In the cultivation of map fish, we will think of the problem of mixed culture, because mixed culture of a variety of fish looks better ornamental. However, when mixed culture, we need to pay attention to the selection of appropriate species of fish, not all fish are suitable for mixed culture with map fish. Parrot fish, for example, are generally not suitable for mixing with map fish. Parrot fish is a relatively fierce fish, it usually likes to chase other fish. If they encounter smaller fish, shrimps and so on, they may eat them directly.
Moreover, their sense of territory is relatively strong, usually very easy to fight for territory. Parrot fish are also relatively large and can easily hurt other fish in the process of fighting. Besides map fish, they eat a lot, so they may fight with other fish when they fight, and they may hurt each other in the process of fighting. So, try not to put two kinds of fish in a mixed culture.
Map fish and koi best not a mixed culture. Map fish is also a relatively large fish, but also fierce temperament, appetite is relatively large, they will devour almost all the bait that can be eaten, especially like to eat live small fish and shrimp and so on. In normal times, map fish also like to chase other fish. The size of Koi is relatively small, and it is easy to suffer if they are raised together. Even if the koi is not eaten, it may be injured in the fight.
