Giant fish (definite introduction) )
The giant freshwater mermaid has a gentle personality and a peaceful habit. From the side, it looks like a swallow flying in the air, so it is also called a swallow fish. Giant mermaids have beautiful colors and have no strict requirements for water quality. It is very suitable for raising at home, but although it is easy to raise freshwater giant mermaids, you still need certain methods to really raise it well.
First of all, we start with fish selection. The choice of giant mermaid is very important to us aquarists. The key is to choose a good fish and solve a lot of troubles for our future breeding work. So how to choose a better giant mermaid? I think we can start from the following aspects:
First, look at the brightness of the fish's scales and the body scales of the good fish. The display is neat and the color is beautiful. The poor fish has freckles on the body and the color is dim;
Second, look at the fish swimming dexterity. Good fish are active and lively, and like to play in all kinds of water. If they are energetic, they may get into fights. If you encounter this kind of fish, please ask all aquarists to take it home.
The second step is to choose a tank. After you have selected the good fish, you have to consider the choice for your beloved little fish. Depending on the size of the fish, you can choose the fish tank you like. I have 10 Egyptian fish of about 10 cm. I personally purchased a 1m tank for my love fish. For DIY, you may consider DIY or directly purchase a ready-made finished tank. If you are more relaxed, you may choose to spread some bottom sand, get some aquatic plants, and do some mahogany landscaping. However, the level of some parts is limited, and you can only give your fish a little bottom sand. , I don’t dare to mess with the rest too much, for fear of inefficient water quality.
Again, you have to take a look at the filter. Whether the water quality is good or bad, filtration plays an irreplaceable and key role. Good filtration is crucial to the construction of the nitrification system, so we must pay attention to the selection of the filtration system.use. The water pump should be roughly considered based on the capacity and lift of the fish tank to avoid affecting the water quality. A large amount of filter material is the most critical part of protecting the water quality, so this aspect cannot be underestimated. There is a saying that ten liters of water per kilogram is absolutely fine based on this ratio.
The last step is feeding, which requires attention to two aspects, timing and quantity.
1. On time:
It is better to feed in the morning than in the evening, and it is better to feed once than many times. Fish farming is for observation, not for management. One step a day can make the fish grow well. Feed on time every day, and the fish will jump bravely after eating. If they are hungry, they will swim less. Looking for food is a kind of exercise. In nature, fish often don't have enough to eat, but this is the reason why they live well.
2. Quantitative:
< p style="text-indent:2em;">Originally, once the fish was full, it refused to eat even if I tried to eat it again. The first quantitative method is to feed a little less first so that the fish will finish eating quickly, and then feed a little less until some fish stutter, which means they are bulging. Without reducing or reducing the number of fish, just control this amount or slightly less than this amount every time. Once the fish cannot finish eating or does not eat within the normal time, it means that some or all of the fish are sick and should stop eating for inspection or even adjustment.The above is a relatively low-level way to raise freshwater giant mermaids. It is suitable for beginners. I hope it can help. to the master.
