The Blue Emperor Lantern is the rarest species of the Lantern family. The extension of the pelvic fins of this type of male fish has yellow false eggs, which will turn yellow when the fish matures. The eggs are more conspicuous, so people named them "lanterns". During the growth period, it is generally necessary to raise a few males and multiple females in a polyculture. After the fish matures, the male fish will find a healthy female fish and mate with it. After the female fish has eggs, it will escape to a safe place and one person will bear the heavy responsibility of hatching the young fish. .
Only with a certain understanding of Lan Di’s lantern can it help in raising and caring for it.
