1. Viviparous killifish such as peacock, red arrow, and Mary lamp. However, when raising peacocks together, you must pay attention to a habit of lantern fish. It likes to chase and bite the peacock's tail, which eventually leads to the damage of the peacock's tail and causes unnecessary damage. Another very important point is that viviparous killifish often suffer from some diseases, such as fried scales, white spots, etc. At this time, lantern fish in the same tank may also be infected, so please be careful when mixing them. But one thing I have to say is that killifish have the skills to remove oil films, so you can choose one or two species that you like and have short tails that are not prone to disease, such as native peacocks, to be mixed with lantern fish.

2. Oviparous killifish are generally annual or perennial killifish from Africa, excluding rice field killifish: Although some oviparous killifish are included in the range of lantern fish, there are also A large part are still not considered lantern fish. However, oviparous killifish are generally larger in size and aggressive, and may even eat lantern fish, so be careful when raising them in polycultures! Generally, it is best not to keep medium-sized killifish mixed with lantern fish.

3. Short snapper, someone asked me a long time ago how to make the lantern fish swim better. I once told him to keep a pair of short snapper in the lantern tank, but after thinking about it, it was still not considered. Generally, short snappers are territorial and are most aggressive when protecting their eggs. They will also eat lantern fish when they are hungry. Therefore, it is not recommended that you keep lantern fish and short snapper together. Of course, there are exceptions, such as the crown chessboard. Short snapper such as , Lan Xiu and others can still live in peace with lantern fish.

4. Rat fish and some lantern fish are small in size and are easily injured and infected and die. If the tank is too small, the lively nature of rat fish will inevitably cause the lantern fish to be injured, and some aquarists have suggested that, The life span of lantern fish mixed with rat fish will be shortened. Although it is not scientific, lantern fish still like to be quiet in some cases, so I somewhat agree with this view. However, if your tank is large enough, it is also very easy to raise rat fish. If necessary, the rat fish can eat the remaining food of the lantern fish without worsening the water quality.

5. Aliens and aliens have different feeding habits. When mixed with lantern fish, it is best to choose carnivorous or omnivorous aliens to avoid vegetarian aliens eating meat-eating feeds and causing ascites.
