Traffic light fish, also known as red and green carp, traffic light fish, neon light fish, red light fish, fluorescent light fish, are freshwater ornamental fish that like to eat live water fleas. They are popular with fishers because of their good appearance. How long is the life span of the traffic light fish? How much is the market price per jin? Why is it easy to die? What kind of water plants should be put in?

How long is the life span?

The normal life span of traffic light fish is 1-2 years, so what to give traffic light fish to eat when raising traffic light fish to make them healthy has become a problem that many fish friends are more concerned about. in fact, raising traffic light fish in addition to the need to pay attention to the choice of traffic light fish feed, breeding environment and other issues also need special attention.

The latest market price:

This depends on the size of the fish, how much to buy, the normal price of 0.3-1.0 yuan, but the price will vary from place to place, the specific price should be consulted in the local market.

The reason why it is easy to die:

1. The water quality is not suitable

The demand for water quality of traffic light fish is relatively high, weak acid soft water can make it adapt, and the pH value is 5.0-7.0. The water in the tank had better be old water, which can only be trapped for 7 days. When changing water, you should change a small amount of water, not frequently and a large number of water, otherwise it is easy to cause fish not to adapt. Change the water every 7 days, about 30% of the water, pay attention to the temperature difference should not exceed 2 degrees. The water quality should be stable and the water temperature should not fluctuate too much.

2. Whether the culture density is too high:

It is recommended to raise 1 centimeter of fish in 1 liter of water. Under this condition, there is no need to increase oxygen. If your breeding density is very high, even if you increase oxygen, it is easy to cause dead fish.

3. Whether there is an infectious fish disease:

Traffic light fish like to live in water with high nutrient content. If the water in the fish tank is not changed for a long time, the feces of the fish will ferment, causing changes in the PH concentration of the water. If the content of nitrite in the water is too high, it will cause the traffic light fish to get sick and die. Therefore, usually we should pay attention to observe the body surface and gills of the fish, whether there are foreign bodies. Whether the fins are intact and whether the fish eat normally. Traffic light fish are relatively easy to get white spot disease and water mildew disease. If you find similar symptoms on the body surface, you should isolate the diseased fish for treatment, and you can go to the aquarium store to buy corresponding treatment agents. Usually, you can also add some mineral salt to the water, and then use nitrifying bacteria solution for sterilization and disinfection, which can prevent traffic light fish from getting sick.

4. Whether the external environment is too noisy:

Traffic light fish do not like places with too strong light, and usually like to be quiet, so when raising fish, you can't put the fish tank next to TV series, computers and other noisy places.

5. Is it suitable for mixed fish culture:

Traffic light fish are petite, timid and gentle, and are easy to be attacked and killed by other large fish, so when choosing other fish for mixed culture, you can not choose so aggressive fish. for example, map fish, tiger skin fish, dinosaur fish, ten fish and so on, it is best to choose some mild fish, such as kissing fish, rat fish, moonlight fish and so on.

6. Can the water temperature meet the requirements:

Traffic light fish also have higher temperature requirements, the appropriate temperature is about 25 degrees, less than 20 degrees, they will stop eating and die.

Warm reminder:

Traffic light fish like to move in dark places with lots of water plants. You can raise some water plants in the tank, put some sunken wood and so on. Aquatic plants are good at purifying water quality. Raising some shrimp can also help to eat the dirt formed by fish droppings and reduce the probability of disease of traffic light fish. In addition, the filter had better be on 24 hours a day, without the filter, raising traffic light fish is more difficult to succeed.

Water plants that can be placed:

Long leaves and nine crowns:

Long-leaf Nine Crown is a common aquatic plant, which is easy to grow and does not require too much light. The long-leaf nine-crowned grass has an elegant posture and is more suitable for cultivation in large and medium-sized aquarium tanks.

Erythema crown:

Erythema crown up to 100 cm high, oval leaves, 25 cm long, suitable for growing in an aquarium 45-50 cm deep.

Strange fern mousse:

Strange fern mousse is a kind of submerged aquatic plant that grows relatively slowly. it likes to be born on sunken wood or rocks and can grow normally in low light, so it is very suitable as a hiding place for shrimp and small fish.

Green chrysanthemum flowers and plants

Green chrysanthemum flowers and plants are suitable for growing in the middle and background. even if the light is dim, they can grow normally. They like to live in weakly acidic soft water with a water temperature of 22-28 ℃, which is very suitable for planting in an aquarium 45-50 cm high.

Xiao Shuilan:

Magnolia is a perennial marsh or aquatic herb, 3-10 cm long and 2-7 cm wide. It has strong adaptability and is suitable for growing in aquariums.

Dwarf pearls:

The length of dwarf pearl is less than that of 1cm, green creeping shoots with short root tissue, symmetrically growing spatulate leaves with long 0.8cm, wide 0.3cm, blunt leaf tip, slightly serrated, petiole almost as long as leaf blade. Can grow very thick, like the green prairie, is a very strong decorative foreground grass.
