What is the appropriate water temperature for keeping map fish?

Map fish, also known as pig fish, starfish, tail fish, is a kind of stripes with map-like patterns, the lines are red and irregular. Map fish is a relatively large, slow-moving, gluttonous but not ferocious ornamental fish. Now many people keep it in the fish tank. However, map fish is also a rare delicacy in some high-end restaurants, which is enough to show that its meat is also very delicious. Let's take a look at the appropriate water temperature for keeping map fish. What are the other main points of breeding?

First, how appropriate is the water temperature for raising land map fish?

When raising map fish, the most suitable water temperature is between 22 and 30 degrees Celsius, if it is lower than 18 degrees Celsius, whether it nourishes its normal growth, otherwise it will die because it does not adapt to the environment. Of course, the highest temperature can not exceed 30 degrees Celsius, otherwise it will have the same consequences.

Usually keep the feeding temperature between 22 and 28 degrees Celsius, do not have too big fluctuations, otherwise it will not be conducive to its growth. Therefore, before raising map fish, we must make full preparations, first understand its living habits, master all kinds of breeding points in order to raise it well.

Introduction of other key points of keeping map fish

1. Feeding density

Map fish consume a lot of oxygen when they are raised in a fish tank, so don't breed it too densely so as not to affect its growth. The breeding density should be reasonably determined according to the size of the cultured map fish. When the body length is 8 cm, about 40 tails can be stocked, 20 tails can be released when the body length is 12 cm, 4 to 6 tails can be released when the body length is 20 cm, and two tails can be released when the body length is above 26 cm.

2. Water quality requirements

If you keep map fish, the requirements for water quality are not very strict, you only need to maintain the freshness of the water quality, which can promote the growth of the fish. Keeping map fish needs to change water every day, otherwise the unclean water quality will lead to map fish disease.

3. Feeding

Map fish like to eat some live bait, different periods of food intake is also different, such as juvenile fish, generally can eat water fleas, earthworms, wigglers and so on. Adult map fish can eat small fish, shrimp, Loach and so on. If you feed map fish, you should pay attention to the timing and quantity of feeding, and do not feed too much at one time, otherwise there will be a phenomenon of water pollution caused by endless feed. At ordinary times, we should also pay attention to the intake of various trace elements to ensure balanced nutrition.

4. Lighting conditions

The growth of map fish needs to receive moderate light, and it is best to have two hours of light every day, which is more conducive to its healthy growth and brighter skin color.

The above is about raising map fish water temperature, feeding density, water quality requirements, feeding requirements and other key points, I hope it will be helpful to you.
