The zebra dogfish, it is a species that belongs to the freshwater dolphin family. It belongs to the same kind of fish as the puffer fish that we have heard of and even eaten. However, because of the different stripes on its body, including its origin, we define it as a zebra dogfish based on the zebra-like stripes on its body.
The zebra dogfish belongs to the class of dogfish in the ornamental fish, and there are many of them, such as the hairy dogfish, the crown dogfish, and of course, the zebra dogfish, which are all relatively common. Of these, the zebra dog head is arguably the most popular fish because of its medium size, good interactivity, and affordability.
It's adult size is around 30 centimeters, which is basically what we can keep in our aquariums. You compare this size, we usually see in the aquarium store are basically some seedlings, about four or five centimeters, the price is also more appropriate.
Keeping this fish does not require a large tank at first, why? Because this fish's mobility is relatively poor. Let's see, it's hard for it to swim back and forth in the water. In fact, it is faster when feeding, usually rarely swim, with the growth of our fish body, we then change to a larger aquarium is not too late. That's why it's so important to gradually transition from a small tank to a larger one.
This fish we look at the picture we know, it is actually more ferocious character, is not recommended to mix with small fish, small shrimp. It is not recommended to mix with small fish and shrimp because it is its feed, so this fish is usually a monoculture.
But most of the monoculture fish friends like to bare tank. In fact, I personally, it does not look particularly beautiful. It is recommended to match a bit of sunken wood ah, water hibiscus ah, ginkgo grass and other good care of these things slightly embellished, so that it has a hiding place in the tank. Not only does it look better inside the tank, but it's also good for the fish's coloring. Because after it feels secure, its body color will gradually change and become brighter.
