Lionfish is a very strange appearance of the fish, they can be cultured. However, because they are a kind of marine fish, and they are a kind of solitary fish, if they are cultured artificially, they may not adapt to the surrounding environment, at this time they are more likely to die. Therefore, if we want to raise them artificially, we need to pay attention to more problems, we need to try to let them live in a similar environment with the sea water, in order to make them adapt as soon as possible.
1. Space: An important aspect of raising lionfish is to provide them with sufficient space. Lionfish are relatively large, and their body length will be between 25 and 40 centimeters when they grow up. If they are cultured artificially, they can not choose too small containers.
2. Water temperature: Lionfish also have a high requirement for water temperature. If the water temperature is too low, they will not be able to adapt to the surrounding environment, so they will easily die. Specifically, it is better to keep the water temperature range between 26-27 degrees. Of course, the water temperature should not be too high.
3. Water environment: In addition to water temperature, all factors of water environment need to be regulated and controlled. For example, the PH value of water should be between 8 and 8.5, that is, slightly alkaline water. Moreover, the hardness of water is better at 7-9. Another important point is to simulate the environment similar to seawater, which requires sea salt, because lionfish is a kind of seawater fish.
4. Feeding: Feeding is also a very important step in breeding lionfish. Lionfish are carnivorous fish and need to choose animal feed as their food. There are many specific types, such as small fish, shrimp and tubificidae. If there is no animal feed at ordinary times, you can also choose special fish feed for marine fish. At the beginning of captivity, they may refuse to eat due to environmental changes, at this time, live brine shrimp can be used to make them open their mouths.
