When we choose to raise fish, we must first think about what fish to raise, the choice of fish tanks, and the placement of fish and fish tanks. You can't just buy a few fish to go home on a whim, which will lead to the previous problems. Bian Xiao suggested here that when choosing fish species, don't be confused by the appearance of fish. If you are a novice fish farmer, Bian Xiao suggests that you choose goldfish, guppies and other fish that are easy to raise. After you are familiar with the process of fish farming, you can start to raise some difficult fish.
Fish tank selection
How to raise fish in family fish tanks is a key. If you choose a small fish tank and put too many fish, the culture density will be too high, which will lead to the death of fish due to lack of oxygen. Therefore, the choice of fish tank is the key problem of family fish farming. Take goldfish as an example, goldfish need 70㎝ per long fish. Your fish tank is 50㎝ long and 25㎝ wide, and its water surface is 1250㎝? So you can keep 1250/70= 18㎝ fish, assuming that 1 goldfish is 5㎝ a day, then you can keep 3-4 goldfish, which can ensure the water quality and dissolved oxygen.
feeding and management
How to raise fish in family fish tanks and reduce the mortality rate of fish is the most important point. This requires us to start from the following aspects.
Feeding: There is a lot of knowledge about the feed selection of family fish tanks. Different fish have different feeding habits. For example, goldfish and peacock fish are omnivorous fish, so the requirements for food are not very great. Thrush is herbivorous, and betta is omnivorous and carnivorous. Therefore, it is necessary to know what kind of fish you are raising before feeding. There is also when to feed, feeding intervals and so on.
Changing water: Changing water is also a very important key for families to raise fish. Changing the water frequently can increase the dissolved oxygen in the water and avoid the phenomenon of fish hypoxia. When changing water, you can't change water at once, which will make the fish look stressed and uncomfortable. We can change the water to a third to a quarter when changing the water to ensure the best clarity in the fish tank.
Lighting: When raising fish at home, put the fish tank in a sunny place, but don't put it for too long. It is best to put it in a sunny place 1-2 hours, so that it can not only use ultraviolet rays in the sun to sterilize and prevent diseases, but also make the fish tank play a role in photosynthesis with aquatic plants and increase dissolved oxygen. And the color of the fish will be brighter and more beautiful.
Be prepared for disease prevention: In the process of raising fish at home, we should always pay attention to pet fish's health. Ill fish and healthy fish should be kept separately to avoid infecting other healthy fish. The difference between sick fish and healthy fish depends on its food intake and activity.
