Living habits

Phyllostachys pubescens is one of the rare economic fish in the Pearl River system. It is a mixed herbivorous fish, which is green in color and likes duckweed, vegetables and young leaves. In the fresh and flowing deep water, people don't like to swim on the water surface or shallow water level, and often live in fast-flowing rivers or ravines.

The ability to resist hypoxia is poor, and the requirements for dissolved oxygen are similar to those of herring and carp. The optimum water temperature is 18 ~ 25℃. The fish is omnivorous, and grows slower than herring and grass carp, especially at 0 ~ 1, but faster at 1 ~ 2.
