1. Is mandarin fish easy to raise?

Mandarin fish can be fed with pellet feed in artificial breeding.

Mandarin fish, also known as Guiyu and Jihua fish, belongs to the order Perciformes and the genus Siniperca. It is widely distributed and breeds in major rivers and freshwater lakes. Mandarin fish has tender meat, few bones, delicious taste and rich nutrition. It is a delicacy on banquets and is favored by consumers. Not only can a small amount of mandarin fish be mixed in ponds to remove wild fish, but it can also be raised in special ponds. It is one of the popular species in freshwater aquaculture.

1. Living habits

Mandarin fish is a typical carnivorous fish. When artificially fed, it can be fed dead fish, dead shrimp, etc. Male fish mature at the age of three, and female fish mature at the age of four. Its growth rate is relatively fast, reaching 50-100 grams in the first year, about 0.5 kilograms in the second year, and 1-1.5 kilograms in the third year.

2. Pond conditions

The pond for breeding adult mandarin fish should be 3 to 8 mu in area, with a water depth of more than 1.5 meters, and about 2.5 meters in summer. The bottom should preferably be sandy loam with less humus, sufficient water source, fresh water quality, and preferably flowing water. The dissolved oxygen content of the pond water should be more than 5 mg/L, the pH value should be 7 to 8, and the transparency should be more than 30 cm.

3. Bait fish cultivation

The area for bait fish breeding is 3 to 4 times that of the mandarin fish pond. Considering the palatability and economics of mandarin fish, bait fish are generally selected from silver carp, crucian carp and other species, and the stocking density is 300,000 to 500,000 fry per mu. After the fry are released, they do not need to be fed immediately. When the number of zooplankton decreases and the fry are foraging around the pond, they can be fed with soy milk or other feed. In the early stage of breeding, feed is added when it is eaten up, and in the later stage, the size of bait fish should be controlled, and the length of bait fish should be controlled between 1/2 and 1/3 of the body length of mandarin fish.

Generally, when stocking 8 to 10 cm long mandarin fish, the size of bait fish should be controlled at 3 to 4 cm.

2. What kind of fish is this? What does it eat and how to raise it? Is it worth raising?

Bamboo shell fish, usually hiding in the cracks of rocks

3. I heard that feeding raccoon dogs with Fengyu feed can help them grow to 18 kilograms. Is this true?

It’s true. The manufacturer has promised that if you don’t gain 18 catties, the manufacturer will compensate you for your losses.

4. How much feed can 100 female raccoon dogs eat in a year?

100×200 is just an estimate
