1. Aquarium selection: Choose an aquarium of appropriate size to provide sufficient swimming space. Consider aspects such as the aquarium's volume, filtration system, heating and lighting. Make sure the environment around the aquarium is stable and away from direct sunlight and areas with extreme temperatures.


2. Water quality management: Maintaining good water quality is very important. Use an appropriate filtration system and perform regular water testing and necessary water changes. Butterfly carp have high water quality requirements, usually requiring clarification, appropriate hardness and pH. Provides a suitable water temperature range (usually between 24°C and 28°C).


3. Feed selection: When raising butterfly carp, you can provide a variety of high-quality fish food, such as butterfly carp special pellets, fish fillets, freeze-dried worms or grass-fed pellets. A diverse diet helps provide rich nutrition and meet the taste preferences of butterfly carp.


4. Daily feeding: Feed the butterfly carp an appropriate amount of feed every day, and be careful not to overfeed to avoid water quality problems and obesity. Observe the appetite and behavior of the fish and adjust the amount and frequency of feed.


5. Provide enough hiding and swimming space: Provide the appropriate number and type of decorations in the aquarium, such as plants, caves, and rocks, to provide space for your butterfly carp to hide and explore. Make sure there are no sharp objects in the aquarium that could damage the fins.


6. Observation and health care: Regularly observe the behavior, appearance and appetite of butterfly carps. Watch for any signs of abnormalities, such as unusual color changes, symptoms of illness, or unusual behavior. If necessary, take appropriate treatment measures promptly.


In addition to the above basic feeding methods and methods, it is also important to understand the special needs and habits of butterfly carp. Different butterfly carp species may have some specific feeding requirements, so it is best to research and seek professional advice about the species before raising one.
