Seabass is often used as a food fish in its place of origin. Its requirements for water quality are not strict, and its sociality is not obvious. Before the male fish lays eggs, he will use the air bubbles produced by breathing on the water surface as a floating nest.
Bass have a habit of fighting mouth-to-mouth. Among them, the kissing perch is named because it looks like they are kissing when they put their lips together. They not only kiss between male fish and female fish, but also between male fish and male fish. When two seabass meet, both sides will stretch out their long, serrated lips, and touch each other forcefully, just like a lover "kissing" without separating for a long time. However, this "hot kiss" is not a "courtship" but a fight. Because the perch has the habit of defending the "territory", when the two meet, they use their long lips to resolve the "territory" dispute. The "kissing" will not end until one of the parties retreats.
The feeding habit of seabass is more complex. Although it is a large fish species, it is generally not interested in large daphnia. It often takes a long time to open its mouth to "drink" some small daphnia to eat. This is also a tropical fish. A special way of feeding.
Seabass travels freely in the aquarium very actively, using their light flesh-colored mouths to gnaw on water plants, algae and moss on the walls of the aquarium and ornaments. Sometimes they stand upside down and work hard, sometimes they take a break and swim quickly to the surface, using their unique auxiliary breathing organs like other betta fishes to directly breathe the air on the water surface, despite the fact that the seabass is so busy , But still not a good "aquatic scavenger", because although they like to peck algae, they are not their staple food. The seabass eats a lot and can accept any bait. It is only its natural nature to eat algae and supplement it. The physical stamina consumed by active habits will increase greatly as it grows and develops, almost more than the dirt it "cleans up".
