What feed does Douyu eat? Douyu feeds it several times a day.

Douyu, known as China's Douyu, has a colorful appearance, looks particularly beautiful, but is combative by nature, especially when he matures and often fights fiercely for mating rights. There are many fish farmers who like to raise betta very much, so do you know what Douyu usually eats? How often do you feed?

What kind of feed does Douyu eat?

Can be fed with a variety of baits, try not to make Douyu's diet too monotonous. The artificial dried bait is usually nutritionally complete and clean and hygienic, which is a necessary bait for most people to feed Douyu; in order to adapt to the habits of Douyu's upper water activities, it is best to choose floating feed, if fresh live baits can be fed at intervals, such as harvest insects, wigglers, silk earthworms, water fleas and so on.

Douyu is fed several times a day.

For Douyu's relatively small fish, we choose to use very small fish feed, and then feed Douyu's little finger about 1/3 of the amount every day. Just feed it once a day.

Douyu needs breeding skills.

Douyu is not strict on temperature. Generally, he can survive within 20-30 ℃, and it is most suitable for its growth when the water temperature is 24-27 ℃. The pH of the water is suitable for neutral water, and the pH value is 6.5-7.2. Under artificial feeding conditions, the dissolved oxygen content is best maintained at 5mg/l. Raising more than two Douyu, because of their combative nature, in order to avoid a big fight, generally take separate breeding, fighting across the glass.

First of all, lay a layer of clean and thin bottom sand or colored sand at the bottom of the fish tank to stabilize the roots of cultivated aquatic plants on the one hand and provide attachment to microorganisms on the other. The appropriate ratio of water to bottom sand is 5:1. In order to maintain sufficient oxygen in the tank and provide an external place for fish to hide, algae such as goldfish algae, hydrilla algae and other aquatic plants with low demand for CO2 should be properly implanted.

Sufficient light is conducive to the photosynthesis of aquatic plants, and it is best to configure a small lamp with soft light in a small glass jar. Only need to use a plastic hose to remove the fecal dirt at the bottom of the tank by siphoning every 3 to 7 days, and about 1 / 3 of the sewage will be pumped into the tap water to create a clean water quality environment. Pay attention to remove the water surface oil film formed by residual bait and feces, you can use bamboo chopsticks to clip an absorbent paper and gently drag on the surface of the water.

Usually, the artificially dried bait has complete nutrients and is clean and hygienic, which is a necessary bait for most people to feed Douyu. In order to adapt to the habits of Douyu's upper water activities, it is best to choose floating feed. If you can feed fresh live bait at intervals, such as harvest worms, wigglers, silk earthworms, water fleas, etc., it will make Douyu's body color more colorful, and at the same time let you enjoy the fish food in the process of feeding the fish.

Douyu's requirements for Water quality

Douyu is not strict on temperature. Generally, he can survive within 4-31 ℃, and it is most suitable for its growth when the water temperature is 24-27 ℃. The pH value of water is suitable for neutral water, and the pH value is 6.5-7.2. Under artificial feeding conditions, the dissolved oxygen content is best kept at 5mg/l. In addition, we should also pay attention to control the content of some toxins in the water quality, take residual chlorine 0mg/l, nitrite 0mg/l, nitrate 5mg/l, ammonia 0mg/l and phosphate 0mg/l as standards to test whether your breeding water meets the needs of fish, and make timely adjustments to provide a suitable water quality environment for Douyu.

Through the above content, I believe that everyone has a certain understanding of Douyu's feeding skills. Douyu is a very popular ornamental fish, but betta culture also needs to pay attention to methods, so we had better understand the breeding skills of betta before raising betta!
