After the ornamental fish is raised well, don't easily doubt your own feeding methods and filtration system.

Hello all aquarists, I am an experienced fish farmer. For more practical knowledge of ornamental fish breeding and breeding, please pay attention to everyone, let us raise water easily and raise fish happily!

I am a fish farmer, please pay attention to more ornamental fish questions, thank you!

I'm a fish-breeding veteran. I've been raising a tank of koi for more than half a year, and they've been in good condition. I feel that they have a strong physique and a strong appetite. The water quality of the fish tank also looks good.

It's just that every time I see a lot of knowledge on the Internet, why do I start to wonder if there will be too much debris in the biochemical filter material of my fish tank? Do I need to clean the filter material or increase the filtration for them?

Then there is the frequency of changing the water. Before, I used well water directly, and I changed about a quarter of the water every week. Is this not bad? I should change it to pumping every day. Well, if I use pure water to feed them Is it okay, how do I feel, I don't know now, how should I feed them?

In addition, there is another problem with the water temperature. The temperature of their feeding water is only about 20 degrees. Do they need to raise the temperature, for example, around 27 or 8 degrees, so that their appetite will be more vigorous?

In general, ornamental fish are seeking stability and not change for their living environment. We must be clear about this.

After most of the ornamental fish have adapted to their own fish tank environment, including lighting, background, water quality, water temperature, internal and external environment, etc., they all like to seek stability without change, even if it is a slight change in the fish tank, such as Saying that our heating pipe was originally placed vertically, but now it is placed obliquely, it will also cause a brief panic in the ornamental fish. Even in our opinion, some ornamental fish do not have much psychological depression, but their state and appetite will definitely be There is such a slight influence, if we look carefully, we will find it.

Therefore, if our ornamental fish are already well raised, all routines are proceeding step by step. First of all, in the above-mentioned major aspects, we should not make easy changes. For some neurotic adult ornamental fish , a little change, maybe refusal to eat for more than half a month, then we will lose more than the gain.

As long as the ornamental fish is in good condition and has fully adapted, the water quality will not move.

For example, as mentioned by the aquarist mentioned above, the koi raised by myself have been used for more than half a year, and the well water has been used, so continue to use it. There is no need to change the water quality of the fish tank. Most ornamental fish The ability to adapt is developed through our step-by-step exercise.

Since they have adapted and lived well, then we don’t need to worry too much. Even the colorful and swallow fish are raised with well water. As long as the ornamental fish has no problems for a long time, there is no black body, food resistance, wall-facing, lying in the tank, etc. In the case of enteritis, let them continue to adapt.

What is there to say? There are only blessings that cannot be enjoyed, and there is no sin that cannot be suffered.

This sentence is also applicable to ornamental fish, but this process still needs to be realized slowly. Since we have used well water to raise koi, it means that our conditions at that time, well water is the best, in this case, it is difficult to put They have been trained to adapt to the well water, so there is no need to change it.

Besides, pure water for raising koi may not be better than well water.

The water quality has been maintained well, we must be sure that our method is absolutely correct

The same is true for the frequency of water changes. Since the water quality of our fish tank has always been good and the appetite of the ornamental fish is good, there is no need for us to make major changes. It is not necessarily a good thing to change the water every day. Everything has two sides.

Let's say:

If the breeding density of ornamental fish in our fish tank is very high, and the filter system itself is not very strong, and the debris at the bottom of the fish tank often accumulates too much, then we will pump the bottom to change the water every day, and the advantages will outweigh the disadvantages.

But in the same way, if these fish have adapted to the habit of receiving new water every day, once we are away on a business trip, no one will go and change the water for them, and the fish tank filter is still the same, then this tank Ornamental fish are likely to be at stake.

For ornamental fish that have undergone regular water changes for a long time, for example, our filtration is not bad. Normally, we change a quarter of the water for them in about ten days, so even if we travel for half a month, they may not If there are any problems, generally speaking, this principle will be understood.

These things need to be operated normally according to our own actual situation and existing habits. Everything that is already suitable is the best.

Even if the water is changed every six months, the koi I have raised for ten years have no problem. It may be because of low stocking density, large water body or strong filtration.

Since it has been raised for such a long time, we will continue to change the water every six months. Maybe one day I will be diligent and suddenly change it to a big water change every three days. They will soon say goodbye. Why? Because they are not adapted and used to it, they have been unable to withstand the stimulation of new water of this frequency for a long time.

Therefore, on the road of raising ornamental fish, no one can learn a set of breeding methods for one person. ? Not necessarily related to our fish.

Even if there is a small problem with the water quality, it is better to adjust the water quality or feeding amount, and check the filter material as a last resort.

All the premise of our article today is that after our ornamental fish has been raised well, and everything is normal, at least it has been raised for more than two months.

Just like the aquarist mentioned above, after raising koi for half a year, we blindly suspect the problem of clogging of the filter material, or increase the filtration problem. In general, the clogging of the filter material is unlikely, unless Is it because the water quality could not be regulated for a long time before, and the sundries were deposited too much. Otherwise, you don’t have to pay attention to the biochemical filter material in the fish tank. How many percent can they account for the entire water body?

Assuming that in some special cases, we feed too much or the debris at the bottom of the fish tank suddenly settles too much, then we can pump the bottom, stop eating, and change the water in small amounts. If the filter cotton overflows seriously, clean or replace the filter cotton after a day or two, and the water quality will slowly recover. There is no need for us to make major changes or increase biochemical filtration.

Unless there is a very serious water reversal phenomenon, for example, the water quality will never be regulated at a certain stage, the ornamental fish will be greatly ill or die, and the tank needs to be turned over.

The water temperature can be kept relatively constant for a long time, and it is not necessary to go to high temperature breeding

Regarding the water temperature control of the fish tank, it will also be related to many factors. Generally speaking, it can be compared with nature and solar terms, and the water temperature should not be adjusted too high. It does not mean high temperature fish farming, it must be correct. .

We look at the ornamental fish that are raised at high temperature, such as parrot fish, Luohan fish, dragon fish and colorful, and their lifespan is not too long. The problem is that some diseases also require heating treatment. If the fish is kept at high temperature for a long time, once the ornamental fish becomes sick, we will not be able to adjust the water temperature. This situation will be more difficult.

So, since our koi have been living well in the current season and the water temperature is 20 degrees, then we don't need to use a higher temperature to raise them. What should we do in the midsummer season? ?

If you look at the long-term breeding plan, it is definitely not a good thing to let all the cold-water fish pass the summer ahead of schedule.

As the temperature changes, let it climb slowly, and let these ornamental fish generally have a slow seasonal change, which is definitely not a bad thing, unless we desperately want them to grow up quickly, or they are still young Fish season, that's another matter.

The middle stage of fish farming is still tossing, which only shows that our level is still in the early stage of fish farming.

Therefore, all the above-mentioned problems are still based on ornamental fish. How does the ornamental fish adapt to the water quality, how does the ornamental fish adapt to the water temperature, and how does the ornamental fish adapt to the food?

Now that everything is fine, we don't have any reason to doubt our existing breeding methods and water changing modes. We can just follow the normal operation and management. If there are some unexpected problems, or the ornamental fish grow slowly and the density is too high. When it's big, wait, we'll treat and deal with it separately.

In the early days of fish farming, we have to be careful about everything, and we need to adapt to the ornamental fish.

In the mid-term of fish farming, we need to find certain rules by ourselves and maintain a relative balance. We need ornamental fish to adapt to us.

If our ornamental fish has been raised for two or three months, during this period, we are still worrying about the water quality and constantly changing the filtration, how can it reach an effective balance? It can only show that our breeding level is still in the primary level of fish farming.
