The Dutch phoenix fish is not a particularly easy fish to raise. As a South American bream, it has relatively high requirements for water temperature and quality, and its drug resistance is very poor. Therefore, once it gets sick, it will be very troublesome to treat it. And this kind of fish likes to live food, feeding bait must also pay attention to the amount, but also do a good job of food exchange and other work.
1. Fish tank: a good growth environment must be provided for raising Dutch Phoenix Fish. First of all, we should ensure that there is enough space in the fish tank to facilitate the fish to swim. The bottom of the tank can be paved with river sand and carbon mud, which has a good effect on maintaining weak acidic water quality. In addition, aquatic plants can be planted to provide a place for it to hide.
2. Water body: The water temperature of the Dutch Phoenix Fish is relatively high. It is usually kept between 25 ℃ and 28 ℃. If the water temperature is too low, the appetite of the fish will be reduced, and even its normal growth will be affected. In addition, the PH should be maintained at about 7, and the hardness of water should not exceed 10. In order to ensure the cleanliness and sanitation of water quality, water should be changed every other period of time, the amount of water should be changed about one third, and the residual bait and excrement in water should be cleaned out at the same time.
3. Feeding: The Dutch phoenix fish should be fed regularly and quantitatively. The fry mainly feed on rotifers and paramecium, and when they grow up a little, they can be fed with Cladocera, insect larvae and tubificidae, and they can also be fed with chilled feed and dry feed. It should be noted that if live bait is used, it must be disinfected in advance to ensure the safety of bait.
