Striped porgy is a marine fish. In the waters of the Indian and Pacific Oceans, this kind of fish is more common. They are relatively mild in temperament and can be mixed with some saltwater fish. They like to go out to feed at night and have distinct characteristics of benthic fish. Their requirements for bait are relatively low, but their requirements for water quality are slightly higher. Because the maintenance of seawater environment is not particularly easy, it is difficult for novices to raise them.
1, water temperature: striped porgy living environment water temperature is generally between 27-28 ℃, temperature change is small. When breeding, the same water temperature conditions should be provided, which is more conducive to their activities and survival.
2. Water quality: Compared with other fish, they have higher requirements on water quality. Because they are marine fish, when they are cultured, they should use seawater or add salt to fresh water to simulate the seawater environment. The proportion of seawater is 1.022-1.023, which is relatively high. When breeding, the specific gravity of water should be adjusted to the same range.
3. Feeding: As a typical representative of carnivorous fish, they have a variety of edible baits, so they have more choices in feeding. In breeding, tubificidae are often used, others are red worms, or pellets for marine fish. It is suggested to feed a variety of baits when feeding, which is more conducive to the nutritional balance of striped bream.
