Baoliandeng fish essentially belongs to lower fish, to be precise, it is middle and lower fish. Anyone who has raised lotus lantern fish should find that they rarely swim on the water, and most of them move either in the middle or in the lower layer. The upper layer is generally like silver carp and black fish, and a few grass carps are also in the upper layer, while the lotus lantern fish are basically in the lower layer.

When raising them daily, we must control the water temperature. Too much change in water temperature can easily cause them to swim to the upper layer to breathe because of poor breathing. In addition, the water in which they are raised should be acidic and the water quality should be free from pollution. They don't like light very much, so they can put more plants in the fish tank to avoid light.

Baoliandeng fish mix with traffic light fish. These two kinds of fish are very similar in appearance and living habits. They are all quiet in character, and there will be no fighting when they are mixed together. When breeders mix these two kinds of fish, they should pay attention to screening the size of the mixed fish. It is necessary to choose lotus lantern fish and traffic light fish with little difference in size for polyculture, which can effectively avoid fighting and increase ornamental value.
