What should you pay attention to when raising goldfish?

When raising goldfish at home, the glass tank should be placed near a window in a ventilated and sunny place. Pay attention to the stocking density and arrange it reasonably according to the size of the container. It is better to raise fewer rather than more. Because the indoor air circulation is not good, raising too many goldfish will make the water turbid, which may cause the goldfish to die due to lack of oxygen. If there is an air pump, you can raise more goldfish. If you find that the goldfish are floating, you need to turn on the air pump to add oxygen, especially at night, when oxygenation is more necessary.

Live fish worms are the most ideal bait for home fish farming. The water quality is not easy to deteriorate. Dried fish worms and artificial synthetic pellet feed can also be used. Live fish worms are now available on the market, but it is troublesome to buy them every day. For the dried fish worms sold on the market, choose fresh ones with loose particles to feed the fish. Do not buy old and moldy dried fish worms to feed the fish. It is better to use complete feed with complete nutritional ingredients for artificial pellet feed, which is available on the market.

In order to keep the water pure, the amount of feed should be strictly timed and quantitative. Usually, it is advisable to feed once or twice a day. Each amount of feed should be eaten within half an hour. Do not feed too much . There are two harms of feeding too much: first, the fish will be full, the metabolism level will increase, and the oxygen consumption will increase, which may cause the goldfish to die of suffocation due to lack of oxygen; second, the leftover feed will easily rot and ferment, causing the water quality to deteriorate, which will also cause lack of oxygen. In fact, goldfish are relatively resistant to hunger, and there will be no problem if they are not fed for a week or two.

It is very important to keep the water pure when raising goldfish. You should often use a latex tube to suck out the accumulated residue, the feces, leftover bait and turbid water at the bottom of the glass tank, and then slowly add new water that has been placed for a day. If the water plants float up or the rockery is knocked down during the operation, you should restore it to its original state in time.

The longer you keep fish, the more sediment will accumulate. Even if you clean it every day, it is not possible to remove it completely. If the sediment increases and affects the clarity of the glass tank, you must completely change the water and clean the glass tank to keep the water pure, easy to watch, and maintain a good living environment for goldfish.

The rectangular glass tanks used by ordinary families are small in size, so you cannot keep too many goldfish. It is better to keep fewer rather than more. For example, in a container that is 40 cm long, 25 cm wide and 30 cm high, you can keep 6 to 8 goldfish that are 5 cm to 7 cm long. Adult fish that are more than 8 cm long should not be kept in small glass tanks, but in luxurious large glass tanks or ceramic tanks, and equipped with a small oxygenator to prevent hypoxia. The above stocking density is only a reference. It also depends on the water temperature, the size of the fish and the quality of the water. It cannot be determined mechanically. Generally speaking, if the fish is large, you should keep fewer; you can keep more in winter and less in summer; you can keep more when the water temperature is low and less when the water temperature is high.
