is tilapia? Tilapia is also known as "African crucian carp", "Vietnamese fish", "Fushou fish", "golden phoenix fish" and so on. It refers to the fish in the genus Tilapia of Actinopterygii, Perciformes, Cichlidae. The body of this fish is flat and tall. One of their outstanding features is that there are more than a dozen sharp spines on the dorsal fin, and the tail is relatively round. There are some stripes on the side of their body, and there are many stripes. Tilapia is a kind of fish native to Africa, because they belong to tropical fish, so the water temperature requirements are relatively high, generally living in low latitudes.
Tilapia is a kind of freshwater fish, which originally lived in freshwater basins in Africa, and later introduced into freshwater basins in other places. It is also distributed in freshwater in China. However, their requirements for water temperature are still relatively high, so they mainly live in low latitudes in China, mainly in some provinces in southern China, such as Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan and other provinces. In terms of feeding habits, tilapia is an omnivorous fish, but they obviously prefer plant food, whether wild or cultured tilapia, can use plant food as staple food. Tilapia can also be cultured artificially, and has the advantages of fast growth, fast reproduction and strong adaptability.
does tilapia grow? As mentioned above, tilapia is a freshwater fish and grows in freshwater. They originate in freshwater basins in Africa and live in freshwater after being introduced into other countries. In artificial aquaculture, the same way of freshwater aquaculture is used. Specifically, tilapia grows in freshwater basins in low latitudes, because they require high water temperature, if the water temperature is below 10 degrees, they may freeze to death. In addition, tilapia also has a relatively high demand for food, so it grows in places where plants are abundant.
