If it is a precious species, the water temperature is 25-26 ℃. Moonfish like neutral and weak alkaline water, with a hydrogen ion concentration of 39.81-100 nmol / L (ph7-7.4). When it is found that the moon fish cannot swim slowly, add some salt into the water (1-2 teaspoons of salt for every 10 liters of water).
Moonfish is gentle and easy to raise. The temperature of 22-28 ℃ is the best, and the extreme temperature should not be lower than 16 ℃. It likes weak alkaline water. The pH of water should be kept around 7.4, and a little salt can be added when replacing new water.
