Map fish can be mixed with fish such as parrot fish, lucky fish, seven-star saury fish and lucky cat fish.
Parrot fish are relatively ferocious, so choose ones of similar size to keep with map fish, otherwise they will get injured in fights.
Lucky fish has relatively thick skin, does not have high requirements for water quality, and has a good temper, so it is easy to get along with map fish.
Seven-star saury has a large appetite and needs to be fed every day when kept in mixed culture to avoid fighting.
The lucky cat fish is a bottom-dwelling fish and is not likely to conflict with the map fish.
1. Parrot fish Parrot fish is a relatively common ornamental fish with very bright colors. It also looks beautiful when mixed with map fish.
They are both tropical fish and have basically the same requirements for water quality, so putting them together will not cause discomfort to either of them.
However, since both are relatively ferocious, they must be raised with similar size, otherwise one will become the delicacy of the other.
2. Lucky fish Lucky fish, like map fish, are very solid-skinned fish and have low requirements on water quality and are very easy to raise.
This fish is oval in shape, with a gray-brown body, and its pelvic fins are mutated into two filament fins. The color is light red, and it is very beautiful.
In addition, they have good tempers and are quite lively and active, so they can get along well together.
3. Seven-star swordfish The seven-star swordfish has a very unique appearance. It has black spots on its body and looks like a knife. Its head is small and pointed, and its tail is somewhat upturned.
Its temper is also very gentle and will not compete with map fish for food, so it is not easy to fight, which ensures the safety of mixed culture.
However, its appetite is not small, so you must pay attention to feeding it, otherwise it will easily starve.
4. Lucky Cat Fish The scientific name of Lucky Cat Fish is red-tailed catfish. You can tell from its long beard that it is related to catfish.
This fish has a red tail and can make a cat-like sound when adults.
Since it is a bottom-dwelling fish and map fish live in the middle layer, they rarely conflict and look very beautiful, so it doesn’t matter if they are kept together.
