The number of Baolian lantern fish should be selected according to the number of fish tanks. The more fish tanks are raised, the larger the fish tanks should be, so that there is enough space for activities. Broad-leaved water plants should be planted in the tank, which can shade it and create a dark environment, which is conducive to the growth of fish. There is also a temperature adjustment device in the cylinder, so that the temperature can be better controlled.
Baolian lantern fish is suitable for living in soft water, PH between 5.5-7 weak acid water is more conducive to its growth, in addition, the water temperature should be controlled between 23-28 ℃, if the water temperature is too low, it will affect the feeding of fish. Usually three to five days to change the water, the amount of water in about a quarter to a third, if too much will stimulate the fish, affecting their lives.
The feeding habits of the lantern fish are miscellaneous, and there are many choices for feeding, but they are usually divided into dry feed and live bait. Dry feed is artificial feed, which can meet the needs of the growth of the fish, but long-term feeding of this feed can easily lead to the fading of body color and reduce its ornamental value, so it must be matched with live bait. Usually water fleas and small fish worms.
The Baolian lantern fish usually enters the sexual maturity period when it is 6-8 months old. At this time, if the abdomen of the female fish becomes larger, it needs to be fished out and put into the breeding box together with the male fish at dusk. Keep the light dark. When it is morning, it can lay eggs. It will hatch in a day or so. After that, the parent fish need to be fished out and prepared to open the mouth the next day.
