Suitable water temperature: 25～27℃. Water quality requirements: total hardness (gH): 2-6dGH, pH (pH): 5.0-6.0. To feed the chief short bream, it is necessary to add black water to treat the water quality, or place grass mud pellets in the filter system as a filter material. Chief short snapper likes old water and does not require frequent water changes.
