First of all, the size of Siniperca chuatsi should not be too large, otherwise it needs a large water body capacity and more filtering equipment to maintain water quality. Some species of mandarin fish suitable for keeping in fish tanks include small Asian mandarin fish, small North American mandarin fish and small South American mandarin fish.
Secondly, only under suitable conditions can China mandarin fish live in fish tanks. This includes water quality, water temperature, water flow and feeding mode. Siniperca chuatsi needs high-quality water, so it is necessary to choose suitable filtering equipment, and regularly carry out water quality testing and water change. Water temperature and water flow also need to remain stable. Generally, mandarin fish need to keep the water temperature between 22-26℃ and provide enough current to simulate the natural environment.
In addition, mandarin fish need proper feeding methods to simulate their feeding habits and lifestyles in the natural environment. This may include the provision of proper bottom feed and proper housing. Mandarin fish are lively, but they also need a quiet place to hide, so appropriate decorations (such as caves, rocks, wood, etc. ) is also very important.
In a word, if you want to raise mandarin fish, you need to provide suitable conditions and environment, including suitable water quality, water flow, temperature and shelter. At the same time, we should buy mandarin fish from reliable sources to avoid overfishing and illegal trading of wild mandarin fish.
