The kazetoge Tanago is a genus of the carp family Cyprinidae that inhabits the Iki region of Saga, Fukuoka, Kumamoto, and Nagasaki prefectures in Japan. It is also the smallest species in the tanago genus. In this article, I would like to explain in detail the characteristics and how to keep the kazeto spiny bitterling.
What is a case-spined bitterling?
The kazetoge tanago belongs to the family Carpidae of the order Carpidae. The habitat of the kazetoge tanago is the Saga, Fukuoka, Kumamoto, and Iki regions of Nagasaki Prefecture in Japan. In particular, they are found in northern Kyushu and the Iki region, starting downstream near the Kuma River and the Nagaremo River in Yatsushiro City, Kumamoto Prefecture.The kazetoge tanago also belongs to a subspecies endemic to Japan. It is also an endangered species in some places. The kazetoge tanago has a long, diamond-shaped appearance with flattened sides. It is the smallest species of the family of bitterling bitterlings. The silvery-white body color of the Chaetodon tanago is characterized by a blue vertical stripe that runs from the lower dorsal fin to the caudal fin. There is also a blue stripe behind the gill cover.

How to keep the cased spiny bitterling tanago
The casege spiny dragonfly is an easy species to keep as long as you know how to keep it. The lifespan of the boxfish is approximately 2 to 3 years. Their body size is approximately 4 to 6 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 alkaline to neutral water quality, with a pH of 7.0 to 8.0. They can live in water temperatures between 5-25℃.

Points to keep in mind when mixing swimmers
Regarding mixed swimming, first of all, the character of the kazeto spiny bitterling tanago is mild-mannered. For this reason, it is recommended to mix them with medium-sized species such as the rose dragonfly, which is also a member of the dragonfly family.However, if the individuals to be mixed are of a species with a strong territorial will or a species that chases, it is necessary to be careful, as the stress may weaken the goby tanago. Also, if you are considering spawning for the Acheilognathus tanago, it is recommended that you refrain from introducing medium-sized Acheilognathus tanago. The Tanago species use bivalves for spawning, but when breeding, strong individuals may monopolize the shells, which may cause the small-sized boxfish to lose the chance to spawn, so please be careful if you want them to spawn. If you are concerned about this, please make sure that they are eating the food when you feed them and that they are not being chased.

Points about spawning
Many people who keep case-spined bitterling tanago want to breed them. In the wild, the spawning season for the Gazetted bitterling tanago is around spring. If they are kept in captivity, the timing when the water temperature reaches around 20 degrees Celsius is the signal for spawning. When it is time to spawn, the male's rump and dorsal fin edges and mouthparts turn bright red, and the edges turn black. Females extend a black tube called the oviduct from near the rump.In some cases, the oviduct may be so long that it reaches the tip of the tail fin.
Tanago lay their eggs on bivalves, whereas other ornamental fish such as killifish and goldfish lay their eggs on water plants. This spawning method is the biggest obstacle in trying to breed Tanago. This is because, unlike aquatic plants, you have to keep bivalves. If the bivalve that the bitterling spawned dies before the eggs hatch, the eggs will die with it. Another difficulty is that there are fewer specialty stores that deal in bivalves compared to aquatic plants. The types of bivalve mollusks used by bitterlings for spawning include the pine cone mussel, the dove mussel, the echinoderm oyster, and the mussel. If you are not sure, we recommend that you ask at a specialty store. If you want to breed bitterlings, the first step is to find bivalves.
When the bivalve is in the aquarium, the female lays her eggs in the gills of the shell using an egg tube. The male fertilizes the eggs by applying sperm to them immediately after the female lays them. The eggs hatch about 3-4 days after spawning, consume the yolk sac (nutrition received from the parents) in about a week, and grow to about 1 cm in about 20 days and emerge from the shell. At this time, the juvenile fish may have a shellfish baby attached to its fins. Just as the bitterling uses the shells, the shells use the bitterlings to expand their habitat. The male may protect the bivalves after laying eggs, but the fry are often eaten, so if you are keeping them in an aquarium, it is recommended to move the shells to another tank after confirming the spawning. Successful spawning of bitterling depends on how well you can keep the bivalves stable, so if you are worried about them or are not confident about handling them, we recommend that you purchase bivalves from a specialty store just before the bitterling spawns.

The kazetoge tanago is a silvery-white river fish with a blue vertical stripe running from the lower dorsal fin to the caudal fin. It is also the smallest species of the tanago genus.In nature, it has become an endangered species found only in the Kyushu region. The kazetoge tanago prefers to live in areas with relatively calm currents, such as irrigation canals and lakes with clean water quality. Therefore, they are an essential part of the traditional Japanese ecosystem, and are highly recommended in terms of education. If you are interested in kazetoge tanago, we recommend that you take a look at them at a specialty store.
