[Foreword] Thai Douyu , you will know when you hear this name, it is aggressive. Two Douyu will fight to the death if you don’t win or lose. You will never give up.
Although Thai beef fish is aggressive, it is also a kind of ornamental fish because of its bright and beautiful appearance. Among the many betfishes, the "beauty" of Thai betfish is considered the best. Moreover, it is very special. The colors and patterns of each tail are almost different, so it is difficult to find two Thai betfishes with the same tail.
The same here mainly refers to the appearance. Just like there are no two identical leaves in the world, every Thai betta you have may be unique in the world.
Thai beating fish and peacocks have the habits of peacocks. Everyone knows the story of peacock fighting beauty. When the proud peacock sees its own reflection in the water, he displays a beautiful tail screen. The same is true for Thai Douyu. If you put a mirror outside the fish tank, you will find a magical phenomenon. It will "fight" with itself in the mirror, never admit defeat, and eventually die of exhaustion. Pay attention to this point, especially for girls, mirrors at home are everywhere.
Thai Douyu is also very friendly to newbies who have just entered the fish pit. It does not require too complicated equipment, and even filters are not needed. Having said so much, are you a little curious about it? Let’s talk about the breeding method of Thai beef fish in detail:
Step 1: Prepare a suitable fish tank
Thai beef fish is aggressive and easy to be injured, so there must be objects in the fish tank that can be avoided. They enjoy the feeling of lying on the leaves of water and grass. Therefore, the fish tank needs simple landscaping, and a layer of bottom sand is laid on the bottom of the tank to fix the roots of the water and grass.
Foreground, ear-piercing is a very good choice. Ear-piercing can swing back and forth with the water flow. Thai betfish swing back and forth with the ear-piercing. Just imagine, this scene is very comfortable. Choose a few rounded rockery rocks with edges and edges for the medium and back views, and the landscaping is completed.
You can fill the fish tank with oxygen in advance. Thai betta fish is aggressive. In order to avoid fighting, you should choose the largest fish tank as possible. However, it is a waste to raise Thai betta fish in a too large fish tank. The best way is to reduce the number of Thai betta fish to reduce the size of the fish tank, which is also convenient for raising at home.
Step 2: How to choose Thai Douyu
Select this step must be done well. It is related to the survival rate of Thai Douyu. Although it is easy to support, it is a flesh and blood body after all, and cannot withstand tossing. When choosing
, choose bright colors and keen movements. Put a few pellets of feed and you can immediately test it out.
Also, Thai beef fish in the aquarium are basically placed in a large tank, so fighting and fighting are inevitable. When choosing, you should carefully check whether there are any ruptures, incomplete, and wounded fins. Such beef fish can basically not live for a week if they are taken back.
Step 3: The water that the new fish enters the tank cannot be avoided
Pour the purchased Thai betfish and the water in the packaging bag into a clean empty basin, and slowly mix the water in the fish tank with the movement as light as possible.
When the ratio of water in the tank to water in the basin reaches 1:1, stop adding water and let the Thai beef fish swim in the basin for 30 minutes to adapt to the water temperature. After 30 minutes, take the beef fish into the fish tank.
Step 4: Control of water quality
Thai betfish like to live in acidic soft water. Although the conditions are like this, it has proved that after storing tap water for two days, it can live well in it. So don’t always be scared by those professional terms when raising fish. Everything is not as difficult as imagined.
The water temperature that is most suitable for Thai betfish living is between 22 degrees and 24 degrees. The low temperature limit that can tolerate is 18 degrees. If the water temperature is less than 18 degrees, a heating rod is required to increase the water temperature.
Step 5: Food and feeding
Thai betfish like live feed the most, such as water fleas, nematodes, bloodworms , etc., are all good choices, but long-term feeding, the owner's wallet may not be able to hold on.
In this case, artificial pellet feed is also a good choice. You only need to change the taste of Thai beef fish occasionally and add live feed. The two feeds are fed together, which is both economical and affordable.
Step 6: Selection of filter
Any small noise in the aquarium may cause the aggressiveness of Thai betfish, so it is best not to use a filter that makes water flow. It is best to use a sponge as a filter.
Put the sponge into the water, take it out slowly after a day or two, squeeze out the dirty water and the residual food in the fish tank. This can be done several times, or once a week, and change the water in a small amount and multiple times.
Step 7: Is it necessary to recharge oxygen? No matter which type of fish, it needs oxygen, the difference is that some fish can only breathe passively, and some fish can breathe actively. Thai betfish belongs to the type of fish that can breathe oxygen independently. It has auxiliary respiratory organs - pleated cheeks. When there is insufficient oxygen in the water, they can float to the water surface and breathe independently to ensure that they will not die due to hypoxia.
This feature makes fish lovers who like it love it even more. You should know that fish always die of hypoxia and suffocation at night. This period of time happens to be the time for humans to rest, and it is difficult to find and rescue. There is no doubt that Thai betfish that can breathe oxygen independently invisibly live longer than other fish.
Step 8: Mixed-raising Thai beef fish
Thai beef fish, its anal fin, caudal fin, dorsal fin is like a beautiful skirt connected together. When I first saw it, I thought it was a guppies.
Once it gets excited, the color of the entire fish body will be more bright and very beautiful, just like a cockfight. As long as two male fish meet, they must fight. They are like warriors, never to die. Even if the defeated side survives by chance, they are still dying, and their colors will retreat. Death is just a matter of time.
However, the winning side did not take advantage. The anal fin and caudal fin are already incomplete and no longer have the ability to fight with other male fish. Therefore, it is best to have only one male fish in a fish tank or raise more than five, so that you can try to avoid one fish as much as possible.
There will be no fighting between female fish, but female fish and male fish will fight. Therefore, if the fish tank is not big enough, try to choose female fish or more than five bet fish mixed. Never do not have two fish tanks in one fish tank. If this happens, you will have nothing.
Thai betfish only fight among the fish of their own tribe, and can get along well with other tropical fish. But there is a saying that it is easy to change the country, but difficult to change one's nature. Douyu is a Douyu. If the Douyu is very powerful, he will not care about what kind of fish you are, and he will not even let go of the ornamental snails in the tank. Therefore, it is best to keep a single tank of Thai Douyu, at least the number must be above three tails, and the "house" must be prepared for Thai Douyu in the tank to avoid attacks.
summary
Everyone loves beautiful things, but the more beautiful things are, the more dangerous things are. Fish is no exception. Such a beautiful Thai betfish also hides great aggression. Therefore, it is dangerous to raise Thai beef fish male fish and should be avoided.
Thai beef fish has a self-breathing organ, which lasts longer than ordinary fish. If it is well-raised, it can accompany you for a long time. It is said that companionship is the longest confession. If you raise it with your heart, you will definitely get a lot of surprises.
