Breeding scavengers water temperature below 10 degrees Celsius is almost death, preferring weakly acidic soft water, suitable for water temperature of 2 0 ℃ or more, the breeding period in the temperature of 25 ° to 28 ° is the best.
The dissolved oxygen requirement of the water body is not high, coupled with the breeding of low yields than conventional freshwater fish, so water quality management is relatively simple. After stocking, water is added or changed every 7 to 10 days, with each water change of 0.2 to 0.3 meters, and the water transparency of adult fish ponds is controlled at 0.3 to 0.4 meters.
Before May and after October, the water quality can be slightly thicker, May-October water quality can be slightly lighter, more conducive to fish growth. The water transparency of the fish breeding pond is controlled at 0.2 to 0.3 meters to cultivate the natural bait in the water body and create a good ecological environment for the healthy growth of fish.
Expanded Information:
Scavengers are native to Latin America, named for the variety of underwater debris they feed on, and are often mixed with a variety of fish.
Adult scavenger has a huge appetite, in addition to moss and other algae, it will also feed on the eggs of other fish, can eat 3000~5000 fish eggs a day, will also swallow the fish fry. It often adsorbs on rocks and glass in the aquarium to stabilize its body and suck up algae and moss.
When nutritious and tasty fish insects and fish food are put in front of their eyes, they will never look at those residual bait dirt.
