Sunfish is not a fish originating in China, but in the Americas. It was later introduced into other countries. In our country, because of their high edible value, they can be used as an economic fish farming, and large-scale farming behavior is also relatively common. In addition, their ornamental is also better, because their colors are more bright. Therefore, it is common to breed them at home as ornamental fish.
1. Container: First of all, prepare a suitable container for raising sunfish. You can use transparent fish tanks as containers after they are washed clean. If a large area of breeding, you can use aquaculture ponds, fresh water to breed, if you use tap water, you need to stand in advance to dry. You can keep only this kind of fish, or you can keep it with other fish.
2. Feeding: Feeding is also an important factor. Adequate food should be provided. When the sunfish is relatively small, it can feed aquatic insects, smaller fish, algae and so on. After they grow up, they can be fed with larger fish and shrimp, as well as pellets. If they are raised at home, they can also feed some steamed buns, rice and so on.
3. Water temperature: Ensuring water temperature is also an important task. It can be maintained at about 20 degrees, other seasons are generally no problem, in winter, it is necessary to properly raise the water temperature.
4. Illumination: In the process of feeding, appropriate light irradiation can be provided. Especially in winter, the water temperature itself is relatively low, which can properly extend the time of illumination.
5. Disease prevention: Sunfish sometimes get "white spot disease", which is more harmful to sunfish. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure water quality and change water in time to avoid a large number of bacteria breeding in water. The other is timely treatment when symptoms are found.
