they can live normally, but if the water temperature is too low, below 15 degrees Celsius, they will become inactive, do not eat or drink, easy to get sick. Because if the water temperature is too low, their vitality will decrease, their resistance will decrease, and they will easily get sick. When the water temperature is so low that they are close to death, their bodies will appear stiff white, and if the water temperature continues to drop, they will die.
Raising kissing fish needs heating rods. Kissing fish is a tropical fish, which likes weak acidic water quality, and the most suitable water temperature is 18-28 C. It can survive well in the water temperature above 18 C and belongs to a relatively cold-resistant tropical fish. Therefore, in summer, there is no need to install a heating rod, but in winter, it is necessary to ensure that the water temperature is above 18 ℃, and to ensure that the water temperature is constant, at this time, it is necessary to place a heating rod in the fish tank to maintain the temperature.
This kind of fish is sensitive to water quality and does not need to change water frequently, only one third or one quarter of the water in the fish tank can be changed each time. They like to live in acidic water and keep PH between 7-7.5. Because they are timid and swallow eggs during the breeding season, it is best to keep them in a grass tank, which not only provides them with a refuge to hide, but also avoids the occurrence of swallowing eggs.
