Tilapia does not recognize its owner. They live in the wild for a long time, or are raised by specialized breeders. They are used as a food fish and are rarely used as ornamental fish. They rarely come into contact with humans. Even if they are raised as ornamental fish, they will not develop feelings for their owners. They will only form a conditioned reflex to ask for food after being with their owners for a long time.

How to raise tilapia

1. Use a larger water tank (more than 1 meter) as much as possible to control the water quality and facilitate the growth of the fish.

2. Fish have an excellent appetite and grow rapidly. An effective filtration system is required to ensure water quality and prevent fish diseases. Before using tap water, aeration or water purification agent must be added to remove chloride and harmful substances. The water quality of pH7 and the water temperature of 28°C are the ideal environment for raising fish.

3. Purchase some oxygenation equipment to increase the oxygen content of the water and make the fish more energetic.

4. Add a little salt to the water and change the water frequently or regularly, twice a week, to stimulate the rapid growth of fish.

5. When feeding tilapia feed, follow the principle of "eat less and eat more". Feed 2 to 5 times a day. The amount of each feeding should be controlled so that the fish can finish it within 5 minutes to avoid Leave leftover food to prevent the occurrence of gastroenteritis. The food is mainly frozen blood worms, supplemented by frozen shrimps and colored bait, which can achieve the desired effect.

6. In addition to normal light, lights should be turned on for 4 hours every day. Daily lighting can be controlled at about 10 hours, which has better effects on fish health and color expression.

7. Laying a layer of bottom sand in the fish tank will not only help stabilize the water quality, but also help the coloring of tilapia, especially red and colorful sand.
