If you want to raise cichlids in Sanhu, you must first determine its species, and then use appropriate water according to the species. Most of them like weakly alkaline water, and the PH of the water should be maintained above 7.5 when breeding. If the freshwater bream is raised, the PH of the water should be maintained above 8.0. The water temperature should be controlled between 2 1-29℃ and not too low. If the temperature is very low in winter, it is necessary to maintain the water temperature with heating rods to prevent them from freezing.
