It is very nice to watch beautiful and funny fish in the aquarium - it is not only interesting, but also perfectly calms the nervous system. Of the unpretentious, it is worth highlighting a bright fighting fish, which has a rather restless character if more than one male is in the aquarium. The beautiful rooster fish has a fairly bright color, and in males it is more saturated than in females. And the fins of females are not as chic as males.
Such a fish has a special organ, thanks to which it does not need to add additional air to the aquarium. A small capacity tank is suitable for keeping - only six or seven liters of water is enough to make the rooster fish live in comfortable conditions, although, of course, large aquariums look prettier . This beauty loves warmth, therefore, if the room is cold, a special heater should be lowered into the aquarium. The most comfortable temperature for keeping such a fish is an indicator from 24 to 26 degrees.
If a rooster fish has appeared in your aquarium , caring for it is quite simple, but, nevertheless, there are some conditions that should be observed. So, one of the main requirements is the presence of only one male per aquarium. Otherwise, the capacity will have to be divided by partitions into several compartments - their number depends on how many males you decide to have in one aquarium.
Do not forget that rooster fish loves not only warm water, but also soft, non-rigid. Such a fish should have free access to atmospheric air. Therefore, plants floating on the surface are best placed on one side, fencing them off the side of free water. Unfortunately, rooster fish does not live very long - only two, maximum three years. Therefore, everything must be done so that this beautiful inhabitant stays in your aquarium for as long as possible.
Such a fish eats various feeds - it can be dry or live food, as well as frozen. In the usual diet there are bloodworms and crustaceans, as well as a tubule and dry food. But the most favorite delicacy of this fish are worms and crustaceans. The most affordable and common food is bloodworm. It must be fresh and alive. In order to prevent it from sinking to the bottom during feeding, you can use a special floating feeder.
Before feeding the cockerel with crustaceans, rinse them with running water in the net. Dip a few pieces in a jar of water and at a slope send it to the aquarium. The crustaceans will emerge from there and will be an excellent treat for fish. Make sure that they do not overeat, limit the amount of food and divide the daily portion several times. To ensure that the nutrition is complete, alternate feeds. The main part of the diet should be live food, and frozen bloodworms and dry crustaceans - a small additive. Such a fish should be accustomed to a new feed gradually.
The finest addition to your aquarium will be the rooster fish, its content is quite simple, although it requires compliance with some rules. She was called a Fighter because of the fact that there are hot fights between males of this species. Before this, the fish show off in front of each other with their bright outfit and chic fins, showing their maximum size. Then the males violently pounce on each other and inflict swift and tangible blows - they can even tear each other's fins. Although they are recovering after a few months. To cheer up your pet in the aquarium, it is worth showing him through the glass the reflection in the mirror. He will take him for an opponent and will gladly show you all his fighting beauty.
