The following aspects should be noted when raising Tiger Fish:
Environmental Requirements: Tiger Fish are suitable for being raised in large water bodies. The larger the water body, the better, as they grow rapidly and have a big appetite. The fish tank should be at least 1.5 meters long or even larger, and a powerful filtration system is needed to keep the water quality clean. Although Tiger Fish have relatively undemanding requirements for water quality and water temperature, correct temperature acclimation and water treatment are required before they are put into the tank to help them adapt to the new environment quickly.
Diet Management: Tiger Fish have a large appetite and need to be fed regularly. Common feeds include loach, small fish, etc. However, attention should be paid to disinfection when feeding, and live baits with sharp spines or hard shells should be avoided to prevent scratching the stomach and intestines of the Tiger Fish. It is recommended to use frozen loach instead of live loach to reduce the pollution to the water quality in the fish tank.
Water Quality Management: The suitable pH value of the water for Tiger Fish is between 6.5 and 6.8. Water depth is also an important factor. High water pressure is beneficial to the health of Tiger Fish. Keeping the water quality clean, regularly changing the water, and avoiding sudden changes in water quality are the keys to ensuring the health of Tiger Fish.
Disease Prevention: Tiger Fish are prone to diseases such as lying at the bottom of the tank, refusing to eat, and having cloudy eyes when they are under psychological stress or when the water quality is poor. Through careful management and observation, these problems can be prevented.
By paying attention to and managing the above aspects, the survival rate and health condition of Tiger Fish can be effectively improved.
