How to raise piranha?

Piranha, also known as piranha and Pomfret, is famous for its ferociousness, commonly known as "wolf tribe in the water". It feeds on fish and drowning animals, and there are also records of attacking people, but some similar species (such as red fin Pomfret) only eat fruit and seeds and have a very high IQ. When they hunt, they will first attack the tail and eyes of their prey. Let's take a look at how piranhas are raised.

What food does piranha eat?

Piranha live in the mainstream and large tributaries, with wide rivers and fast currents. Adult fish mainly look for food at dawn and dusk, mainly insects, worms and fish, but some similar species only eat fruits and seeds, and their activities are mainly in the daytime. I will rest in a sheltered place at noon. Individuals hunt for fish of relatively small individuals, and in groups, they hunt anything that enters the water, including people, and they will actively attack anything that moves in the water, especially sensitive to the smell of blood. any smell of blood will provoke a frenzy of attacks by large groups of "piranha".

Breeding methods of piranha

During the breeding period, the parent piranha will lay more than 1000 eggs on the roots of trees in the water and hatch in 9-10 days. The parent fish will protect the eggs, and the flooding of the river will affect the success rate of hatching. Cannibal Pomfret raised in the aquarium is quite difficult to reproduce, which is why its price is so high, unlike the red fin Pomfret as cheap, 18 months of sexual maturity, male fish will be more colorful.

Culture methods of piranha

1. Breeding preparation: friends who want to start raising water tigers must make the following preparations before raising water tigers. First, they must know their own characteristics and varieties, and then decide whether P belongs to water tiger or S to water tiger. Then decide whether or not to have bottom sand. Of course, p is suitable for group breeding, while S is suitable for monoculture. This has to be chosen according to personal preferences and market conditions. Group breeders need to prepare their minds for internal friction, in which the red ascitic water tiger is the least, while monoculture is not easy to get out of the state, which requires a lot of attention from fish friends.

2, purchase method: all fish friends should know that it is very important to choose a good fish to start with, and how to choose and buy piranha is also an issue of concern to many fish friends, which can be selected according to personal preferences, price, health status and other aspects.

3. Fish tank selection: if you choose a piranha tank, you have to see whether you are going to raise a piranha or a piranha to determine the size, and the most important thing to choose a tank is to test whether the filtration system is strong, whether there is water leakage, whether there are scratches, whether the equipment is complete, and so on.

4. Water quality management: I believe that those who have raised fish will pay great attention to the problem of water quality. Of course, the raising of piranha is no exception. Because many piranha grow in the turbid water of the Amazon, the piranha has strong adaptability and generally grows well in soft water from weak acid to neutral water. Then there is the temperature. It is recommended that it should not be lower than 20 degrees, and it is best to keep it above 24-26 degrees all the year round.

5, fish food choice: piranha's main food is some frozen blood worms, small mud carp, Loach or some edible fish offal, pork or some pellet feed. As far as eating is concerned, P is generally not picky about food, small fish, meat and so on, in addition, feeding diversity will be of great help to the health and body color of the piranha.

6. disease prevention and control: piranha is a good breed to raise, but it will still get sick. We must do a good job of prevention before finding piranha in these troubles. If prevention fails to achieve results, we should learn how to treat it.
