The difficulty of raising red pearl bream is medium. They are small and slender, and their adult body length is between 6-9 cm. They are mainly distributed in the Amazon River Basin, and there is no requirement for water temperature, so they can be raised with normal temperature water. Their feeding habits are complex, and they can be fed with artificial diet and raw bait. So in general, the difficulty of farming is not very high.
Red pearl bream needs stable water quality. The water quality is better from weak acid to neutral, the PH value is about 5.0-5.5, and the conductivity value of water is suggested to be below 15us. The water temperature can be maintained at about 23-29 degrees Celsius. If conditions permit, it is better to choose an environment with natural tree holes to raise red pearl bream.
The feeding habit of this kind of fish is complex, and it can be fed with artificial feed and raw bait. However, because this kind of fish is a very regional fish, there are some places that need to be paid attention to when feeding. When choosing artificial feed, the requirement is simpler, flake and granular can be used. However, if raw bait is used for feeding, especially some frozen bait, it is necessary to thaw and disinfect the bait in advance. Otherwise, they are prone to intestinal problems and parasitic diseases. At the same time, attention should be paid to strengthening nutrition, and appropriate feeding of blood worms and brine shrimp can be selected.
