The origin of acar ratfish is in Peru, South America. They like to move at the bottom of the water body and have a gentle temperament. Therefore, when feeding, some aquatic plants or sunken trees can be planted at the bottom for them to play. They are small ornamental fish, very friendly, and like to swim with fish of similar size, so they can be mixed with other fish. They have a high acceptance of feed, and generally speaking, it is not difficult to raise them.
1. Temperature: For acar rat fish, as long as it is not too low, the temperature will not have much impact on them. As long as the temperature of the water environment can be controlled within 22-29 C, they can ensure their healthy growth.
2. Water: They like to live in the environment of weak acid and soft water. Therefore, when raising them, attention should be paid to controlling the acidity and alkalinity of the water body between 6.0 and 7.5, and the hardness of the water body between 2 and 8.
3. Feeding: Because they like to play at the bottom of the water body very much, therefore, when feeding, pay attention to feeding some bait that can sink to the bottom. They belong to omnivorous fish, and it is possible to feed them with active bait or artificial feed. The active bait can be selected from nematode, frozen blood worm, red worm and that like. In addition, they are a very good tool fish, because they can also eat some of the food residue of other fish.
