Bright yellow livery is uniform throughout the body, with golden reflections visible under moderate lighting.

Ideal habitat in aquarium and pond

• Minimum aquarium volume: 80-100L per adult; greater if in groups

• Minimum pond volume: 200-300L, free water from strong currents

• Filtration: powerful and constant, preferable pressurized external filter for aquariums, pond pump filter

• Bottom: rounded gravel or fine sand, safe for fins and mouth

• Lighting: moderate, sufficient for plants and to enhance livery

• Furniture: smooth rocks, bog woods, robust plants; Avoid sharp objects

Chemical water parameters

• Temperature: 18-23 ° C (optimal 20-22 ° C)

• ph: 7-8

• Gh: 10-18

• Conductivity: 500-900 μs / cm

• Ammonia / nitrite: 0ppm

• Nitrates: keep bass with regular partial changes

Behavior and coexistence

Fish pacific and sociable, ideal for groups of red fish or other quiet species. Not compatible with fast, aggressive fish or predators of small fins.

Power

• Pellets or specific flakes for goldfish

• Boiled vegetables: zucchini, peas

Shipping kit in the purchase of shrimp and snails

Expeditions of live animals (shrimp, snails, crustaceans and other invertebrates) are carried out only Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, to guarantee optimal transport conditions and minimize the times of stock.

For each order containing live animals it is mandatory to add the shipping kit, designed to ensure maximum protection during transport. The kit includes:

• Polystyrene container with high thermal insulation
• Double protective bag with oxygenation
• Thermal warmer (included in the coldest months)

Important: Acquarioshop.it is not responsible for any delays in delivery caused by the courier, adverse weather conditions or other external events not attributable to The Ark of Zin Fabio.

Furthermore, it is not possible to predict the compatibility between the water of our breeding and that of your aquarium, since we do not know the specific chemical-physical parameters of each domestic tank. For this reason, we recommend a gradual acclimatization of at least an hour, introducing small amounts of water of the aquarium in the shipping bag every 5-10 minutes. During this process, it is recommended immerse the bag in the aquarium to allow a correct stabilization of the temperature before the final release.
