Alien fish
Nowadays, the alien fish, a stranger from afar, can be regarded as a very popular refrigerated fish. The alien fish is eye-catching because of its unique shape. Different alien fish have different characteristics, but alien fish are not easy to service and are very difficult. Generally, they will not encourage new aquarists to keep alien fish, which will only increase their sense of frustration. If you are an expert in aquarium breeding, you might as well give it a try.
1. Price of special-shaped fish
The main types of alien fish that people like now are crown leopards, tank types, panda aliens, peacocks, etc. Among them, the crown leopards are mainly green Leather crown leopards and Gebai crown leopards are kept by many people. Because they are affordable and easy to maintain, they have become the first choice for aquarists. The general price of crown leopard special-shaped fish ranges from more than 100 to more than 300, which is similar to gold. The price of an online crown leopard is around 700-800, and the price of a good-quality one can be thousands. As for the blue-eyed crown leopard, it can be said that it is a special-shaped fish species that is difficult to buy even if you have money.
Tank type fish is considered to be the most powerful one. Its body is covered with thorns and its five fins are all red. It is the most popular and the price Not necessarily, the cheapest varieties range from 100-200, some usually cost more than 1,000, and the most expensive ones can sometimes cost tens of thousands. Of course, most people can't afford such expensive ones, and they are the most rare among aquarists. I still see tanks with special-shaped fish costing several hundred yuan.
2. Use and feeding of bait
"There is a direct relationship between the food intake, health and mood of alien fish." The selection of feed will indirectly affect the health of the fish, so the selection of feed should be paid attention to before paying attention to the amount. Everyone knows that the favorite food of alien fish is moss, but this only refers to ordinary medium and small fish. As for giant fish, there are hundreds of them.Eighty percent of them are omnivorous. As long as they can eat anything in the water, they are interested. In other words, nutrition comes from a variety of foods. We can use imagination to simulate the nutrition of food, so as to treat fish in a natural and man-made way. A balanced supply of feed, such as natural foods such as melons and vegetables, provides fish with vitamin C, excess minerals and fiber. However, it is recommended to feed frequently before changing the water or under a very powerful filtration system. Otherwise, it is still recommended to feed artificial feed, because in addition to adding vitamins and minerals (moss and algae are added to the material), artificial feed also adds some Fiber-heavy materials such as lime can also wear away the old teeth of alien fish and help the metabolism of new ones. It is more beneficial to water quality protection for mass aquaculture. Naturally, when choosing feed, we should also pay attention to the selection of small fish and diseased fish that will soften quickly. It is recommended to use two or more types. Large fish should not add feed that melts quickly and is too crumbly. The water quality will often be contaminated before the big fish come out to eat the feed. Strong fish will often shake dryly or attack others before eating the bait. Only then can you eat safely.
If the food in the water is covered with dust during eating, the owner will lose the pleasure of watching the fish, and the fish will be lost in time. The health and quantity of the fish cannot be seen (because some fish can only be seen when eating bait, such as red-tailed tanks, etc.).
When feeding, do not ignore the number of fish and the number of fish species. It is recommended to invest 2- Only 3 kinds of bait (a few) can take care of the vulnerable people. At the same time, it is recommended that small and medium-sized special-shaped fish breeding tanks can be added with some small fishes of the family Lanternidae and Cyprinidae that are not obvious in appearance and relatively cute in appearance. They will help eat stray objects in the water. For example, tanks with medium and large special-shaped fish can be mixed If you raise some fish that eat vegetables (such as red hook silver plate, etc.), you will clean up the bait and remaining vegetables, cucumbers, etc. (for natural vegetables, pay attention to the water quality).
3. Water quality
Overthrow the old concept that a hundred poisons can never attack a husband. , Alien's requirements for water quality are at least average among all species of fish, and some species have even higher requirements for water quality.The abnormally shaped fish consumes a large amount of food and penetrates quickly, making it a highly contagious fish species. So powerful filtering is absolutely necessary. It should be noted that because shaped food can easily disintegrate in strong water flow and pollute the water quality, it is necessary to deal with the filter inlet dryness, such as placing it in the surface water or covering the filter cotton to prevent food residue from entering the filter. system.
Another important point is if it is to be long-termIf you want to raise aliens safely and grow quickly and healthily, you need to change the water frequently. New water can keep the pH value of the water kept stable and will not cause acid drop (the alien is very sensitive to this). At the same time, it can promote the metabolism of the alien and stimulate the appetite to accelerate the growth. For some body odors, twice a week is necessary. In terms of water temperature, it is better to keep it at 29 degrees. The problem is that bottom-dwelling fish cannot tolerate long-term high temperatures. 29 degrees can not only maintain the ideal feeding environment, but also not cause too much burden on the fish due to high temperatures. If the polyculture density is high, it is best to provide aeration. The fish are especially high-oxygen fish, especially after being fed, problems may easily occur due to lack of oxygen.
Four. Situation
It is best to use a bare tank and sunken wood to raise aliens. Sanding will cause the accumulation of food crumbs and damage the water quality. The deadwood provides a place for the aliens to escape. At the same time, they will also divide their territories in the form of deadwood. More importantly, the aliens can grind their teeth on the deadwood without causing leakage of the fish tank glass glue. There may not be any requirements for lighting. The degree of brilliance of the alien's body color has little to do with the illumination of the light, that is to say, its hair color does not need the help of brilliance. Therefore, instead of making the whole tank bright and bright, it is better to have a quiet and natural feeling in the light and shadow of the heavy wood, which also better simulates the original environment of the alien.
