White-spotted pike belongs to the order Salmoniformes and family Pike, and is distributed in the cold water river basin of Xinjiang, my country. In recent years, it has been cultured in Xinjiang, Hebei, Sichuan, Zhejiang, Guangdong and other places. White-spotted pike has the characteristics of tender meat, few spines and delicious taste.
The white-spotted pike is a cold-water fish. Under natural conditions, it lives in relatively cold places. The most suitable temperature for the growth of the white-spotted pike is between 20 degrees and 22 degrees. When the temperature exceeds 28 degrees, the vitality of white pike will become particularly poor, so it is best to use cold water to breed in ponds. And some water lilies should be placed in the pond as shade. The best thing to do is to put some aquatic plants in the pond to prevent them from cannibalizing themselves.
If you raise white pike artificially indoors, the environment is not difficult to control. They do not have high temperature requirements and do not need heating equipment at all in winter. However, in summer, if the indoor temperature exceeds 30°C, the water body should be properly cooled, such as placing some ice cubes in the filter tank. The flow rate of the water body should be slow, and the pH value should not be low. A neutral or even weakly alkaline environment is acceptable.
The white-spotted pike is a very typical predatory fish. Under natural conditions, the young fish are docile and often live in groups. They mainly feed on rotifers, small cladocerans and copepods. and other plankton; when the body length reaches 5 to 7 cm, it will prey on other fish, and the adult fish will live alone. Feeding year round. During the reproductive period, food intake is stopped. Appetite becomes more intense after the reproductive period.
White pike ambush their prey, move quickly and are fierce in nature. When raising artificial fish tanks, it is necessary to maintain sufficient dissolved oxygen. They can only be kept in tanks with predatory fish and ornamental fish, such as alligator gar, red-tail catfish, paparazzi whales, etc.
