Sparus macrocephalus is easy to raise. They are not strict with the water environment, so long as they are taken good care of, they can be raised well. But if you want to keep their body color well, it is still difficult. It is necessary to carefully control the water temperature, water quality and food to be fed. It is suggested to plant some aquatic plants or put some sunken wood in the fish tank to provide them with a safe environment.

1. Water temperature: Sparus macrocephalus macrocephalus does not require high water temperature, only need to keep the water temperature between 26-28 ℃. However, they are sensitive to the change of water temperature. Therefore, when breeding, pay attention to keep the water temperature constant. Especially when changing water, pay attention to control the temperature difference not to exceed 2 ℃.

2. Water quality: It is an unchanging truth to raise water before raising fish. Good water quality is one of the conditions to ensure their healthy survival. The pH value of water body is controlled between 6.0-6.5, and the hardness of water body is kept between 5-10, which is the most favorable water quality condition for their survival.

3. Feeding: They are typical omnivorous fish. It can accept both artificial feed and active bait. They can be fed frozen bumper shrimp when they are raised. When they are first bought home, they may have anorexia. Don't worry at this time, after they adapt to the new environment, they will slowly regain their appetite.
