The elf fish is a small tropical fish. When they are fully adult, their body length can grow between 4-6cm. Although they are small, they are very smart and lovely. Their bodies are slender, with a brown stripe running from the head through the eyes to the tail. When swimming, this brown stripe will swing with the body of the fish, which is very beautiful.
Under normal circumstances, the life span of elf fish is about 5-6 years, which is relatively long among small fish. They have strong ability to adapt to the environment, but they are prone to sudden death when the environment changes suddenly. So, just after putting them in the new tank, we must take care of them carefully and give them a suitable environment to avoid their sudden death.
When breeding the elf fish, we must provide them with a suitable growth environment. They can eat the algae in the tank, so if there are enough algae in the tank or on the wall, they can even not feed. But if the tank is clean and there is a lack of food, they should be fed some plant feed that can sink to the bottom. Before they starve to death. When farming, we should also pay attention not to let the water temperature change too much, otherwise they are prone to sudden death. It is better to change the water one third or one quarter at a time, so as to avoid sharp changes in water temperature.
