CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Do you need to add salt to raise pufferfish?

1. Is it necessary to add salt when raising pufferfish?

It is necessary to add salt to raise pufferfish. It is best to raise them in brackish water. If they are raised in fresh water for a long time, they will slowly lose their vitality. It is recommended to control the water temperature at 24~28℃. If it is too low, it will affect the development of pufferfish. A heating pump can be used to maintain the temperature in winter. Feeding should be regular and quantitative. Long-term lack of nutrition will lead to physical weakness and disease.

Raising pufferfish requires adding salt

It is necessary to add salt to the fresh water. It is best to add 2% sea salt to the fresh water to ensure the enthusiasm of the pufferfish and to ensure that there is enough space for the pufferfish to move around. If the pufferfish is kept in fresh water for a long time, it may lose its vitality or even die.

The water temperature for pufferfish should be controlled at 24-28℃, which can increase their appetite. When the temperature is below 15℃, the appetite of pufferfish will decrease, affecting their normal development. In winter, a heating pump can be used to maintain the water temperature.

Pufferfish can go without food for several days and maintain life by consuming their own fat. However, this will affect their health. They should be fed regularly and quantitatively. They can be fed with small fish and shrimp to supplement nutrition and avoid diseases.

2. Does anyone raise puffer fish?

No way, the fish seller asked me to catch it with my hands! I was so scared! I bought it because it looked fun, but it was mixed in the tank! Is it really fierce?

3. When raising green pufferfish, you cannot change the water frequently. What is the best filter to use?

Air pump + water monster head = biochemical filtration

The water demon head costs 5 to 10 yuan each, depending on the size you need. It is sold in fish stores. Installed on the air outlet sand head of the air pump, it can cultivate nitrifying bacteria and purify water quality.

4. Will pufferfish die if the water is changed every day?

Dear, you don’t know how to raise fish… You should learn first and then raise them… Kill less animals…

5. How to feed the golden baby "pufferfish"?

There are three types of puffer fish: seawater, carbonated water, and freshwater. The smaller ones are called dolls, and the larger ones are called dogheads. The most common ones on the market are the carbonated water golden dolls, also known as submarines. Scientific name: Tetraodon nigroviridis, Tetraodon fluviatilis Chinese: Golden doll English: Green puffer, spotted green puffer Features: White belly and golden back. Black spots are irregularly scattered on the back. There is a particularly bright golden area on the forehead. The fins are translucent. Some individuals have regular arc-shaped black lines on the caudal fins. They are sensitive to water quality and environment. Their belly can turn black. Their body color changes with their mood. Origin: Thailand. Indonesia. Malaysia. The southern waters of China. There have also been sightings in Taiwan estuaries. Water quality: carbonated water, neutral to hard. Bottom sand: coral sand. Neutral sand water temperature: 24~28 degrees Body length: 10~15cm Food: small fish, shrimp, bloodworms. Action: Healthy individuals with high activity. Good appetite. Not picky. Curious. Good interaction with the owner. If you want to keep it for a long time, you must use carbonated water. In the early stage, when the same species are mixed, they will attack each other to establish their status. In the later stage, it is easier to get along. Medium temper. Medium aggression. Individuals need a large space. Note: In the terminology of aquariums, the word carbonated water (Brackish water, BW) does not refer to the beverages we drink. The so-called "carbonated water" refers to "semi-brackish water" between fresh water (Fresh water, FW) and sea water (Sea water, SW), that is, the water quality formed by the mixture of river water and sea water at the mouth of the river. Because of the twice daily high and low tides in this place, the salt content in the water changes more dramatically than in other places. Taking the density of pure water as 1.000 (g/cm3) as the standard, the specific gravity of "soft water" ranges from about 1.005 to 1.018. Above 1.019 is "sea water", and below 1.004 is still "fresh water". Most people are not familiar with the amount of sea water when they first mix the specific gravity, resulting in a specific gravity that is too light and still not considered soft water. In fact, as long as you measure it with a hydrometer, you will find that the amount of salt required is much more than you think, so you can try to put a little more.
