Pineapple fish is a relatively common ornamental fish. They are very ornamental and colorful. When breeding them, many breeders will want to mix them with other fish, which is OK. However, not all fish can be mixed with the need to consider the issue or more.
In terms of habits, pineapple fish is a tropical fish with high requirements for water temperature; Moreover, this kind of fish has a particularly high demand for water quality, because their disease resistance is relatively weak. Therefore, the first consideration of polyculture is whether the habits and characteristics are the same. Moreover, in terms of body size, we need to choose fish with similar body size to pineapple fish. So that they are not easy to fight with each other, there will not be a kind of fish to eat another fish. Comprehensive consideration, there are still many varieties to choose from, such as map fish, gold drum fish, silver drum fish, ruby fish and so on.
It is best not to pineapple fish and parrot fish mixed culture. From the point of view of habits, they are all tropical fish, and their requirements for the surrounding environment are similar. But the parrot fish is a kind of fierce fish, and it may hurt the pineapple fish in the process of mixed culture. Therefore, the success rate of their polyculture is not high, and polyculture is not recommended. If polyculture is necessary, it is best to start when they are in the juvenile stage. If you put them together as adults, you must choose similar size, so that they are not easy to fight.
