Macaw fish are more aggressive ornamental fish. They are larger and more violent, and may attack small fish and shrimp in the same tank. Therefore, monoculture is recommended when breeding. They are not necessarily mixed culture, but when mixed culture should use a larger tank, reduce the breeding density. It is best to mix them with slightly larger fish.
1, arowana: arowana is a relatively large fish. When mixing, you can choose some arowana that are slightly larger than macaw fish and mix them with them. However, it should be noted that you can not choose a particularly large dragon fish, otherwise the macaw fish may be attacked.
2. Siraitia grosvenorii: Siraitia grosvenorii is also a relatively fierce fish, and its aggression is relatively strong. It is also possible to choose a number of fish that are about the same size as the macaw fish and keep them in a larger tank with the macaw fish. In the case of low breeding density, they generally do not fight.
It is not recommended to raise macaw fish and shrimp together. Because macaws and fish might eat shrimp. When shrimps are shelling, their defense is very low, and they are easy to be attacked and eaten. If mixed culture is necessary, shrimp nests should be placed to provide shelter for shrimp.
