What should we pay attention to when raising piranha?

The water tiger is a kind of fat carp produced in South America. It has been developed into a snail fish for aquarium enthusiasts for some time. Its The English name is "PIRANHA", which means "fish with teeth". This can also show that piranhas have different characteristics from other fish. Therefore, piranha breeding is not as easy as other fish. Only careful management of piranhas can bring out its due characteristics.

Piranhas are divided into two categories: genus P, which is raised in groups, and genus S, which is raised alone. Each genus has many species. The cheapest one is the red-bellied piranha. This fish is very thick-skinned and has lax requirements on water quality.



1. Filtering



Because Galaxin water tigers are raised in slightly acidic water, when the water becomes dirty, it proves that there is a problem with the filtration system. After checking whether the pump body is working normally, whether the nitrification system is decomposed, etc., it will cause the filtration system to be overwhelmed. A more common solution is to install a filter cartridge and combine filtration with the original filtration system.



2. Temperature

< p style="text-indent:2em;">The temperature in the breeding of Galasin water tigers is not excessive. 22 to 29 degrees is not a problem. When sick, it is not a problem to temporarily raise the temperature to 31 degrees. However, in areas with hot summers, attention must be paid to temperature regulation. 

3. Water quality

< p style="text-indent:2em;">Piranhas are completely The pH value is between 6-7. What is different from other guinea fish is that Galaxin piranhas are very sensitive to the environment. ResistantIt is relatively strong and will not get sick quickly when the environment is not suitable, but it will show up in the body color. Therefore, paying attention to the changes in body color of Galaxin water tigers can indirectly understand whether the water quality has deteriorated. 

4. Feeding



Although the Galatian water tiger will eat anything, the selection of feed is also very important. Here we can divide the Galatian water tiger feed into There are three major categories, namely live bait, artificial feed for water tigers and animal feed. Live bait includes annual shrimps, red worms, mealworms, water worms, small fish and loaches, etc. There are many kinds of artificial feed for Galasin water tiger, such as pellets, flakes, beef heart burger pellets, etc. There is also an autonomous animal feed, but this is mainly made by professional players, such as beef heart burgers, chicken hearts, fish and shrimp pate, etc.



5. Mixed culture



The last thing is the mixed culture issue that everyone is most concerned about. Due to competition among the fish, the problem of appetite can be said to be solved to the greatest extent; at the same time, due to the large space required for polyculture, the movement space of the fish is also protected; the strong feeding and boldness of the P genus Movement gives the S genus the greatest support function, and the maintenance of the S genus is naturally relatively worry-free. However, because this method is relatively difficult, there is a huge element of luck in the successful combination of polyculture, and the mutual attacks caused by the failure of polyculture are also quite bloody and tragic, so it cannot be unanimously accepted as a mainstream method. . 

In addition, the selection of S fish species for polyculture must also be considered. In the case of Indian soldiers, Relatively gentle fish species such as black food are the main species, and fish species that are too obvious in scale such as Xingu are best avoided. Because the cost, risk, expense, etc. of this breeding method are relatively large, the breeding of S water tigers is not yet mature in China. At present, it is mainly overseas players who are trying this breeding method.
