When does a dragonfish develop color

In the case of the red dragonfish, there is actually no accurate time when the color develops, but usually when the red dragonfish reaches a body length of about 25 centimeters, it will begin to appear at the gill cover of the color of the signs of the color, at this time, the size of the range of the color is not the most important, it is important that the color to be The color should be deep.

When the red dragonfish reaches about 30 centimeters in length, the first scale frame in the front part of its body will start to develop color, and soon after that, the second scale frame will also develop color, and the color of the dragonfish's gill cover will continue to grow larger and deeper. At this time, some chinook keepers may think that the red chinook's coloration stops. Actually, it doesn't, it's just that the dragonfish coloring doesn't stop, it's just not obvious.

Once a red dragonfish reaches about 50 centimeters in length, its overall color will become more and more intense, but this process is long and torturous, because at this stage, some red dragonfish may be coloring well, while others may stagnate and even fade, which happens from time to time. Therefore, if you want to keep a high quality chinook, then you must be patient and keep insisting.

In addition, the color condition of the dragonfish is closely related to the water quality, bait and light. If you want the dragonfish to have good color, you must provide the dragonfish with stable and good water quality, rich and suitable bait and suitable light, which can seriously affect the color condition of the dragonfish.

However, it is important not to focus only on the body color of the chinchillas while neglecting their size development. The development of body shape is especially critical before the age of 3. After all, the coloration of the red dragonfish is a very long process, while its growth period is only a short period of 2~3 years. Therefore, in the juvenile stage, it is important to pay attention to their nutrition, if this stage does not focus on keeping their nutrition adequate, then they will not be very large in size in adulthood. Such a dragonfish, even if it is all bright red, will have less of that majestic and dominant aura.

So, Dr. Paw Paw reminds us not to focus on the hair color of the red dragonfish and neglect their health, after all, the growth period of the red dragonfish is limited, after this stage, it will be difficult to grow again. Before the red dragonfish is 3 years old, you need to pay more attention to its body state, otherwise even if the color of the adult fish is beautiful, it will be less imposing, and finally fall into a lack of beauty.
