Maojianyu is a kind of relatively fierce fish, brutal temperament, not suitable for mixed culture with other types of fish. The water environment characteristics of their origin are obvious, which means that they have higher requirements for feeding water quality. If the water body is not up to standard, it will affect their reproduction. This kind of fish is difficult to raise and is not suitable for novices.
1. Water temperature: When raising Maojianyu, water temperature should be controlled to a certain extent. The water temperature is 22-25 C, which can make them in a better growth state. During their breeding period, the water temperature should be maintained at 27-28 degrees Celsius.
2. Water quality: Due to the special water quality of the place of origin, when feeding in a fish tank, it is also necessary to provide a slightly alkaline environment with a slightly higher pH value, and the water quality should also be hard. Only in this way can we meet the higher requirements of water quality of Maojian fish. In the arrangement of fish tank environment, the selection of coral sand can maintain water quality to a certain extent.
3. Feeding: When they are in their original place, they can eat plankton or small fish and shrimp. When they are raised in a fish tank, they can be fed with active baits such as water fleas, tubificidae, Artemia or blood worms. There is also a more convenient feeding method, that is, feeding artificial pellets.
