The mosquito fish is a kind of ornamental fish. Its size is relatively small and its body is relatively flat. They are mainly a kind of wild fish, wild species life is relatively long, generally between 6-7 years. However, if the water environment they live in is polluted, it will also affect their life span to a certain extent. Recently, they can also be used as ornamental fish to watch at home.
Compared with wild species, the life span of domesticated mosquito fish is relatively short, generally not more than five years. Even some new breeders breed mosquito fish, their life span is only about two or three years, and then they will die for various reasons, such as illness and death. Therefore, in order to make them live longer, we need to pay attention to regulating the environment such as water temperature, water quality, food, oxygen, space and other factors, which can provide a suitable environment for their growth.
As mentioned above, the mosquito fish is a relatively small ornamental fish with a relatively short length. In adulthood, they are between 2 and 4 centimeters. How long they grow, however, is influenced by many factors. For example, the length of female fish is relatively longer than that of male fish, and the length of female fish is generally about 4 centimeters after maturity, while that of male fish is about 2 centimeters. In addition, the way of breeding has a greater impact on their length. If the environment is not suitable, leading to their poor development, it will also affect their length.
