The giant salamander (Andrias davidianus), commonly known as the salamander or baby fish, is an amphibian of the genus Andrias. It is the world's largest amphibian, with a total length of 582~834 mm and a weight of 5~10 kg. The body surface is smooth and moist. The dorsal ventral surface of the head has pairs of small warts arranged; Body color varies with the environment but is predominantly tan. The giant salamander has a large flat and broad head, a round rostrum, small eyes and a large mouth. The trunk is stout and flat, the limbs are short, the hind limbs are slightly longer, and the fingers and toes are flat. The tail length is about 1/2 the length of the head body !
The giant salamander is an ancient amphibian whose evolutionary origins can be traced back 360 million years to the aquatic fish of the Paleozoic Devonian period. Before the dinosaurs, the salamander-like amphibians of the tropical Pangaea were among the most advanced predators on Earth. Their body length can reach about 2 meters, but the limbs are slender and difficult to support the body for a long time, so they mainly live in water and feed on fish. These amphibians are distant ancestors of giant salamanders. As the earth's crust moved and the environment changed, these paleontologists gradually became smaller and adapted to the dry land environment, eventually evolving into modern giant salamanders !
How To Raise Giant Salamanders Artificially In Farm !
1. Choosing Excellent Varieties
The primary requirement of artificial salamander breeding is to select healthy and beautiful salamander species. It is recommended that farmers choose the type of salamander, can go to the regular farm to buy, to ensure the quality of fish fry and health status !
2. Maintain Stable Water Quality
Water quality has an important effect on the survival rate and health status of salamanders. The water temperature of the aquarium is kept above 24 ° C, the PH value is between 7.0-8.0, and the hardness is above 80ppm. At the same time, keep the water clean to avoid the accumulation of residue and debris in the water !
3. Scientific Diet
The salamander is a carnivorous animal that feeds mainly on small invertebrates and plankton. In the breeding process, the salamander can be provided with high-quality artificial food, such as flowering insects, tiny fruit flies and sporozoa !
4. Suitable Farming Environment
In addition to maintaining stable water quality and providing a scientific diet, breeders also need to provide a suitable living environment for the salamander. A suitable filtration system and a suitable oxygen supply device are placed in the tank to ensure that the living environment of the salamander is in the best condition !
The above is the introduction of artificial salamander breeding methods, hoping to help salamander lovers. Remember to regularly clean the feeding tank, change the water quality and observe the physical condition of the salamander, deal with abnormal situations in time, and maintain the health and safety of the feeding environment !
