What kind of feed does peacock fish eat?

Peacock fish, also known as anchovies, rainbow fish, millions of fish, kubby fish, etc., are omnivorous small species with an adult body length of 3 to 5 centimeters. Because the peacock fish has a strong ability to adapt to the environment, it can be seen almost everywhere in the world. Artificial feed is often chosen in aquaculture. Let's take a look!

Artificial feed

At present, there are quite a number of kinds of artificial feed on the market, which are roughly divided into flake feed, pellet feed, and frozen feed. These feeds are the easiest to obtain and the easiest to feed. In addition, there is a feed specially developed for peacock fish, which should also be a staple food choice for most peacock fish owners, and the nutrients are also quite complete.

Live bait

The use of live bait has always been mixed, because the nutritional value of live bait is of course much better than that of artificially processed feed, but it is accompanied by safety problems, and as owners, we must be careful. otherwise, the sequelae will make you feel better than just feed.

Shrimp in bumper year

At present, the safest live bait should be the harvest shrimp (nauplius). The preparation time does not need to be too long, and it does not require too much formalities, but after hatching, it should be fed as soon as possible, because the most nutritious nauplii are just hatched with yolk sac, if the time is too long, the yolk has been absorbed by nauplius, so the nutritional value will be slightly reduced. If netizens have the habit of hatching harvest shrimp to feed peacocks, if they have more hatched harvest shrimp, they can be frozen. Next time, they can be used as long as they are thawed.

Water flea

Water fleas are also one of the common feeds for peacock fish. Water fleas can breed in green water. It is important to note that water fleas just collected from the wild had better not be fed directly to fish, because water fleas are the intermediate host of camel nematodes. Once parasitized by camel nematodes, it can not be solved in a few words.

Silk earthworm

The nutritional value of silk earthworms is very high. If you put some of them in a fish tank, you can survive for a long time and let your peacock eat constantly, so the peacock fish will grow quite rapidly and can also be used as bait to feed the medicine to silk earthworms and then to peacock fish. The effect is quite good. From this point of view, silk earthworms should be the most perfect feed, but since silk earthworms are collected from the wild, although some aquariums will first sterilize them, there is no way to guarantee that silk earthworms will not carry parasitic eggs, so users have to pay attention.
