What do you eat to grow up?

Swallow fish eat miscellaneous, mainly animal food, small live bait, small insects in the water and water surface, as well as artificial bait. Due to the strong jumping ability of swallow fish, the food is mainly animal food. Swallow fish are difficult to reproduce and lay eggs on fine-leaf aquatic plants.

How old can you grow up?

The body length is generally 5cm to 6cm, but there are many kinds of swallow fish, and each species has a different body length, such as neon swallow with a body length of 2.5cm. The silver spot swallow is 9 centimeters long, so it is hard to be sure, but the swallow fish can only grow to 9 centimeters at most.

Male and female discrimination skills:

The fast erythema in front of the head of the male swallow is very obvious, very bright, while the female swallow is very shallow, some of them can not even be seen, and the male's head usually bulges a big bag. Mothers are generally bigger and have a bigger belly. When raising this kind of fish, if it is found that the male and female are close to each other, the anus is protruding, and other fairy fish are not allowed to approach, it is a sign of spawning and reproduction, and they should be picked up and placed in a prepared spawning box in time.

The spawning box should choose a large aquarium as far as possible, the water depth should not be shallower than 40CM, the length and width should also be the lowest limit of 80CM and 40CM, and the water quality is the same as that of fish culture water, but the water temperature should be raised by 1-3 degrees, that is, 27-29 degrees. Another attachment of the egg should be prepared in the spawning box-stainless steel, ground glass or plastic, which can be placed at a 45-degree angle with the box wall in the center of the water body and at the 20CM under the water surface.

Culture skills:

1. The fish tank should be quiet: swallow fish need a wide body of water, a quiet environment, and a lot of water in the tank, so that the water quality can be maintained. More fish, less fish will be lonely, fight, schools of fish are not easy to get sick. Fish grabs food is a sign of health, less fish without competition, for a long time, eat not actively, it is easy to get sick. Just like the only son is delicate, the child has too much skin and solid. If there are too many fish, the filter must keep up, otherwise the water is easy to mix. Therefore, you have at least 5 pairs of vats.

2, bare tank or semi-naked tank: you can put some high-grade fake grass in the naked tank, about 30 yuan per tree in the aquarium shop, sand release will affect the cleaning. If you put more grass, you will put less fish, mainly to watch the scenery, and the fish is just a foil. If you mainly cultivate fish and appreciate the swimming posture of fish in the water, you can't put more grass or even no more grass. You can't have more fish and grass at the same time.

3. Feeding: do not feed the fish within 2 days after entering the tank, and do not always turn on the lights. After two or three days to feed some blood worms, do not feed nematodes, nematodes will be contaminated. After the blood worm is bought, soak it in permanganate for 10 minutes (the water turns purplish red), rinse clean until the water is clear, then drain, put it in a wet towel and put it in a fresh-keeping box, then put it in the fresh-keeping layer of the refrigerator without freezing. Do not feed too much, we are playing with fish, not selling fish, fish grow too fast and boring, once a day can be fed, each time 5 minutes to eat, when there is a fish hesitant, show that full, next time reduce the amount until just right. It is very important to feed the fish at a fixed time, quantity, location and quality.
