Fish discussion:
Tiger fish in Thailand generally refers to bright red snapper, which is named after its side with patterns similar to tigers. Also known as Three Sword Tigers, Nantos Fish, Siamese Tiger Fish, etc. It belongs to freshwater fish, chordates, skeletal animals, perciformes, pseudoscalefishes and pseudoscalefishes in the animal kingdom. It is native to the Mekong River basin and is a famous edible fish.
Morphological characteristics:
Tiger fish in Thailand is short and wide, almost square and flat on the side; The kiss is short and blunt; Small eyes, upper position; Big mouth, end position; The mandible is slightly retractable, and the jaw teeth are fluffy toothed belts; The lateral line is complete and parallel to the back edge; The hard spine of dorsal fin is connected with the soft strip, and there is a shallow notch in the middle; Chest position of abdominal fin; The tail stalk is short and the tail fin is fan-shaped; The body color is bright yellow, with three or four black ribbons running through the whole body and a black ribbon running through the eyes.
Distribution range:
Tiger fish in Thailand is native to the Mekong River basin and also distributed in Myanmar, Vietnam, Sumatra, Borneo, Cambodia and other places, but it was first introduced from Thailand. In addition, it has a tiger-like pattern on its side, so it is called Thai tiger fish by ornamental fish lovers. It is a famous edible fish in its origin, and has been widely introduced to all parts of the world as an ornamental fish.
Living habits:
1. Environment: Tiger fish in Thailand is a tropical fish, and the optimum water temperature is 23~26℃. It likes to live in an environment with fast flowing water, lush aquatic plants and caves. It is fierce and cannot be mixed with small fish.
2. Feeding habits: Tiger fish in Thailand is a carnivorous fish, mainly feeding on crustaceans, aquatic insects, larvae and small fish, and can be fed with fresh feed such as fish worms and red worms under artificial feeding conditions.
3. Reproduction: Tiger fish in Thailand is an oviparous fish, which is hermaphrodite. Eggs are fertilized in vitro. When laying eggs, the female fish first lays the eggs on branches, stones and other attachments, and then the male fish excretes sperm to fertilize the eggs.
Feeding mode:
1, fish tank: First of all, you should choose a suitable fish tank to let Ai Hu swim freely, because under normal circumstances, an 8 cm tiger cub can grow to 40 cm after more than two years of breeding, so you should choose a large fish tank to raise, and a fish tank of 1.5 m *0.6 m can meet the feeding requirements, so that.
2. Feeding: During the growing period, the tiger eats an amazing amount of food, so if it is fed more, there will be more natural feed residues. Therefore, it is necessary to choose enough filtration systems for Thai tiger fish to improve water quality treatment and meet the needs of water quality regulation. Few people keep only one tiger in an aquarium alone, and most tigers are mixed with other large ornamental fish.
3. Water quality: Thai tigers have strong adaptability. After a long period of feeding, they can adapt well to the water temperature of 26~33 degrees, and the PH value can meet the growth requirements. But for Tiger Tiger, dissolved oxygen must meet the requirements. In the actual feeding process, with the continuous increase of water temperature, it is necessary to use aerobic equipment in time to create high dissolved oxygen water conditions.
4. Summary: In fact, the problem of how to raise Thai tiger fish is very simple. As long as the water quality is good, the water quality is stable and the dissolved oxygen meets the requirements, the tiger can grow healthily if it is fed normally!
