Will the scavenger bite the fish to death, and what fish is suitable for raising together

If the fish are small, it is possible for the scavenger to bite them to death. But under normal circumstances, they don't bite healthy fish, only sick fish. They also use suction cups in their mouths to suck mucus from the fish's bodies. When fish are dying of illness, they will eat them directly. If the fish is bigger than the scavenger, it can't be bitten to death under normal circumstances, but it may be bitten.

1. Will scavengers bite fish to death

Scavengers may bite fish to death. If the fish mixed with them are small, scavengers may bite them to death. Because their teeth are sharp, and the suction of their lips is relatively large, they will suck the fish tightly. But they usually don't bite other fish. Only when the fish is sick, they will bite or absorb mucus from the fish's body. If the fish are seriously ill, the scavenger will eat them directly.

If the fish is much larger than the scavenger, it will not be killed by the scavenger, but the scavenger's teeth and suction cups will hurt the fish, so the breeder needs to observe it carefully when breeding.

2. What fish are scavengers suitable for raising with

1. Tropical fish: Scavengers are tropical fish, so it is best for breeders to mix them with tropical fish, so as to avoid discomfort caused by different breeding environments.

2. Fish with faster swimming speed: Scavengers have the habit of sucking fish. In polyculture, breeders need to choose some fish with faster swimming speed. For example, guppy, rat fish, mermaid with eyebrows, doghead fish, traffic light fish and so on.

3. Cyprinidae or lipid cyprinidae fish: Small scavengers can choose to be raised together with cyprinidae or lipid cyprinidae fish, such as rose fish, white cloud golden silk fish, zebrafish, tiger skin fish, etc.
