CATDOLL : CATDOLL: The right way to keep fish

You can just keep it in a fish tank and prepare an oxygen pump and a filter tank.

1. Use the correct feeding method and feed the fish 2%-9% of their body weight. 2. Compared with high-density feeding, low-density feeding gives fish a larger living space and is more conducive to their growth. 3. Water is the basic condition for fish farming, and it can also be said that water is the life of fish.

The correct way to raise fish

The correct way to raise fish. Many people keep some small pets at home. The most popular one is fish. It looks very nice to have a fish tank at home, but in fact it is very difficult to raise fish at home. They will die if you are not careful. So what is the correct way to raise fish?

The correct way to raise fish 1 1. If you want to raise fish, don't rush into it and buy two fish in the fish tank. Don't blindly buy various fish tanks and fish raising equipment. First, you should learn more about the types of fish;

Take a look at what kind of fish you like; you can go to the local aquarium to have a look, or do a search; learn more about fish, such as how big a fish tank you need to keep fish, what kind of filter you need, and what temperature is appropriate.

Although fish farming is a hobby, if you do it blindly, it will not only waste money but also energy. So we should make some preparations before raising fish, so that we can raise the ornamental fish we like as soon as possible!

2. Fish is also a kind of pet. If we want to keep it, we must provide it with the environment it needs to survive. For example, fish tank, filter equipment, oxygen pump, fish feed... I think you should not invest too much money in preparing equipment when you first start raising fish. In the early stage, we can simply buy a fish tank, some fish feed, which are relatively simple and low-cost materials.

The investment in fish farming needs to be carefully calculated. After all, you don’t have enough experience in fish farming, so you might as well waste money on buying fish that are not useful. So in principle, buy as little as possible, and don’t buy too much blindly!

3. After deciding what kind of fish to raise and preparing the equipment, the next step is to set up the tank and maintain the water. The predecessors in fish breeding have long had the experience that "raising fish starts with maintaining the water", which means that the quality of water directly affects the normal growth and development of fish.

Therefore, we must pay attention to the quality of water so that fish can live in an environment with good water quality. At home, we usually use new water (tap water). Although the water looks very clear, it is very different from the living environment of fish. We need to maintain the water.

For water maintenance, for families with better conditions, we can follow the steps for water maintenance, including aeration, 24-hour filtration, adding nitrifying bacteria (optional), etc.; for families with poorer conditions, like me, we can use the water drying method.

The drying method is to expose tap water to the sun. This method is not only environmentally friendly and energy-saving, but also cost-saving. As for the time, it depends on our patience, which can take three to five days or as long as one month.

4. When we buy fish, we should ask experienced fish lovers or fish shop owners for more information about the fish. Of course, the owner may cheat you sometimes. When many friends first raise fish, they foolishly ask what fish is easy to raise, and then buy them completely according to the recommendations of the fish shop owner. Not only are they expensive, but the quality of the fish is also not very good.

If you feel that the boss is dishonest, go to another store to buy from. Ask the time the fish was purchased and observe the condition of the fish to see if there are any external injuries on the head, eyes, or tail, and whether any scales have fallen off.

When catching fish, try to catch them yourself, and catch those that are closer to the bottom of the water. These are relatively healthier and easier to raise. Don't be bothered by the trouble of choosing fish, raising fish is a troublesome thing in itself, so if you do it right the first time, there will be less trouble in the future.

5. When we buy fish, remember not to throw them directly into the water. The fish should be rinsed with water before being put into the water. The method of rinsing the fish may seem complicated, but it is actually very simple, just a little troublesome.

First, put the whole bag of fish into the water and make the water temperature in the bag close to the water temperature in the fish tank. After about half an hour, add water from the fish tank to the bag. Add about half of the water in the bag.

Let the fish you bought adapt to the water quality in the fish tank, then sprinkle some fish sterilization salt into the bag, take it out after a few minutes and put it into the fish tank, and your fish can swim happily in the fish tank! Water transfer is a critical step, don't forget to transfer the water, don't be impatient!

6. The next step is feeding and changing the water. When you prepare the equipment and feed for fish, do you think it will be more troublesome to feed the fish? Do you think you need to feed the fish several times a day? In fact, fish are not afraid of hunger, but they cannot stand fullness. If you keep feeding them, the fish will keep eating until they are full and die. Therefore, children with idle hands at home should pay attention and do not let your family members feed the fish all the time!

Under normal circumstances, feeding once a day is enough. The principle of feeding fish is to feed less.

7. As for changing water, there are certain principles. The temperature and amount of water are crucial. The new water we change can be one to two degrees higher than the old water, which ensures the living environment of the fish. Changing the water does not mean changing all the water. It is best not to change more than one-third of the original water each time.

Changing the water can also stimulate the appetite and adaptability of fish, so you must change the water frequently, generally once a week is enough, this can keep the water clean and ensure the environment in the fish tank! So, don't be lazy when changing the water!

8. Fish also need sunlight. Plants have photosynthesis, and animals also need sunlight. For humans, we all know that if we don’t get sunlight for a long time, it will also bring harm to the body.

Therefore, the fish living in the fish tank also need sunlight. So, the fish tank at home must be placed in the correct position. Do not place it where the sunlight cannot reach, but do not place it where the sun is directly shining. It is better to place it in the side light direction.

In sunny weather, fish can swim freely in the sun, and you will feel happy watching them. At the same time, the color of fish is also related to light, so for the health of fish and to cultivate good-looking ornamental fish, it is necessary to ensure that the fish have sufficient light.

9. Fish are animals after all, and fish diseases are unavoidable. Practical experience is very important in dealing with fish diseases. What I want to say is: prevention is the priority, and prevention should be done if it can be prevented, which can reduce trouble and financial losses. The prevention method is also very simple, you can sprinkle some fish sterilization salt into the fish tank, and the fundamental action of prevention is to maintain the stability of water quality.

When you really encounter a fish that is sick, don't panic. You can go to the fish store or fish friends for consultation, or search the Internet for experience and buy some medicine for treatment!

10. Finally, I want to say that raising fish may seem simple, but it is actually very troublesome. Fish are very troublesome. After all, they are pets, so we need to give them more care. Change the water frequently, sterilize and remove algae, and keep our ornamental fish well!

You can't be lazy when raising fish. If you are too lazy to change the water or wash the cotton, I advise you not to raise fish. Raising fish is not only to raise beautiful ornamental fish, but also to cultivate our character. If you want to raise good fish, you have to spend more time and effort. Only in this way, the beautiful fish will not let you down!

Summary:

Raising fish is good company, and drinking water is good for the mulberry tree! After reading these ten suggestions, do you think raising fish is a very troublesome thing? Raising fish seems to be very simple, but fish are also very particular. Fish, like other pets, need our careful care, otherwise they will not give us good feedback.

In short, raising fish can not only cultivate our interests, but also improve our moral character. I hope my suggestions can help you who want to raise fish!

Correct way to raise fish 2 1. A proper living space. The goldfish tank should be larger, more than 80 cm long. Then the number of fish should be small rather than large, especially for beginners who have just started to raise fish. It will be very troublesome to raise too many fish.

2. Goldfish are high oxygen consumption fish, so it is very necessary to ensure that there is sufficient oxygen in the water. Buy an oxygen pump.

3. Goldfish eat a lot and poop a lot, so the water is easy to get dirty. It is important to have a strong enough filtration system. Of course, some people do not want to use filters because of economic issues.

Of course, that's OK, but it's going to be hard work for you. If the fish tank is small, you have to pump out the bottom every day to get rid of the feces. If the tank is bigger, you have to pump out the bottom every other day, because fish feces will produce a chemical substance that is harmful to fish, so you have to remove them.

4. Change the water regularly. What I just said is just pumping the bottom. The amount of water changed by pumping the bottom is usually only one-tenth to one-twentieth. This amount of water change is not enough. You must regularly change the water on a larger scale: change one-fifth of the water every 3 to 5 days in summer and one-third of the water every one to two weeks in winter.

5. Feed at regular times and fixed amounts. Goldfish are a type of fish that never know how to be satisfied when it comes to food. If they are healthy, you can tell them to eat when you feed them and how much you feed them until they die of fullness.

Therefore, it is very important to artificially control the number and amount of feeding. It is easier to feed the fish once or twice a day, and it takes 3 to 5 minutes each time. The unfinished food should be removed in time to avoid affecting the water quality.

More importantly, feeding should be done gradually, especially for newly bought fish. You can start by feeding them one minute to finish eating, then two minutes to finish eating, then three minutes, until you can feed them normally. If you don't pay attention to this, goldfish are likely to get enteritis.

6. Keep the water temperature constant. As long as the water temperature rises or falls slowly, goldfish can survive in water temperatures between 0 and 39 degrees Celsius. However, if the water temperature changes suddenly, goldfish will get sick. In mild cases, they may catch a cold or have congestion. In severe cases, the float may become unbalanced or even die.

Therefore, usually pay more attention to the weather conditions. Also, when changing water, try to control the temperature difference between the new water and the old water within plus or minus 2 degrees. It is best not to have a difference of one degree or the new water should be one degree higher than the old water. Also, please note that when changing water, do not pour all the water in at once, but pour it in slowly.

7. Take disease prevention measures. Prevention is the key to fish farming. Don't wait until you get sick to treat it, as it is usually too late. Regularly put one thousandth of salt in the water. It is not edible salt, but the kind of salt specially used for fish farming, which is sold in the fish market.

If you see something wrong with the fish but can't tell why, increase the amount to 0.03%, then increase the frequency of water changes and raise the water temperature to 2 to 3 degrees above the original water temperature. This is what people often call the old three things.

8. Disinfect the fishing equipment. Many people who have just started to raise fish have a question: Why do the fish they just bought die after a few days? In fact, they don’t know that the new fish tank contains many substances that are harmful to fish. If these substances are not removed, no matter how many fish you buy, there is only one end~death. How to solve this problem?

This is what is called opening the fish tank. Before buying fish, brush the fish tank with high-concentration potassium permanganate, rinse it with clean water, soak the whole tank with low-concentration potassium permanganate for two days, rinse it with clean water, then fill the fish tank with new water, let it stand for two days, then open the filter, add one thousandth of salt, and add nitrifying bacteria if conditions permit.

If you don't have any, forget it. Put four or five small fish into the tank within 24 hours to test the water. Three days later, you can put your favorite fish in. This is a very troublesome but very safe method. Of course, in addition to opening the tank, it is also very important to disinfect the fishing equipment on a regular basis. All fishing equipment that has been used to catch sick fish must be disinfected with high concentrations of potassium permanganate.

9. Control the water color for fish farming. Many people like to keep the water clear when raising fish. Of course, clear water is certainly a visual enjoyment, but fish are most likely to get sick when raised in clear water.

Therefore, it is not recommended for beginners to raise fish with clear water. It is best to use slightly green water to raise fish. Fish will hardly get sick in this water quality. There is also a kind of green water, which can make the body color of goldfish more vivid. However, raising fish with this kind of water quality is prone to scalding the tail in summer and hypoxia at night.

That seems to be all. It looks complicated, but it is not difficult. As long as you really want to raise fish well and really like raising fish, it will be easy to do. I wish you success.

There is one more thing I forgot to mention. It is best not to use tap water directly for goldfish, because the water contains a lot of chlorine, which will harm the fish. The tap water must be pumped out and left to stand for two days or exposed to the sun for one day before it can be used. Of course, for big and strong fish, using tap water directly when changing a small amount of water will not have much effect. However, it is better to treat the water.

Correct fish farming method 3 1. Choose

When choosing any type of fish, you should choose those with a broad and strong body, complete chest, abdomen and tail fins, and a wide and open tail. For fish without dorsal fins, choose those with smooth backs, without broken dorsal fins or tubercles. As for the color of the fish, choose delicate red for red, pure white for white, azure blue for blue, dark black for black, and harmonious colors and detailed patterns for spotted ones. Only those with blue can be called spotted.

Some fish are half red and half black, or have a red body with black edges on the fins. They look beautiful now, but in fact they will turn completely red soon, so be prepared.

2. Health status

Check the fish's body surface for parasites, white hair, white spots, bleeding, and ulcers.

3. Choose the age of fish

The life span of wild fish is mostly 4-6 years, 2-3 years is the best age for ornamental fish, at this stage the fish are strong and swim freely. 4-6 years is considered old fish, the body color fades, it is lazy to swim, the appetite is weakened, and it is very easy to get sick.

Fish under 6 months old have just started to develop, their species characteristics are not obvious, their colors are not fixed, the defective rate is very high, and they are not easy to raise due to limited home breeding conditions. Therefore, it is most appropriate to choose fish aged 6-18 months. At this stage, the fish have a strong appetite, swim freely, and their species characteristics begin to appear. They are also reasonably priced and can be raised at home for about 2 years.

4. Feed

Regardless of the form of artificial feed, its ingredients must meet the needs of fish growth. Good fish feed ingredients should include: protein not less than 40%, crude fiber not more than 4%, crude fat not less than 4%, and natural astaxanthin, spirulina, water pollution fungi, as well as vitamins and trace elements. And when purchasing, pay attention to the shelf life and choose regular manufacturers.

2. Fish farming knowledge - water for fish farming

You can never raise fish with tap water. Pour tap water into a bottle and leave it there for at least three days. This will reduce the chlorine content in the tap water and reduce the harm to the fish. As for changing the water, use a small hose to suck out the fish excrement and leftover bait in the fish tank on time every day, and then add the same amount of water.

3. Fish farming knowledge - the number of fish to be raised

From the perspective of Feng Shui, the number of fish a family raises is not important, the key is to have the right number, only in this way can the effect be maximized. Generally speaking, it is best to raise one, four, six, or nine fish in a family. Because in Feng Shui, one and six represent water, and four and nine represent gold, so these numbers are the most prosperous.
