1. How big can the red tiger fish grow?

The red tiger fish is a large predatory ornamental fish, generally with a body length of 35-50 cm, and everything should be based on the actual breeding conditions.

2. How to keep the red tiger fish?

In the process of keeping the red tiger fish, the water quality environment and feeding are the most important. The water quality environment is the basic condition for the survival of tiger fish, but tiger fish do not have high requirements for water quality, only strict requirements for the oxygen content in the water.

The red tiger fish also very much likes new water and can live in a water quality environment with a pH between 6.5 and 7.5 and a water temperature between 22°C and 26°C, so pay attention to the frequency of water changes and the amount of water changed.

After the fish are placed in the rearing container, the most basic daily work is feeding. The feed eaten by the red tiger fish is mainly pellet feed, whose advantages are comprehensive nutrition, an easy-to-control feeding amount, and that the water quality is not prone to deteriorating; the size of the pellets varies according to the different varieties of ornamental fish.

For ornamental fish kept at home, generally feed once a day, and the feeding amount should make the fish about 70-80% full. The feeding time can be chosen during the most leisurely time of your day.

As long as you pay attention to regularity, just do not feed at will. Note that it is best not to feed at night, otherwise it is easy to cause indigestion. If you forget to feed the fish because of something, just feed normally at the next meal.

The red tiger fish has a relatively fierce temperament and likes to bite other fish, so when mixing species, you must pay attention, so as not to affect the growth of other fish.
