How to raise Torchfish

Torch fish is generally the name of parts of the northeast, torch fish, also known as peacock fish, anchovies, is a very common ornamental fish. So how to raise torchfish?

1. Water temperature

The water temperature in the fish tank is stable between 22 and 26 degrees (all tropical fish can adapt to this temperature zone). Adult fish are generally controlled at 22 to 24 degrees, while young fish are controlled at about 24 to 26 degrees. Under normal circumstances, the indoor room temperature can meet its requirements for water temperature, but it is best to use the heater in winter and control the water temperature at about 22 degrees.

2. Feed

Silk earthworms are the first choice for good live bait. On the one hand, silk earthworms have very high nutritional value and can survive for a long time, which will promote torch fish not to eat, thus strengthening the growth rate of torch fish; on the other hand, silk earthworms can also be used as bait to feed silk earthworms into medicine, and then to torch fish to eat, the effect is quite good. So silk earthworms should be the most perfect feed, but fish friends should pay special attention to one thing, because silk earthworms live in the wild, and although aquariums will sterilize them, they will inevitably leave some parasites in their bodies, so fish friends had better deal with them when they feed them.

The second is the harvest shrimp (nauplius)! Here, I would like to make it clear that it does not take too long to prepare for hatching shrimp eggs, nor does it require too many procedures, but after hatching, they should be fed as soon as possible, otherwise their nutritional value will be slightly reduced. But if there is a spare hatched harvest shrimp, you can freeze it and use it next time when you feed it as long as it is thawed.

3. Density

For the density of seed fish, if the tank is 40 × 25 × 30 cm, the stocking density is about 50 to 60. If the density is too high, the water quality should not be controlled and easy to get sick. Pay attention to the fact that the density is too small, there are few big fish in the tank, and the fish do not have to rush for food, which will lead to a lack of excitement and movement, thus affecting the growth rate, which is something that many players have not noticed. Need to pay attention to. Generally after 2 weeks, you will see that as the fish grow up, the density of the tank also increases. At this time, if you do not increase the space, it will affect the growth rate of the fish. At this time, they will be moved to a 50-40-30 cylinder, giving them a wide space and providing better conditions for their further rapid development.

IV. Mixed culture

Soft branches and leaves are the first choice: in addition, the ecological strip is also the focus of consideration. Torch fish belong to the upper layer of fish, that is to say, they often swim back to the top of the aquarium. From the point of view of appreciation, aquatic plants are the most beautiful picture when the background is against torch fish, so aquatic plants had better have a certain height. In addition, it is best to choose species with more branches or even smaller branches and leaves on the branches of leaf stems. Can be matched with the meticulous beauty of torch fish.

Torch fish is a common ornamental fish, if you like to raise friends, you can try to raise a few ornamental fish.
