Akashi is a small and medium-sized tropical fish, so the fish tank can not be too large, the specifications are generally 40 * 25 * 30, so there is enough space for it to move. The bottom of the fish tank can be paved with some neutral bottom sand, and at the same time, the filtration system should be prepared, so as to keep the water clean and hygienic. Also plant some water plants to provide shelter for it, or build a nest in the tank.
Akashic is native to the Amazon River Basin in South America. Its growth water temperature should be kept at 26-28 ℃. If it is too low, it will affect its feeding and may even freeze to death. In addition, the water quality should be acidic, Ph should be maintained between 6-6.5, and the hardness of the water should be around 5-10, which is more conducive to the healthy growth of fish.
Acacia is an omnivorous fish, its feeding range is relatively wide. The larvae of some rotifers or brine shrimp are mainly fed to the young fish, and the artificial feed can be changed when the young fish grow up. But can not be directly replaced, need to use mixed feed feeding, and then slowly increase the amount of artificial feed, so that the fish can adapt. They can also be mixed with short bream which has been accustomed to eating artificial feed, and they can get used to it slowly.
In order to ensure the health of Acacia bream, change water regularly, usually once a week, and the amount of water changed is about one third. If the water is changed too much, the fish body is easily stimulated, causing it not to eat. When changing water, we should also pay attention to the water temperature to avoid too much temperature change, which will affect the growth of fish.
