The flying anchovy is a very good-looking ornamental fish, and is very popular with breeders. Also, they are a relatively gentle fish and can be mixed with other species of fish. However, although they are not fierce in character, they have the habit of sucking fish. Moreover, it is easy for the sucked fish to die. Fish sucked by flying anchovies are generally sick or have bacteria or parasites on their bodies. If there were no disease, the flying anchovy would probably not suck them.
So, after discovering the phenomenon of flying anchovies sucking fish, you can fish out the fish sucked by them to see if they are sick. They need to be isolated and treated if necessary. If there are many bacteria or parasites on their bodies, they need to be disinfected and sterilized in time. Especially when they suffer from infectious diseases, they must be treated in time, otherwise it may lead to the expansion of the scope of victimization.
In order to prevent the flying anchovy from sucking fish, the best way is not to let the flying anglerfish mix with some unhealthy fish and sick fish with parasites. The mucus secreted by these fish, as well as some parasites, will attract flying anchovies to suck them. Moreover, when mixed culture, we must pay attention to the selection of varieties, if conditions permit, it is best to mix them with the same kind of fish. Other varieties that can be mixed are arowana, swallow fish and so on. In the process of breeding, attention should be paid to disinfection to prevent them from getting sick.
