The flying anchovy is a very popular ornamental fish, because they are not only beautiful in appearance, but also very good in meaning, symbolizing the prosperity of dragons and phoenixes. They are relatively large in size. Generally speaking, adult flying anchovies can reach more than 30 centimeters in size. However, the size of flying anchovies raised in families is generally relatively small, which is affected by various environmental factors around them. For example, the space in the fish tank, if the fish tank is not big enough, and the number of cultured flying anchovies is relatively large, then the flying anchovies growing in this unsuitable environment will be relatively small. And food, if it's undernourished, will cause them to be stunted, and then they will be smaller.
Therefore, if you want the flying anchovy to grow to a larger size, you have to pay attention to controlling the surrounding environment. In addition to environmental factors, different species of flying anchovies are also different in size. Some species of flying anchovies can be very large, reaching 40 centimeters or more.
The life span of the flying anchovy is relatively long. Under normal circumstances, that is, they will not die early because of illness, their life span is about 8 years. However, the life span of flying anchovies raised in families is generally less than 8 years. Their life span will be affected by various factors, once the environment is not suitable, it will affect their life span. Moreover, affected by the ornamental effect, once the flying anchovies are older and lose their ornamental value, they are easily abandoned by the viewers.
