It is necessary to plant some aquatic plants in fish tanks to raise wheat ear fish, which can simulate aquatic plants in wild waters.
In addition, some of them are relatively large, so we should prepare enough space for activities when breeding, and don't restrict their growth.
How big this fish can grow is closely related to the environment in which they grow. Generally, the adult body length of farmed fish is between 7- 10 cm, and rarely exceeds 10 cm. However, the wild wheat ear fish is relatively large. If they live in comfortable streams and rivers, their body size may reach 20-30 cm. But there are also some wheat-ear fish whose living waters are polluted, so their bodies will not grow very big. In order to make them grow bigger and ensure a comfortable environment in the early stage, it is best to feed more nutritious food to the family-raised wheat-ear fish.
