Appreciating and raising ornamental fish is a very interesting leisure activity. Among the species of ornamental fish, because temperate fish do not require high water temperature and do not need to buy additional heating rods, many aquarium enthusiasts will choose to raise this kind of ornamental fish. What kind of temperate ornamental fish do you have? Common temperate ornamental fish are tiger skin fish, five-flowered lion head fish, butterfly tail goldfish, red and white Lanshou, longjing goldfish, red crucian carp, brocade carp and so on.


Ornamental fish have temperature requirements, between 26 degrees Celsius and 28 degrees Celsius, is the most suitable temperature range for the growth and development of tropical ornamental fish. In this temperature range, tropical fish have a strong appetite, good health and clear water. Below this temperature, tropical fish will slow down their metabolism, lose their appetite, shrink their fins and become inactive. Above this temperature, the water quality in the fish tank is easy to change.


Tiger skin fish is lively and active, does not have high requirements for water quality, likes to swim in the middle layer of the water, and grows well in the water temperature of 22-26 ℃. The flocks of tiger skin fish parade in the water tank, which is very spectacular. Tiger skin fish move quickly, and slow-moving tropical fish are often attacked by adult tiger skin fish, especially immortal fish, which have long and large dorsal and anal fins. Tiger skin fish like to bite such filamentous fins, so they cannot be mixed with them.


The five-flowered lionhead fish is short in shape, colorful in color, slightly inverted trapezoid at the top of the head tumor, and the developed head tumor looks like a male lion. When swimming, the fin tail unfolds like the ancient costume dance of Tiannu scattered flowers, charming and colorful. Many people like it because of its beautiful posture and huge head tumor, and it is often seen in family-raised ornamental fish.


Raising the five-flowered lionhead fish from an early age has also become one of the pleasures of raising this kind of fish.Butterfly tail goldfish is characterized by the eyeball is particularly developed, protruding beyond the orbit, swimming in the water, the beautiful caudal fin scattered with the water, like a dancing butterfly. It is very important to keep the water quality of butterfly tail goldfish. Secondly, butterfly tail belongs to shallow water fish. It is usually appropriate to add water 15CM-20CM in fish tank, and the maximum should not exceed 25CM, otherwise it will lead to the change of butterfly tail shape and decrease of ornamental quality.


In order to watch the effect, many people will spread sand in the fish tank, which helps to create an original ecological environment for raising ornamental fish, and is very helpful for some benthic fish that like to hide or small and medium-sized ornamental fish with strong domain consciousness. can quickly stabilize their state of mind and mood.


In addition, it will be more conducive to the hair color of some darker ornamental fish. For example, mini parrot fish, black fish, scavenger fish and so on, their body color will be relatively dark in the dark sand environment at the bottom of the tank, and if they are placed in the environment at the bottom of the white tank, their body color will become lighter, unlike their true color, and the appreciation effect will be greatly reduced.
