Pelteobagrus fulvidraco mostly inhabits the shallow water area around the lake with slow-flowing grass and rivers entering the lake, and lives in benthos, especially in still water or slow-flowing shoals with a lot of humus and silt. Omnivorous, mainly animal feed under natural conditions, feeding on zooplankton in fry stage, feeding on insects and their larvae, small fish and shrimps, snails and mussels in adult fish, and swallowing plant debris.
Extended data:
The survival water temperature of Pelteobagrus fulvidraco is 1 ~ 38℃, and it is uncomfortable at 0℃. When it sinks into the water, it rarely moves and breathes weakly, and it dies after 3 days.
Discomfort occurred at 39℃. The fish lost its balance, with its head up and tail down, and its breathing became weak from fast to weak, and it died about 1 day. In the range of 8 ~ 36℃, the temperature has little effect on the survival rate of Pelteobagrus fulvidraco, but it has a great relationship with the growth. Although Pelteobagrus fulvidraco can eat a little at low temperature, it basically does not grow. Its growth temperature ranges from16 to 34℃, and the optimum range is 22 to 28℃.
Water temperature has a significant effect on its feeding, and the initial feeding water temperature is 1 1℃. At low temperature, the feeding rate of Pelteobagrus fulvidraco increased with the increase of temperature. When the temperature rises to 29℃, the feeding rate of Pelteobagrus fulvidraco decreases with the increase of temperature. The optimum feeding temperature of Pelteobagrus fulvidraco is 25.28℃, and the feeding rate is 4.06 ~ 4.36%. When the experimental temperature is 26℃, the maximum feeding rate is 4.36%.
