The origin of Yimeidao Mermaid
Puntius denisonii is produced in streams in western India. It is a rare small fish species of the family Cyprinidae. The adult body length is between 12-15cm. This beautiful carp officially entered the aquarium world through aquarium exhibitions in 1997. It first appeared in the aquarium market in Hong Kong at the end of 2003. With its eye-catching body color combination and unique living habits, it still maintains strong popularity so far. The Yimei Taoist's body length and beauty make him an irreplaceable protagonist of a large grass tank, which is what he was missing before. Flying fox, this also shows that he has a similar feeding habit to Crossocheilos siamensis, a black-lined flying fox specially designed for cleaning grass tanks, that is, cleaning algae. This characteristic has also become one of the important conditions for Yimei Taoist to be the protagonist of the grass tank.
History
1. It officially entered the aquarium industry through the aquarium exhibition in 1997, and officially appeared in the aquarium market of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region at the end of 2003.
2. Most of the individuals appearing in China are wild species. There is already a fishery breeding in Southeast Asia, but because the fishery controls female fish, and the breeding output of this fish is very small, we can only see male fish but not female fish. As for its high price, the small output must be the main reason.
3. We usually hear two voices from breeders about their experience in raising this fish: it is difficult to raise and it is very easy to raise. In fact, this species does not have high requirements for water quality or temperature, and it is a fairly easy species to raise. The reason why it is said to be difficult to raise is probably because merchants sell it before it is stable. Although it is a strong carp, it looks like a lotus lantern during long-distance transportation. The ones that are stable when imported are quite stable. If the disease is unstable, it will be difficult to guarantee survival no matter how much you take the medicine, and one or even a few of them will gradually die without you seeing any symptoms.
As a pet fish, the Yimei Taoist first appeared in British aquariums. At that time, its scientific name was Barbus denisonii. At that time, it was expensive because it was a rare commodity.
This beautiful carp officially entered the aquarium industry through an aquarium exhibition in 1997, and officially appeared in the aquarium market of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region at the end of 2003. After being launched on the market, Yimeidaoren quickly swept the world's aquarium market with its eye-catching body color matching and unique living habits, and was widely welcomed by aquarium enthusiasts.
Although Yimei Taoist has a larger size in the aquarium, due to years of outdoor life, the individual is naturally timid. In his daily activities, he is particularly strong in group swimming and swims very fast. He likes to swim in the sun. They are active during the day and are not picky about their feed. It is also particularly interested in the green thread algae and black hair algae in the aquarium. This is quite similar to their relative, the black-lined flying fox, so it also has another common English name: DENSION’s FLY FOX (Denison’s flying fox).
