1, different shapes
Military fish are distributed in the waters south of the Yangtze River in China. The scientific name is Spinibarbus glabra, also known as the green stick fish and the yellow Juan fish. The military fish has a cylindrical body and a blunt kiss. The biggest difference from grass carp is that grass carp has no whiskers, while military fish has two pairs of whiskers.
Grass carp, mainly distributed in plain areas, is an important breeding object of aquaculture and one of the four major fish in China. Grass carp is a genus of Cypriniformes, Cyprinidae, Yarrow subfamily, also known as pomfret, grass root and thick fish. Grass carp has a bluish yellow body, a broad flat head and no whiskers.
2. Different living habits
Army fish generally inhabit the bottom of the water area, have a lively temper, like to live in groups where there are rocks in the bottom water area, and have high requirements on water quality, so it is difficult to breed. Army fish is an omnivorous fish. Its main food is aquatic plants, such as algae and freshwater mussels, and it also eats some aquatic insects and its larvae.
Grass carp, on the other hand, generally inhabit the middle and lower waters and aquatic plants near the shore, and are lively and like to feed in groups. Grass carp generally feed on aquatic insects and algae, and also eat some carnivorous foods such as earthworms and dragonflies. Moreover, grass carp, because of its simple diet, low requirements for bait, rapid growth and high yield, is widely cultivated in fish breeding industry in China and is also an important stocking object in ponds and reservoirs.
3. Different fishing methods
The fishing position of swordfish is generally chosen in places with fast water flow, such as the gate of reservoir and near the vortex of water flow. Moreover, the endurance of the swordfish is relatively poor. Although the explosive force is relatively strong during the first time, as long as the fisherman can control it in the previous period, after a few minutes, the swordfish will have no strength. At this time, the swordfish can sneak to the shore. Because the swordfish is slippery, it is best to copy it with a net.
The fishing position of grass carp is about 2 meters near the water with aquatic plants. Grass carp knows by its name that it is a grass-eating fish, and usually likes to live near aquatic plants, where fishermen can catch grass carp better.
