The living habits of the three lakes cichlid, how to raise the three lakes cichlid

Episode 1 The Monkey King Comes Out There is a fairy stone on the top of Huaguo Mountain on the coast of Aolai Country in Dongsheng Shenzhou. One day, the fairy stone burst into flames, shocking the earth, and turned into a stone monkey. This stone monkey is sensitive and intelligent, he befriended a group of monkeys and found a good place to settle down in the Water Curtain Cave.

The group of monkeys reveres the stone monkey as the Monkey King. In search of an immortal recipe for immortality, the Monkey King sailed a raft alone across the ocean to a fishing village. He found clothes, stole shoes and hats, and went to restaurants to drink and eat noodles, making many jokes and learning a little bit about people.

The Monkey King searched all the way, and finally climbed on the Lingtai square inch and met the Bodhi Patriarch in the three-star cave of the oblique moon. The patriarch named him Monkey King. Episode 2 The Dragon King and the King of Hades went to the Jade Emperor to complain, and the Jade Emperor sent the Tai Bai Xing Nether to appease the Monkey King and ask him to go to heaven to be an official.

Wukong happily went, and under the tricks of Wuqu Xingjun, the Jade Emperor made him Bi Ma Wen. When Wukong realized that he was just a horseman, he turned back to Huaguo Mountain in a fit of rage, pulled up the banner, and called himself the Monkey King.

The method of raising cichlids in the three lakes is to equip the tank with a high-power water pump as a filtration system, and nitrifying bacteria are also added to feed floating feed, and the water is generally changed once a week.

The original environment of the three-lake cichlid is alkaline, among which the horse bream and the sea bream are suitable for growing in an environment with a pH higher than that of the filial piety rock, and the tan sea bream must ensure that the pH exceeds 8. Only in this way will the color of the sea bream be more vivid, and if the water quality is neutral or weakly acidic, it can be improved by adding baking soda.

Different types of feed should be fed to different cichlids in the three lakes. If you have fish that live in the pelagic layer, you need to be fed a floating feed to facilitate its feeding. If rock-dwelling or formation-based fish are raised, they should be fed a submerged diet.

There are also some thin-skinned feeds that can float or sink to the bottom, which is not recommended because it is easy to be eaten by the fish in the upper layer, and the fish in the lower layer cannot eat it.

The longevity of the Three Lakes Cichlid Skill

The lifespan of the three-lake cichlid is also related to its species, with some of the more long-lived species living up to 15 to 20 years, while the more common species mostly live between 4 and 10 years. In general, with the exception of a few individual breeds, there is a positive correlation between their longevity and body size. The larger the breed, the longer the lifespan, and the smaller the breed, the shorter the lifespan.

The three-lake cichlid does not refer to just one fish, but to all the cichlid fish that grow in the three major lakes of East Africa, namely Lake Malawi, Lake Tangan Ika and Lake Victoria. There are more than 200 genera and more than 2,000 species in total, and different species have different body lengths. Some of these large varieties can be 60 to 70 cm long, while the more common medium-sized varieties are between 20 and 30 cm long, and the small varieties are about 10 cm long.

The three-lake cichlid is familiar with interacting with people, and is not afraid of people, and breeding is a very common time, so you can experience the fun of breeding.

Cichlidae (Kullander, 1998), cichlidae [pinyin]: [diāo] belongs to the class of bony fishes, a genus of fish in the family Cichlidae of the order Perchliformes, that is, what we call the family Cichlidae.

Among the world's fish species, the cichlid family is arguably one of the most evolutionarily successful fish species, with about 200 genera and more than 2,000 species found in all major waters of the world. It is one of the most important species in the family of bony fishes.

Lake Tanganyik cichlids.

Lake Tanganyika is the world's oldest and second deepest beautiful lake, an endemic fish population in Lake Tanganyika, located in the Great Trench of East Africa.

The survival of these cichlids of different sizes lies in the fact that they have a variety of predators and their own feeding methods, some eat small shrimp, others eat algae and other species of fish.

They survive because even though there are several different fish that are preying on the same food target, they each have different ways of predating, as if they are not competing with each other but taking what they need, so they can all survive together.

There are two ways to reproduce cichlids, some species are incubated and propagated, the female lays her eggs on the bottom sand, the male is fertilized, and the female fish then takes the fertilized eggs in the mouth to protect them, and slowly hatches juveniles. Other species are substrate propagated, where males and females lay their eggs in caves or shells in tanks, while females care for and hatch eggs, and males swim and patrol the vicinity. There are many varieties of three-lake cichlids, and the frequency of reproduction varies for different species.

Moreover, the suitability of the breeding environment will also affect the frequency of reproduction. In general, they are able to breed twice a year, but there are a few varieties that breed only once a year. However, there are some varieties that reproduce more often and can reproduce more than 4 times a year in a suitable environment.

Oral hatching and breeding: Male and female fish in the same tank will swim together to a relatively remote corner after looking at each other. The mother then lays her eggs on the bottom sand, the male is fertilized, and the female takes the fertilized eggs in her mouth for protection.

After that, the mother fish with eggs in her mouth will stay away from the school and will not eat. After about 15 days, the small fish can hatch. During the incubation period, care should be taken not to frighten the female, lest she swallow or abandon the eggs.

If you are more experienced, you can pick the eggs during the incubation period, take the eggs out of the mouth of the mother, and breed them separately for hatching.

Substrate reproduction: Males and females lay their eggs in caves or shells at the bottom of the tank. Sometimes they will make a sand nest and lay their eggs in the sand nest.

After that, the mother fish stays close to the spawning site and is responsible for caring for and incubating the eggs. Male fish swim and patrol near the spawning place to play a role in vigilance and protection. During the incubation period, the environment should be kept stable, and there should be no loud noise or large light changes to avoid scaring the fish.
