I. Suggestions on the environment for raising Luohan fish
1.
1. Pay attention to the water temperature
The best water temperature is 30-32 degrees. It is necessary to maintain such a relatively high temperature for many years to maintain a good condition. This is also one of the necessary conditions for Arhat to start.
2. Pay attention to the bottom sand
The best bottom sand is coral sand. It is generally believed that coral sand makes the water slant and helps the fish to start, but there is a recent saying that it is because of Luohan Because of its resistance to alkaline water quality, I started with personal experience that coral sand is indeed the best.
3. Change the water frequently
Frequent water changes can stimulate the growth of fish. I change 1/4 of the new water every 4 days, except when the temperature is very low. Fish may temporarily shrink their heads after the water, but they usually recover and develop in better condition the next day after warming.
4. Natural feed
Fresh natural feed is the best feed, such as shrimp and blood worms. It is recommended that you feed half of the commercial feed and half of the fresh natural feed every day. Fish grow very well.
5. Deeper water level
Deeper water level can create a stable environment, which is very obvious to the start and state of Arhat. It is recommended to use the actual water level of 60CM or even higher. High deep water tank.
6. Need natural light
The tank should not be placed in a position lacking natural light, so that fish are prone to disease, and the truth that all things grow depends on the sun, I believe everyone understands, but it cannot be placed too much. In places near the window, the backlight is dazzling when looking at the fish, and it is easy to grow green algae.
2. Feed suggestions for Luohan fish
1. Red worms
Red worm is an excellent live bait for Luohan fish, with high protein content, but also high bacterial content. However, it should be cleaned before feeding, and those with conditions should be sterilized by ultraviolet rays, otherwise it is easy to make Luohan fish sick. If you buy too much at one time, you can also wash the remaining part and freeze it for emergencies. It can be directly fed after thawing when in use. 2. Crickets
Cut off the thighs of the purchased crickets, then raise them in larger containers and feed them with carrots. Many parts of crickets are not easily digested by Luohan fish, so they are not easy to be used as a staple food, and are only fed occasionally to supplement calcium. After eating crickets, the feces of Luohan fish are mostly powder.
3. Loach
Loach is easy to preserve, just put it in the water and raise it temporarily after buying it. Change the water every 2 to 3 days without feeding. Before feeding, the loach must be cleaned and sterilized. It must be stunned before feeding, and it is only suitable for feeding large and medium-sized ornamental fish.
4. Fish and shrimp
If feeding live shrimp or fish, Luo Han fish is the favorite. This bait is nutritionally complete and very suitable for the fish's taste. In particular, shrimp is not only nutritious, but also plays a role in the excellence of Luo Han fish. It is better to feed red grass goldfish for live fish, which can have a good effect on the color of Luohan fish.
5. Frogs
Frogs contain a lot of calcium, which will make the bones of Luohan fish stronger after feeding. It is best to choose a small frog. Before feeding, it is best to hit the frog on the head a few times to make it faint, so as to prevent the head of the aquarium fish from hitting the aquarium wall when chasing the frog. In addition, frogs are not suitable for frequent feeding, and occasional feeding is appropriate. Long-term feeding will make the body of Luohan fish black.
6. Beef heart
Beef heart is rich in protein and is a high-quality bait for Luohan fish, and one of the bait that Luohan fish likes. It can be fed during the breeding period of Luohan fish to enhance resistance strength and reproductive quality. In addition, pay attention to the preservation of cattle hearts, and be sure to avoid feeding spoiled cattle hearts.
7. Silkworm chrysalis
Silkworm chrysalis is rich in protein and fat, and is a good animal bait, but the amount of feeding should not be too much. fatty liver, etc. When breeding broodstock, the feeding amount can be appropriately increased to facilitate the development and spawning of broodstock. In addition, silkworm pupae will be oxidized, and oxidatively deteriorated silkworm pupae must not be fed.
8. Mealworms
Mealworms have high nutritional value, rich in protein, hormones, calcium and scales, and are good animal bait. ?I hydatid has the highest content of calcium and scales when pupating and just shelling, and the color of the scales will increase after eating the Luohan fish, making it look more beautiful.
9. Barley bugs
Sometimes, in order to enhance the color of Luohan fish, barley bugs, carrots or artificial bait with red pigment are also fed. The basic nutrients of barley worms are roughly divided into 62.44% water, 17.89% fat, 17.41% protein, and 6.80% cellulose. These nutrients are very beneficial to the growth of Luohan fish. Barley worms are generally better to feed Luohan fish just peeled, because the shell will be easier to digest.

Good artificial bait is rich in nutrients, reasonable in combination, and easy to feed. It is recommended to buy some artificial bait and use it with natural bait.
