Elf fish is a better tropical fish to raise. Their environmental adaptability is relatively strong, and the requirements for water quality are not particularly stringent. And they like to eat algae, and if there are enough algae in the tank, they can even be raised without feeding. However, it should be noted that they do not like a sudden change in the breeding environment, otherwise they may die suddenly.
1. Water temperature: Elf fish is a tropical fish, suitable for living in water between 22-30 ℃. They also have a certain degree of cold tolerance, in winter, as long as the ambient temperature is not particularly low, even if they do not heat the tank, they will not freeze to death.
2. Water quality: Elf fish like clean weak acid water. Because they have strong water purification ability, they are not particularly picky about water quality. Many people will also introduce them into the fish tank as clean water fish to breed.
3. Feeding: If there are enough algae in the fish tank, it is not necessary to feed them when they are cultured. They'll eat the algae themselves. But if the tank is clean, you need to feed them some vegetable feed that can sink to the bottom, so as not to starve them to death.
4, mixed culture: Elf fish temperament mild, small size does not occupy space, but also to help improve water quality, so it is very suitable for mixed culture. It is no problem to mix it with other tropical fish such as guppies, rat fish and so on.
