Still better to raise native fish like this, and in recent years more people like to raise them. They are also relatively easy to raise in aquariums.
The snakehead is often unfamiliar to many people. In fact, it is a four-sided fish, and its coloration is very beautiful. The forehead is colored blue after being bleached, and the other parts of the body are red or green. In fact, it is a very common fish, and its distribution is widespread throughout the country. Many places have a distribution, and many children have caught it. It is unfamiliar because of its many dialects, and it is still not listed one by one.
The snakehead family, you think there are only common snakeheads and high-body snakeheads? In fact, this family is also related to the 'snake' family. The 'snake' is very similar to the snakehead, all four-sided, but their living habits are different, and the price is different. Should you choose to buy them? Here, 'Fish Talk' recommends everyone to choose Qi snakehead and high-body snakehead for practice. There are some high-body snakehead because of the feeding method of snakehead and snake are not much different, if you practice snake is very expensive, if you don't raise it well, but snakehead in the river is readily available. Snakehead can be raised well, then try snake. While Qi snakehead is a very easy-to-raise snake, it doesn't make much exaggeration, although the feeding difficulty of snakehead is lower than Qi snakehead, but it's still not much lower, it's similar in difficulty. Now let's get to the point.
High-body snakehead
High-body snakehead and common snakehead only have one difference, that is the difference in body shape. High-body snakehead has a high forehead, and common snakehead is flat. High-body snakehead is a large four-sided shape. However, the mother snakehead is not easy to see the high forehead. High-body snakehead belongs to the carp family, it likes to eat and is lively. High-body is also relatively demanding of dissolved oxygen, but if the density is not too large, oxygen pump is not a necessary equipment. I raise snakehead without filter, they live very well, during the day, algae photosynthesis, the water immediately has oxygen.
High-body snakehead is different from some high-breed varieties, such as volcanic snakehead. High-body snakehead is still very tough and can be tortured. And this fish won't jump out of the tank. Except when it first enters the tank or there are some aggressive fish in the tank. High-body snakehead has color throughout the year, but the color intensity of each season is different. In the north, the color is stronger and more beautiful in autumn and winter. In the south, it is generally blue all year round. However, snakehead and snake have a common defect, that is, 'love to stain white spots'. It's easy to get white spot disease. When white spot disease occurs, it can quickly self-heal. But some will worsen the disease, it's best to isolate it for treatment.
This is also why I don't like snakehead now. When the temperature difference is not large, it will get sick, it seems that this is its habit. But mostly, snakehead gets sick alone, it won't affect other fish. Fortunately, white spot is easy to handle, just take a medicine. Cold water fish is not recommended to warm up. In general, high-body snakehead is a very hardy fish that can be raised casually and easily. It can also remove filamentous algae, which is something that many fish cannot do.
Qi snakehead
Snakehead is difficult to raise? I think Qi snakehead may overturn your cognition about snakehead. Qi snakehead is distributed in Guangdong and Fujian provinces. Fujian province generally only has Quanzhou and Fuzhou because there are many mountains and good water quality. But not many, the population is not large. They are generally scattered in individual places. Qi snakehead has a characteristic appearance, which is that the fin below its tail has a black edge, and the edge has a yellow or red stripe, which looks very unique. Qi snakehead is the best snakehead among snakeheads, it's very appropriate to raise it in any tank.
Qi snakehead has a very cold resistance, it can survive at about 8 degrees. But there is one premise, that is, the temperature difference cannot change too much, otherwise white spot disease will come soon. Qi snakehead is relatively cheap, at least it is the cheapest among snakeheads. And tell everyone that Qi snakehead's shoal behavior is not less than snakehead, raising it in the tank, it will unite and swim together with the oxygen pump. Everyone can raise a few big snakeheads, such as long-fin snakehead, wide-fin snakehead, weird snakehead, but horseshoe snakehead is best not to raise, horseshoe will kill snakehead. These snakeheads are large in size, which can threaten small fish. Qi snakehead is not as resistant to torture as snakehead, so it's easy to get phosphorous and hurt. But overall, its rating is high. It can be a stepping stone for high-body.
