The morphological characteristics of the Egyptian giant mermaid
The Egyptian giant mermaid

The Egyptian giant mermaid belongs to the species of giant mermaids. The largest species, the vertical stripes on the fish's body are dark brown. However, it is also because the Egyptian giant mermaid is wild and untamable, so the difficulty of artificial growth is quite high. For aquarists, it is not easy to successfully raise it. The shape of the Egyptian giant mermaid is similar to that of the giant mermaid, but it is larger and can reach 15 cm in length. Its body color is silver-gray with light yellow, with darker yellow on the back, lighter belly, and small brown freckles on the back. There are also 4 straight black stripes on the side of the body. Black eyes with red circles. The angle of the forehead is higher than that of ordinary giant mermaids, so the mouth looks slightly upward. The height of their dorsal and anal fins is also particularly high and long compared to the common giant mermaids.
When choosing fish, you should pay great attention to the extension of the dorsal fin, caudal fin, and anal fin to ensure that they are not broken or damaged. It is best to have a particularly long flagpole for the dorsal fin. The overall color should not be too dark in appearance. If the color is too dark, it means there are parasites. You must not avoid this kind of juvenile fish. The shape and size of the juvenile fish are all important to consider. The comparison between the juvenile Egyptian giant fish and the common juvenile juvenile fish can be understood with the naked eye. However, compared with another direct relative, commonly known as the subspecies Egyptian giant, it is a bit troublesome. According to German ichthyologists, the number of scales in the longitudinal row of the body is 41-47, and the number of scales in the arc below the dorsal fin is 28-29. The number of scales on the arc above the anal fin is 28-32.
