How to raise and fight warship fish: a comprehensive analysis of feeding and fighting management
Man-of-war fish (also known as betta fish) are popular among ornamental fish enthusiasts because of their bright colors and aggressive nature. How to scientifically raise and manage their fighting behavior is a hot topic that many aquarists pay attention to. This article will combine the hot discussions on the Internet in the past 10 days and provide structured data guidance from aspects such as breeding environment, feeding techniques, and fight control.
1. Basic breeding data of warship fish

| Project | Parameter requirements | Things to note |
|---|---|---|
| water temperature | 24-30℃ | It is easy to get sick if the temperature is below 20℃ |
| pH value | 6.5-7.5 | Daily fluctuation does not exceed 0.5 |
| water body size | Single culture ≥ 20 liters | Mixed culture requires double space |
| light | 6-8 hours/day | Avoid direct sunlight |
2. The three main causes of fights (top 3 hotly discussed on the Internet)
1.turf war: 35% of the discussions in the past 7 days mentioned that insufficient space will lead to fierce fights between warship fish. It is recommended to provide an additional 15 liters of water for each additional fish.
2.Estrus conflict: Aggression increases during the breeding season, and searches for related topics increased by 120% this week. It is recommended to isolate individuals in heat.
3.food competition: Food-grabbing behavior in a hungry state can easily lead to biting, so feeding needs to be done regularly and quantitatively.
3. Scientific mixed culture plan
| polyculture fish species | Compatibility | Recommended ratio |
|---|---|---|
| Guppy | ★★★ | 1 warship fish: 3 guppy fish |
| Lampfish | ★★☆ | Requires ≥50 liters of water |
| scavenger | ★★★★ | Can be freely matched |
4. Practical fighting skills (recent popular challenges on Douyin)
1.Mirror training method: Place a mirror for 5 minutes every day to consume its desire to attack. This week, the relevant video views exceeded 8 million.
2.Obstacle scenery: Use water plants/dark wood to separate the line of sight and reduce direct conflicts. Taobao’s water plant sales increased by 40% week-on-week.
3.graded feeding: Feed vulnerable individuals first and establish a hierarchical order. The relevant answer on Zhihu received 21,000 likes.
5. Injury treatment guide
| Injury type | Solutions | recovery cycle |
|---|---|---|
| Torn fin | 0.3% salt water bath | 7-10 days |
| body surface ulcer | yellow powder medicated bath | More than 14 days |
| eye injury | Retreat alone | 21 days observation |
6. Expert advice (quoted from popular science video data at Station B)
1. Juvenile fish (2-4cm) can be kept in groups and socialized, but fish larger than 5cm must be separated into separate tanks. This view is recognized by 95% of breeding experts.
2. Using a blue background board can reduce the attack frequency by 20%. The recent experimental video has been played 3.5 million times.
3. Changing 1/3 of the water body every week can significantly reduce territory marking behavior. Postba voting shows that 87% of aquarists have verified that it is effective.
Through the above structured data management, you can not only appreciate the heroic posture of the warship fish, but also avoid the losses caused by excessive fighting. Remember that the core of keeping ornamental fish is"Respect nature and guide by science", rather than deliberately intensifying fighting behavior.
