How to keep Gala Luffa
Gala rufas can be an easy breed to keep. The lifespan of the Gala Rufa is approximately 5 to 6 years. Its body size is about 10 cm. However, both lifespan and body size vary depending on the environment in which they are kept and the food they are fed. They prefer slightly acidic to slightly alkaline water with a pH of 6.5 to 7.5. Since the Galalufa is classified as a tropical fish, it requires a heater in winter if kept in Japan.Due to their swimming habit (active swimming), they may jump out of the aquarium, so be sure to use glass plates or other measures to prevent this.
A heater is a device that maintains a constant water temperature. If you go to a specialty store that carries heaters, you will find a wide variety of types. Some people may be at a loss as to which one to choose. In this article, we would like to explain about such heaters [...]
Points to keep in mind when mixing swimmers
Regarding mixed swimming, first of all, the character of the Gala Luffa is a docile one. Therefore, it can be mixed with other breeds. However, since the Gala Luffa is a very active species, when mixing it with slow swimmers, make sure that the slow swimmers are eating well.Also, if the species you choose to mix with your gala rufa is territorial or aggressive, the gala rufa may be beaten up and become injured or even sick due to stress. If the species you wish to mix with is aggressive, it is recommended that you take measures such as adding water plants or ornaments so that the fish will be able to escape if chased.
Points about spawning
Many people who keep Gala Luffa want to breed them. Although Gala Luffa are easy to keep, breeding them is a little more difficult. However, if you know the procedure well, you can increase the number of Galalufa in a stable manner.
The first is to keep individuals that are suitable for breeding.Galalufa have a lifespan of about 5 years, so it takes roughly 10 to 12 months from birth before they are ready to be bred. Therefore, if you want to breed them, it is important to select relatively young individuals when purchasing them from specialty stores. It is also necessary to distinguish between male and female Galalufa. Here, it is important to distinguish between males and females. The male Galah rufa is slimmer and the female has a fuller belly. However, it is difficult to tell them apart when they are small. As they grow older, the female's belly will gradually become fuller, and you will be able to clearly distinguish between male and female. If you want a male or female for sure, we recommend that you ask the staff at a specialty store.
Second, you must have a breeding tank.As is common for those who have bred killifish, if the parents (adults) and fry (young) are kept in the same tank after successful spawning and hatching, they may compete for food and the adults may eat the fry, resulting in a decrease in the number of fry. Also, it is important to note that Galla luffa may eat the eggs themselves. To prevent this from happening, it is recommended that the parents and fry be kept in separate aquariums for easier management. However, unlike killifish, Galarfa is a tropical fish, so a heater is recommended during non-summer months. If you are not sure whether or not to purchase a heater for the tank in which you will keep the fry, you may be able to find equipment at specialty stores that will allow you to borrow part of the tank in which you are keeping the parents to make space for the fry.
Many people who keep killifish want them to spawn. However, not many people know about spawning and what they need to do to prepare for it. This time, we would like to explain the method of spawning and the points to be noted [...].

What to keep in mind when keeping Gala Luffa
The Galalufa is a tropical fish that is easy to keep and mix with other tropical fish, but it is not a very popular breed in terms of breeding. The main reason for this is that they are more subdued than guppies and other species. In recent years, however, they have been attracting attention from the standpoint of beauty and treatment because of their ability to exfoliate humans, and in some years they have even become a boom fish in Japan as "doctor fish. Gala luffa is said to be effective in the treatment of atopic dermatitis and psoriasis.Originally, Turkey, the country of origin of the Gala Luffa, is famous for its hot springs. Since there is not much moss or algae, which are their staple food in hot springs, they started eating the dead skin of people who came to take a bath in the hot springs. Therefore, although Galalufa can live at temperatures up to about 38°C, it is recommended that they be kept at around 28°C in case they are kept in mixed swimming conditions. Although it has many disadvantages in terms of breeding, it is an interesting tropical fish with unique characteristics. If you have a chance to see a Galalufa at a specialty store, I recommend you to take a look.
