Pearl finch is a fish species that grows quickly. In Lake Tangoik, Dohijia rests at the junction of rocks and sand. This kind of cichlid is extremely adaptable and prefers large aquariums of 200L or more, in darker and more cavernous environments. He has the respectable temperament of a king. Distributed in the coral reef areas of the East Pacific Ocean, it is omnivorous and can feed on algae, animal floating feed and artificial feed. It is suitable for a water temperature of 26 degrees, a seawater specific gravity of 1.022, and a maximum length of 31 centimeters.
Brief introduction
Pearl finches are one of the rarest sand-drilling bream in shallow water areas. They grow in rocks or shells, so they are also found on the edges of sandy rock transition areas. It is often possible to see paired individuals. Although it is a widely dispersed species, it has small geographical variability. The northern group is characterized by a red edge on the dorsal fin (young fish are black), while the southern group hasIt has a yellow border and the upper chin is yellow. Snails are one of its foods. Although under artificial conditions, he only eats small snails and eliminates the empty shells after being digested by gastric juice. However, there is also information that when he eats larger snails, he does not bite the shells into pieces but sucks the meat away. Take it out, and if you are interested, you can try raising one (if you don’t consider its harmfulness, it may be allowed to replace dog heads, dolls, etc. as a fish species to get rid of snails). Fish smaller than 6 cm may be mixed. Devoured.
Morphological characteristics
The body is long like a cannonball, with 5-6 columns of bright spots on the side of the body. The male fish is about 20 cm at most, and the female fish is about 15 cm. The body color is light brown to gray brown, with 5 to 6 pearly freckle-like lines. Pearl freckles spread from the gills to the tail, and each fin also has similar freckles. The edges of the dorsal fin and tail fin are also decorated with pearl freckles, which is particularly eye-catching.
