The 10 common mistakes made by novice fish farmers include putting new fish in an unprepared fish tank, not having the right over-water over-temperature, forgetting to change the water or changing the water too often, improper de-chlorination methods, using unsuitable filters, too small fish tanks, too many fish, over-feeding, leaving the lights on for a long time, and problems with polyculture of fish, etc. The following brings you some tips for fish farming, hoping to help all new fish farming friends.
For novices, it is best to choose a normal square fish tank, which can be a glass fish tank or a plastic fish tank, and the size selection is also very important. For larger fish tanks, such as more than 80cm, it is recommended to choose a waterfall filtration system, which is conducive to the maintenance of water quality. If you choose a seawater tank, you need to pay attention to controlling indicators such as temperature, salinity and water quality.
To ensure good water quality for fish farming, it is necessary to pay attention to the maintenance of the filtration system. The filtration system needs to be cleaned and replaced regularly to ensure that the water quality is clean. Water quality monitoring is also an important part, and water quality indicators such as pH value, temperature, dissolved oxygen amount, etc. can be monitored through water quality monitors.
Be cautious in choosing fish and don't choose fish that are too big or too lively. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to the selection of healthy fish, which have a clean body and no obvious lesions. Sick fish should be treated as soon as possible to avoid contaminating the water quality.
The number of fish to be raised depends on the size of the fish tank. Normally, a 50cm long fish tank can hold 10 10cm long fish. If the size of the fish tank is small, it is recommended to reduce the number of fish. If the fish tank is larger, you can consider increasing the number of fish.
The temperature of fish farming should be kept between 20-28 degrees Celsius. For tropical fish, care needs to be taken to control the water temperature. If the water temperature is too low, it can cause the fish to get sick.
Attention should be paid to the appropriate amount of feeding of fish farming. For most aquarium fish, feeding once a day is sufficient. When feeding, pay attention to the amount of food of the fish and avoid overfeeding, which will lead to turbid water quality.
Water changes for fish farming need to be done regularly. Typically, 1 3-1 2 water needs to be replaced every week. When changing the water, you need to be careful not to use untreated water to avoid water pollution.
Fish farming drugs need to be used with caution. Medicines should only be considered if the fish are sick. It is best to consult a professional veterinarian before using the medicine to avoid the risks caused by improper use of the medicine.
It is recommended to place the glass fish tank near the window in a ventilated area, with bright light and access to sunlight. Because the indoor air is not well circulated, the water is easy to be turbid, which is easy to cause the fish to die due to lack of oxygen.
The above is a small fish farming tip to share with you, I hope it will be helpful to you. Fish farming requires patience and care, and only by raising fish in accordance with scientific methods can the health and longevity of the fish be guaranteed. I wish you all a healthy and happy fish!
