What are the water quality requirements for raising African three-lake cichlids?

To raise fish, you must first raise water. Water is the necessary basis for the survival of the three-lake cichlids. Just like people cannot live without air, water quality also directly affects the health of fish. Due to climate and geography and other factors, the three major lakes in East Africa have formed an alkaline and high-hardness water environment. Therefore, the water quality required for the breeding of three-lake cichlids is also a special type of tropical ornamental fish. The pH of the cichlids in Lake Tanganyika needs to be maintained at around 8.0, preferably between 7.8-9.5, and the pH of the cichlids in Lake Malawi and Lake Victoria needs to be maintained above 7.5. The hardness also needs to be between 12-15. The pH and hardness can be increased by using special cichlid salt. The water temperature should be maintained between 23-27℃. Each lake has a variety of complex habitats, and the water quality cannot be generalized. It needs to be analyzed based on the species of cichlids in the three lakes and the habitat.

Generally speaking, the water temperature is 23-28℃, the hardness is 9-11dGH, the Ph value is between 7.2-8.0, and the adult fish is generally 4-26 cm long.

The three-lake cichlid belongs to the class of bony fishes, the family of Cichlidae in the order of Perciformes. Among the fish species in the world, it can be said that the family of Cichlidae is one of the most successful fish species in evolution. It is found in all major waters around the world, with a total of about 200 genera and more than 2,000 species. It is the family with the largest number of species among bony fishes. Cichlids are native to tropical Central and South America, Africa and the West Indies. They have been introduced to all parts of the world because of their extremely high ornamental value. Now they are the most common exotic fish species in tropical and subtropical regions. Among them, the cichlids living in the three major lakes in central Africa (the three major lakes in Africa refer to Lake Tanganyika, Lake Malawi and Lake Victoria) have become the best choice for ornamental fish species because of their ever-changing colors, strong physique, elegant body shape and superb ability to adapt to water and soil. This is the three-lake cichlid that we usually know.

The Three Lakes Cichlid belongs to the class of Osteichthyes, the order of Perciformes, the family of Cichlidae.

Cichlids are native to tropical Central and South America, Africa and the West Indies. They have been introduced to all parts of the world because of their extremely high ornamental value. Now they are the most common alien fish species in tropical and subtropical regions. Among them, the cichlids living in the three major lakes in central Africa (the three major lakes in Africa refer to Lake Tanganyika, Lake Malawi, and Lake Victoria) have become the best choice for ornamental fish species because of their endless colors, strong physique, elegant body shape, and superb ability to adapt to water and soil. This is the Three Lakes Cichlid we are usually familiar with.

Generally speaking, the water temperature is 23-28℃, hardness is 9-11dGH, and the Ph value is 7.2-8.0. The average length of adult fish is 4-26 cm.

How to farm sea bream?

Snappers need alkaline water. You can add some shells and corals to increase the hardness and alkalinity of the water.

Suitable temperature: 23-32℃

Hardness: 9-11dGH

Ph value: 7.2-8.0

You can place a sea bream tank for it to hide and maintain water quality. It is a relatively easy sea bream to raise.

Sea bream, true sea bream, Sparidae, true bream genus is also called Jiaji fish, Qianggaobang Jiaxiao Xiangji, Jiazhen sea bream, copper basin fish. Jiaji fish belongs to the class of fish, the family of Sea Bream.

The body is tall and laterally flattened, more than 50 cm long, silver-red with light blue spots, green-black behind the tail fin, large head, small mouth, upper and lower jaw teeth conical in front and molar-shaped in the back, body covered with ctenoid scales, dorsal and anal fins with hard spines.

It is produced along the Chinese coast, but the main producing areas are Dadonggou in Liaoning, Qinhuangdao in Hebei, Yantai, Longkou and Qingdao in Shandong.
