CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Can pufferfish be raised in China?

Hello!!

1: You can raise pufferfish.

However, it is not recommended to raise them individually, because pufferfish are ferocious and timid. When the living environment is bad (such as insufficient bait, too high stocking density), they often kill each other. This killing habit is especially serious during the seedling cultivation stage. Its esophagus has a special structure, so when it encounters an enemy or is frightened, it inhales air and water, causing its chest and abdomen to swell like a ball, with small thorns on the surface erected, floating on the water surface pretending to be dead, in order to defend itself. When it is safe, it quickly discharges the air and water in its chest and abdomen and swims away quickly. In addition, it has the habit of gnawing teeth, and will make a "cuckoo" sound after being caught. Under natural conditions, it mainly feeds on aquatic invertebrates, and also eats other animal and plant baits. It is an omnivorous fish with a partial animal diet. Under artificial breeding conditions, it can also eat artificial compound feed after being trained.

2. Pufferfish breeding conditions:

The best water temperature for breeding is above 18℃. When the temperature is 16℃, the feeding rate will obviously decrease. When the temperature is 11℃, the feeding rate will stop. The most suitable water temperature for growth is 25℃～28℃. The dark-striped oriental fish has high requirements for dissolved oxygen in water. The dissolved oxygen in the pond water should be above 5～7 mg/L. When the dissolved oxygen in the pond water is 3.0 mg/L, the fish will float slightly. When the dissolved oxygen in the pond water is below 1.5 mg/L, the fish will die if not handled in time. The pH value of the pond water should be 7～8, and the transparency of the pond water should be 40 cm.
