CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How can I make my dragon fish grow faster? What is the best food for it?

1. How to make arowana grow faster? What is the best food?

How can we ensure that the arowana is fed properly and grows faster?

First of all, we must take into account healthy growth and ensure nutritional factors. Therefore, the feeding of small dragon fish should be diverse and small. The feeding interval should not be too long. It is best to feed once every four hours. It is more suitable to feed blood worms, which are the larvae of mosquitoes, red nematodes are also called silk earthworms, maggots, loaches, earthworms, chicken breast meat with less fat, small fish and shrimps, artificial feed, etc.

Secondly, to make the dragon fish grow faster, Kuan Ku requires us to feed it regularly every day, two to three times a day, with the main food being small dragon shrimps, and occasionally feeding some livestock products and insects. In fact, the most appropriate is fresh bait, live bait, artificial feed, etc., feeding alternately, feeding 75% of the maximum food intake of the dragon fish, which is often said to be 70% to 80% full, to avoid the dragon fish from losing appetite and not eating. When feeding, remember not to pour the bait into the tank hole at once, but feed one at a time.

In addition, it is also important to note that: when feeding fish, you should choose fish feed that is the right size for the arowana, and before feeding shrimp, you should remove the shrimp sword to avoid stabbing the arowana's digestive system. When feeding loaches, you should first stun the loaches before putting them into the tank to prevent the arowana from colliding and getting injured while chasing the loaches, and to prevent the live loaches from entering the fish's belly and running around.

Follow the steps below to make your dragon fish grow faster. 1. How to adjust the water quality of the new aquarium

The tap water in any city, just coming out of the tap pipe, will contain some chlorine (used for drinking water disinfection). These chlorine elements ensure the health and safety of our drinking water, but for arowana, chlorine is harmful, so before we raise arowana, we need to condition the tap water into water suitable for fish farming. The method is very simple: put enough tap water in the new tank, turn on the filter and circulate it for about 3 days, then turn on the heating device and adjust the temperature to 27-28 degrees Celsius (this temperature is usually the water temperature that arowana prefers, please pay attention to maintain it), and then circulate it for 2-3 days, then you can put your favorite golden arowana into the tank.

2. How big of an aquarium should you choose?

Since Golden Arowana is a large fish (adult size can reach 50-60CM), we need to prepare a fish tank of 1.2m - 1.5m and 50-60cm in width to raise your beloved fish.

3. How to feed golden arowana well

Golden Arowana is a long-lived fish. If well-raised, he (she) can accompany you for 30-50 years. But how can you feed your baby Arowana so that it can live healthier?

In fact, it is very simple, that is, regular feeding + reasonable feeding amount

For dragon fish within 20CM-30CM, feed them 1-2 times a day, and feed them until they are 70%-80% full each time.

For arowanas sized 30CM to 45CM, feed them once a day until they are 70% to 80% full.

For dragon fish larger than 45cm, you can feed them every other day, and feed them until they are 70% to 80% full each time.

According to the above feeding amount, your dragon fish will be very healthy and will not get fat. Remember, fat fish are prone to diseases:)

4. How to choose food for dragon fish

In everyone’s previous concept, arowana should be a carnivorous animal in the wild, but according to scientific anatomical discoveries, arowana is actually an omnivore!

Therefore, when we feed the arowana on a daily basis, you can prepare a variety of recipes for your beloved fish. You can prepare small fish, small shrimps (before feeding, remove the tip of the shrimp head, otherwise it is easy to hurt the stomach of the arowana), loach, etc. Before feeding the small fish and loach to the arowana, it is best to freeze them in advance according to the amount of fish per meal, and thaw them when needed before feeding (because live small animals are prone to parasites and bacteria; freezing can play a good role in prevention and sterilization). If conditions permit, you can also buy some crickets, mealworms and other insects for your beloved fish every 1-2 months (insect food itself is vegetarian and can supplement some vitamins necessary for the arowana).

5. How to change the water for the Arowana

As we all know, any animal needs metabolism to survive. Arowanas live in water all their lives, so their metabolism is in water. Therefore, we must regularly change fresh water for our dragons to maintain their best living environment. Usually, we can replace the water with tap water that has been trapped (trapping water means putting tap water into a bucket and letting it air dry for more than 12 hours to allow the chlorine in the water to evaporate) once a week, and 1/4 of the water each time is a better choice if conditions permit.

Well, dear friends, if you can stick to the above points, your dragon

Will grow up healthily!

Suitable water temperature, clean water quality, sufficient space and proper feeding are the prerequisites for raising dragon fish. The best food to feed dragon fish is live food such as red arrow or small goldfish. You can also feed some granular materials such as Bao Zenghong or Pokémon to increase the color of the dragon fish.

Live food is best

2. My golden arowana is 12 cm long and has been in the tank for 10 days. I feed it live food. Does it eat it? What live food do I feed it?

You can feed live shrimps or fish to the shrimps. You need to pinch off the shrimp claws.

Later, gradually transition to other foods, such as dried shrimps, mealworms, barley worms, and special granular fish food for arowana. If your fish is small, you can also feed it dried bloodworms.

3. How to prevent bacteria in live fish tanks when feeding dragon fish

When feeding live food, it must be strictly quarantined and disinfected before feeding, otherwise there is a high possibility of enteritis or internal parasites.

You can soak it in potassium permanganate solution (which has the best sterilization and disinfection effect, but cannot remove parasites) for about 30 minutes before feeding.

It is recommended that you feed the fish food that has been frozen for more than 3 days. This is safe and hygienic, and will prevent the fish from getting sick easily.

4. What kind of live food is good for a 25 cm dragon fish?

If it exceeds 20 cm, feed it with small fish. Note that the small fish must be disinfected and not fed for 3 days before feeding.

5. What to feed Arowana

Dragon fish are carnivorous fish. From juvenile to adult, they must be fed with animal bait. It is best to feed them with small active fish. Animal viscera can easily interfere with the digestive system and should not be fed. The artificial compound feed used for feeding is mostly shrimp feed (floating).

Common dragon fish foods on the market include: feed fish, crickets, loaches, centipedes, dried shrimps, small goldfish, shrimp meat, and feed. It is best to feed more floating food to prevent eye drops.
