CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Which is more expensive, Mandarin fish or Osmanthus fish?

1. Which one is more expensive, Mandarin fish or Osmanthus fish?

Because Mandarin fish and sweet-scented osmanthus fish are the same kind of fish, they are equally expensive. The Chinese name is Mandarin fish. It has a flat body, a bulging back, a thick body and a pointed head. It is one of the four famous freshwater fish in my country. The fish has tender meat, few bones and a lot of meat. Its meat is petal-shaped and tastes delicious. The price of Mandarin fish ranges from 40 yuan to 60 yuan per catty.

2. Why can’t sweet osmanthus fish survive in the fish tank?

When raising mandarin fish in a fish tank, you only need to pay attention to the following two points:

First, tap water needs to be left to stand for more than half a day before use (and the sediment underneath needs to be removed), or it can be dechlorinated using chemical dechlorination methods.

Second, seawater essence (quality is very important) is a special salt for feeding seafood, so it cannot be replaced by ordinary table salt. The temperature should be normal room temperature, after all, this kind of fish is not as delicate as ornamental fish.

The price of mandarin fish is generally around 40 to 60 yuan per catty. Due to different regions and constant changes in production volume, the price of mandarin fish will also change accordingly.

Osmanthus fish is also known as seasonal flower fish, and its scientific name is Mandarin fish. It likes high-quality water with a weakly alkaline pH value of about 7.2-8. The living environment requires a slight flow of water, high dissolved oxygen content, and especially a stone cave or sunken wood to hide in. Because it is in the same family as the Thai tiger, you can refer to the feeding method of the Thai tiger. In our local area, in the summer, under high pressure and hypoxia conditions, dead Mandarin fish can be seen in reservoirs and lakes. When fishing, live bait such as loach, small live fish, live shrimp and black earthworms can be used to catch them, which is enough to prove that this fish is a carnivorous fish that chases food. By the way, I have also raised many wild Mandarin fish that I caught, and the longest time I kept them in a cement pool was one month. Therefore, I think Mandarin fish needs a large water space, not a fish tank.

Osmanthus fish is very popular because it has very high requirements for the living environment, so it is recognized as the cleanest fish. Therefore, it has very high requirements for water quality and needs to be disinfected. Osmanthus fish is fed with feed fish, and the feed fish must be fresh and alive. There are also strict requirements for its size and specifications. Ordinary grass carp cannot be eaten by osmanthus fish because they carry bacteria.

In short, the requirements are quite strict, otherwise it would not be sold at such a high price. It is also not suitable to be raised in a fish tank and requires deep water.

Mandarin fish fry must be fed with palatable bait within 1-2 days of swimming. The best bait is the bream (Wuchang fish) or ling (Melco bream) 3 days after the fry has shed its membrane. These two fry are small, slow-moving and easy to be eaten. The bream (Wuchang fish) is widely used in Hubei, while silver carp is mostly used in Guangdong in the early period (March-April), and ling (Melco bream) is mostly used in the later period (April-May).

When the water temperature is above 25℃, it takes 5-6 days for mandarin fish to be induced to spawn and for the young to start eating. It takes 2 days for bighead bream (Wuchang fish) to hatch from induced spawning. Therefore, generally the first batch of bighead bream (Wuchang fish) or dace should be induced to spawn 2-3 days after the mandarin fish is induced to spawn, and then a batch should be induced to spawn every other day. Of course, there are also farmers who buy fish pellets from outside.

The fish for feeding are the fry of the bighead bream (Wuchang fish) or the grass carp fry that have been deveined for 24-72 hours or 24-60 hours. The density of the fish for feeding is 15 times that of the fry of the mandarin fish, so that the mandarin fish fry can be preyed upon when they open their mouths. Prepare the breeding pond for feeding fish at a ratio of 1: (2-3), and stock the crucian carp, bighead bream (Wuchang fish), silver carp, bighead carp and other species that are easy to breed and catch and are favored by the mandarin fish. Stock 500,000 to 1,000,000 fish per mu. Clean the ants by pulling the net in batches and feeding in small amounts multiple times. Screen out the fish species of suitable size and feed them to the mandarin fish fry according to the amount after disinfection.

You can keep them alive. I have already kept seven. I personally think it's because the water temperature changes too much. Find a place to put the mandarin fish you caught into a bag and oxygenate it. Then put the bag in the fish tank and soak it for half an hour. Then take the fish out and put it back into the fish tank. If it dies again, it means it was starved to death by you. The water temperature cannot change too much. In winter, keep the water temperature at around 28° like tropical fish. This is purely hand-typed, and I hope you will adopt it.

In short, the requirements are quite strict, otherwise the price of the locust tree would not be so high. It is also not suitable to be raised in a fish tank, and requires deep water.

3. What are the conditions and costs for breeding mandarin fish?

The conditions and costs of breeding mandarin fish are:

1. Mandarin fish breeding conditions

1. Pond conditions

The pond area is generally 2-4 mu, the water depth is about 2 meters, and it is mainly rectangular. The bottom is preferably mainly sandy loam, and the water quality should not be too fertile, because mandarin fish has high requirements for dissolved oxygen in the water. Finally, the pond must have a certain amount of flowing water, not stagnant water, and the water temperature must be between 15-32℃. Such a pond is more suitable for breeding mandarin fish.

2. Density conditions

The density is generally determined by the breeding conditions and technical level. It is generally recommended that the stocking density of 3cm mandarin fish summer flower fingerlings be 15,000-22,500/hm2.

3. Water quality conditions

The water quality should generally meet the conditions of sufficient water source, away from polluted areas, clean water, sufficient dissolved oxygen, etc. In addition, mandarin fish is very sensitive to acidic water, so the pH value should be measured regularly to keep it between 7.5-8.5.

4. Feed conditions

Mandarin fish is a typical carnivorous fish. Usually, you can prepare enough small fish, shrimps, loaches, etc. Secondly, you can also feed some insects, such as earthworms, mealworms, red worms, etc., which are all good high-protein feeds.

2. The breeding cost of mandarin fish

The breeding costs of Mandarin fish mainly include the purchase of seedlings, bait, site rental, breeding management, etc. Generally, the fry are about 3-10cm. According to the price of 8 yuan for 10 osmanthus fry, the cost of early osmanthus fry is 1,600 yuan, the cost of mid-term osmanthus fry is 3,200 yuan, and the cost of late osmanthus fry is 4,000 yuan.

Usually the cost of raising Mandarin fish is: the cost of raising early Mandarin fish is about 3,600 yuan, the cost of raising middle Mandarin fish is about 5,200 yuan, and the cost of raising late Mandarin fish is about 6,000 yuan.
