? The red-backed cichlid is recognized as one of the most ferocious fish. Therefore, when raising them, it is required to provide them with a fish tank with enough space. Otherwise, they will bully other fish. In addition, their growth rate and hair color are relatively slow, but even so, because of their unique color matching and bright colors after hair color, they are very popular with fish farmers. So as long as they are carefully raised, they can still take good care of them.
fire-red-backed cichlids 1. Water temperature: Fire-red-backed cichlids are suitable for living in a water environment where the water temperature is between 23-28 degrees Celsius. Their own requirements for water temperature environment are not high at all, but they still need to ensure the stability of water temperature. Especially in the process of changing water, we should pay attention to controlling the temperature difference, preferably not more than 2 degrees Celsius.
2. Water quality: They basically have three requirements for water quality. One is the weak alkaline state, the other is the hard water environment, and the third is the cleanliness of water quality. Therefore, when feeding, it is best to keep the pH value of the water body between 7.2 and 7.8 and the hardness of the water body between 10 and 16. In addition, a filter with good performance should be installed.
3. Feeding: It is relatively simple to raise these omnivorous fish. Because they're not picky eaters. It is possible to feed artificial feed and active bait.
