1. Equipment. Tiger fish is a large fish species, reaching a size of 5 or 6 centimeters, and can eat and pull. Therefore, it is best to choose a large fish tank with a size of 1.5*0.6*0.6 or above. The filtration system should be powerful and equipped with an oxygenation pump if necessary.

2. Environment. Tiger fish are actually very timid, so the breeding environment should not be too noisy. The body color of tiger fish will darken in a stressful environment. The background color of the fish tank is preferably white or gray, blue. Will a black background cause the tiger fish to be as black as the background?

3. Feeding. Tiger fish eat fiercely and eat a lot, and they like fresh food, such as small fish, shrimps, loaches, etc. However, live feed contains parasites, and long-term feeding in large quantities can lead to parasite infection. Therefore, for the health of the tiger fish, we can feed it with frozen fish, shrimp or loach segments. If it doesn’t want to eat it, we have to train it to eat it. If it is hungry, it will eat it if it gets impatient!

4. Water quality. Maintaining water quality is very important. Deterioration of water quality will cause the body color of tiger fish to darken, greatly reducing the ornamental value, increasing the risk of illness, and even sudden death! It is very important to develop the habit of changing water regularly. After changing the water, you can add an appropriate amount of salt.

5. Extra chapter. There are many types of tiger fish on the market, but Thai tigers are the most popular and more expensive. Therefore, many businesses will pass off Indonesian tigers and northern Thai tigers as tigers, causing many novices to be fooled. So it is necessary to talk about their differences: the Thai tiger has a broad body, good body proportions, clean and neat lines, three black lines, which are wider, and the ratio of black and yellow lines can be one to one. The Indonesian tiger and the northern tiger are slender and thin, with fine black lines. In fact, if you observe more, it is still easy to distinguish.
