The big silver axe swallow fish is a kind of ornamental fish with very docile character. We can often see them swimming in groups in aquariums, and the group swimming is relatively strong. This kind of fish is relatively timid. If the lights in the aquarium are suddenly turned on, they will be frightened and then suddenly jump. If lighting equipment is installed in the aquarium where they are raised, it is necessary to slowly increase the light intensity when opening.

They can be mixed, but when they are mixed, they should choose some gentle ornamental fish to keep with them. When feeding this kind of fish, it should also be noted that their mouthparts are inclined upward. Therefore, there is no way for them to ingest the bait that sinks to the bottom. When feeding, choose some feeds with strong floatability, which is more beneficial to their growth. This kind of fish is difficult to breed and raise. Beginners are not recommended to try.

1. Feeding: The feeding habits of the big silver axe swallow fish are complex, and the acceptance of animal bait and artificial feed is very high. They can also go to the water to find food by themselves. It is ok to choose some live bait such as nematodes and Daphnia to feed.

2. Environment: They are very timid. When they are frightened by the outside world or illuminated by lights, they will suddenly jump out of the water. So put a lid on their aquarium and put it in a quieter environment.

3. Water temperature: This fish is very susceptible to white spot disease. Too much temperature difference in the water where they are raised will accelerate the occurrence of this disease. When raising at home, the temperature should be controlled in the range of 23-30 ℃, which can better ensure their health.
