With the development of economy, more and more people not only raise cats and dogs, but also start raising all kinds of ornamental fish. Peacock fish is one of our favorite ornamental fish, but if we only raise peacock fish, the aquarium is too monotonous. So the question is, what fish can peacock fish be mixed with?

First of all, guppies are most suitable to be raised in weakly alkaline or neutral water at 22 ℃ – 24 ℃. If you want to find ornamental fish mixed with them, you must find fish that can also be raised in such a required water body, so as to ensure that their living habits are the same and ensure their life safety.

Secondly, the peacock fish has a mild temperament, so the fish raised with it must also have a mild temperament, and small and medium-sized ornamental fish are better. If the fish with fierce temper is put in, the tail and fin of Malachite may be damaged; If a large ornamental fish that eats small fish is misplaced, the peacock fish may be eaten as “fish food”.

Finally, peacock fish like to swim in the upper layer of the aquarium. Breeders can raise some ornamental fish that like to swim in the middle and lower layers of the aquarium. Of course, in mixed breeding, we must pay attention to the feeding density. No matter how big the aquarium is, it has space constraints. Fish farming still needs to provide them with a comfortable and spacious living space.

Small lamp fish, rat fish and cherry fish are the best choice for mixed culture with peacock fish. Among them, small light fish are not aggressive, timid, like living in groups, and mostly swim in the middle and lower levels. When swimming in groups, they have a strong sense of appreciation and are cheap; The pike is petite, swims very slowly, swims mostly in the lower layer, and has strong vitality; Cherry fish will deepen and then become more bright when they are in estrus, and they are timid, quiet and non aggressive. They won’t fight even if they repel other fish. Of course, there are many ornamental fish suitable for mixed culture with peacock fish, which are only the most common kinds of fish.

Choosing mixed fish is just like looking for roommates. Remember to choose carefully for the “happiness” of peacock fish and the “unity and harmony” in the aquarium.
