seasonal flower fish is a common name for mandarin fish.

Fish and seasonal flower fish are the same kind of fish, but they have different names. Mandarin fish, also known as osmanthus fish, seasonal flower fish and crucian carp, is a famous specialty fish in Guangxi. Siniperca chuatsi likes to live in the sandy bottom with fast-flowing water and clear water quality, feeds on small fish and shrimp, has a fierce temperament and grows rapidly, and has the habit of lying sideways in the cave under the lake during the day.

seasonal flower fish is one of the common fish growing in China, which refers to the fish in the genus Siniperca. This kind of fish has a tall and flat body, a big head, a big mouth and a bulging back.

Living habits:

Siniperca chuatsi is a completely freshwater fish, and likes to inhabit rivers, lakes, reservoirs and other clean water bodies with lush aquatic plants. It usually lurks in the bottom of the water during the day and moves around for food at night. I don't like long-distance wandering and migration, and I don't like to live in groups. The suitable water temperature for life is 15 ~ 32℃.

However, some scholars have shown that the specific growth rate of Siniperca chuatsi increases with the increase of temperature in the range of 1 ~ 25℃, but there is no obvious change between 25 ~ 35℃. When the water temperature reaches 35℃, the growth of Siniperca chuatsi does not slow down obviously, which is related to the research results of the relationship between general fish and water temperature.

that is, in a certain temperature range, the feeding rate and growth rate of fish increase with the increase of water temperature, but when the water temperature exceeds the optimum water temperature, the feeding rate and growth rate of fish will decrease inconsistently, which indicates that the optimum growth temperature of mandarin fish may be wider.
