Fish Friends want a variety of fish in their aquariums and bright colors. However, if the fish species with different feeding habits and the fish species in the water are put together, it is easy to fail and even cause diseases. I have collected a lot of knowledge on how to raise mixed fish here, let's take a look!

1. Considerations and reasons for mixed fish farming

1. Understand the fish Waters

The polyculture of fish should be based on the PH value and GH value that different types of fish are adapted to. The polyculture of fish should first understand the living environment of the fish to avoid unnecessary losses. Water in Asia, Africa and Australia is alkaline water, and in America it is acidic water.

2. Discomfort with different dietary habits

The food of ornamental fish is divided into live food and feed, and fish with different dietary habits are also not suitable for polyculture. deterioration. For example, carnivorous fish are highly aggressive and easily bully the fish that eat feed, which can also cause damage to the fish. Therefore, it is not recommended to mix fish with different feeding habits.

3. Consider the character of the fish

The character of the fish should also be taken into consideration when mixing different fish. It will inevitably cause harm to the weaker party. The problem of polyculture also needs to understand the aggression and degree of polyculture of the fish.

4. Pay attention to the difference in body shape

Whether it is the same species of fish or different species of fish mixed together, pay attention to the difference in body shape. The weak are at risk of their lives.

5. Different temperature between hot and cold fish

Avoid mixing cold water fish and tropical fish, this is the most basic knowledge.

6. Monoculture of specific fish

Some of the ornamental fish can only be raised alone, and if they are multi-cultured, a big problem will occur. Therefore, to avoid such things from happening, we must remember those fish that cannot be mixed, including dog head fish, Luohan, red dragon, and golden dragon.

2. Which ornamental fish are suitable for polyculture

1. It is easy to polyculture cichlids

The fish of this family species are generally aggressive , polyculture is easy and the diet is single is the ideal polyculture species, but because of its wide distribution, it is necessary to know the water quality they are adapted to in advance.

2. Mixed Arowana Fish Species

Different types of Arowana are easier to be mixed with other fish, but the ideal fish to be mixed with Arowana are Sanjianyu, Knife Catfish, catfish and fish are ideal for polyculture.

3. The salamander must be polycultured

The salamander is a soda fish, they must be polycultured, suitable for alkaline water, and easy to feed on fish and shrimp.

4. Galaxin homobreeding

Large Galaxians can only be mixed with other Galaxians. Yun Jun?

5. Mixed breeding of similar water tigers

Except for S water tigers that are raised alone, P water tigers can be mixed with different types of water tigers, and it is common There are red-bellied, yellow-bellied, black-spotted, rouge, etc. varieties, generally based on cheap red-bellied water tigers, with some rouge water tigers.

6. It is easy to raise lampfish.

This kind of fish is suitable for raising in aquarium with aquatic plants, and brine shrimp is the best in the feed. There is no species limit, and it is easy to raise.

7. Polyculture of the same species of immortals

The colorful angelfish has high requirements on water quality and a docile personality, so it is only suitable for interbreeding with other species or immortals of the same species.

3. Precautions for polyculture of ornamental fish

1. Reasonable spatial distribution

For polyculture, pay attention to the distribution of fish in the upper, middle and lower layers of the fish tank. Be careful, otherwise the visual effect will be much worse. Try not to have more than 5 types of fish in a tank, preferably 3 or 4, and not too many.

2. Prominent for mixed culture in the same tank

If one type of fish is the main ornamental fish, the others are foils, and the color of the fish is appropriate in 3 and 4, such as the typical combination of black, white and red , the effect is very good. If you pursue the group swimming effect of small fish, at least 20 fish can swim out of momentum, and 1-2 big fish with slower swimming speed are enough.
