Starfish prefer an environment with good lighting, sandy bottom or broken coral bottom, and live rocks.
Different types of starfish have different requirements for water temperature and pH value. First of all, you must buy an aquarium that can adjust the water temperature. Adjust the water temperature and PH value according to the type of starfish, and place small fish, shrimps and other marine animals and plants that can grow with them, but they cannot be kept with freshwater fish.
Some starfish are carnivorous, and some are omnivorous. The food is dried seaweed, clam meat or meat slices, which can be placed near the starfish or under its body when feeding.
The starfish cannot be seen moving in the first place. It slowly asks for sand and often changes the water for it.
It is a carnivorous creature that mainly preys on shellfish, sea urchins, crabs and seawater. Slow-moving marine life such as sunflowers
It is very simple to raise starfish. As long as the water quality is not very poor, no special care is generally required
What to feed is also very simple. If the starfish is relatively small, ,
Go to the market to buy "live" clams (marine, small, live),
throw them directly into the tank, and dig up one every 2-3 days. Throw it into the tank, and it will crawl over and eat it after a while.
If the starfish is relatively large, observe it for a few days to see if it will dig up the clams on its own.
If there is a similar situation, you should lie on top of the clam, but the number of empty clam shells does not increase. If so,
it should be that the clam is too big to dig, so you need to help it dig it out.
You must remember to feed it regularly, otherwise it will be hungry and eat everything.
It is still not recommended to raise starfish. I kept a chocolate starfish for half a year.
It ate about 3-4 pounds of clams for me, which is more than the clam soup our family eats for half a year. More!
He also ate me a fungus that was almost 5 centimeters in size and was dividing and reproducing...gt; __lt;
If you just want to raise one but don’t choose a species, go to the beach. Just pick it up.
It reproduces very quickly in the natural environment.
Please accept it, thank you
