You can choose to mix with rounded tropical fish, but not with small, slender fish, or the small fish will be swallowed. In addition, its physique is relatively strong, and the growth rate of different varieties is often different.
1, fish tank: Dinosaur fish's body is relatively soft, the size of the fish tank is not high. For 30 cm varieties, 60 cm of the fish tank can be used, of course, the larger the fish tank is often better. If you want the fish to grow to 50 centimeters, the tank should be at least 1.5 meters. The bottom of the cylinder can be paved with bottom sand, placed with sunken wood, and some PVC hollow pipes can also be prepared.
2. Water body: Dinosaur fish are suitable to live in weakly acidic or neutral water. The requirement for water quality is not high. They can be used after being trapped in tap water for several days. In addition, as a tropical fish, it has certain requirements for water temperature, usually controlled above 25 C.
