Feeding Tropical Fish
· Animal Team
Tropical fish are born in tropical waters, and tropical fish are divided into freshwater tropical fish and saltwater tropical fish.
Fish species with ornamental value in near-tropical and north-south temperate waters at the junction with them are also classified as tropical fish, so their distribution also includes some subtropical areas.
Tropical fish are loved and kept by people because of their colorful patterns.
When artificially reared, it is impossible to do the same conditions as the tropical fish home waters, but they must be provided with basic living conditions that can be adapted, these conditions include water temperature, water hardness, water pH, and so on.
Here is some scientific feeding tropical fish advice:
1. The water temperature is maintained at 24 ~ 28 ℃, regardless of the season, the water temperature must be stable, so the fish will not be easy to get sick.
Since it is a tropical fish, the water temperature can not be too low, regardless of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, it is best to keep the water temperature stable at 24 ~ 28 ℃.
Fish are very sensitive to temperature changes, water temperature fluctuations of more than 2 ℃, they may appear anorexia or indigestion, only to maintain a stable water temperature, fish are not susceptible to disease.
There are two general methods to regulate the temperature of the water used for fish farming: one is to directly increase the temperature of the aquarium water, and the other is to indirectly increase the water temperature by increasing the room temperature.
2. The density of fish should not be too large, to help keep the water clean, fish are not easy to infect each other with the disease.
Whether the tank is large or small, we must control the density of fish, If the fish tank is large, the dissolved oxygen of the water is limited, and the number of fish may also lack oxygen.
The more the number of fish, the easier the water quality is corrupted, once a fish is sick, the other fish will be infected soon. If there are fewer fish, the water quality will be more stable.
3. Introducing aquatic plants into the tank and ensuring adequate lighting is essential for creating a comfortable habitat for tropical fish, as they enjoy hiding among the plants. Adding a layer of bottom sand and cultivating water plants not only enhances the ornamental appeal of the fish tank but also provides a haven for timid fish.
This shelter instills a sense of security in them, contributing to their overall health and activity. Such an environment simulates a natural ecosystem, making the fish feel at home and more lively.
4. The fish feces and food residue at the bottom of the tank should be cleaned regularly, and the water should be changed once a week.
You need to change the water once a week. Before changing the water, suck the fish feces and food residue from the bottom of the tank, then extract the cloudy water from the bottom, and then inject the same amount of water.
Paying attention to these things will help your fish live more comfortably.
