I tell you to pay attention to the water temperature of peacock fish.

In fact, we can only hear this name to know that its tail is like a peacock opening screen, very beautiful, especially high ornamental value, peacock fish is a kind of fish with high ornamental value, which is very suitable for raising at home.

I tell you to pay attention to the water temperature of peacock fish.

1. Suitable temperature

The peacock fish has strong adaptability and can survive in the temperature range of 16-34 ℃, while the most suitable growth temperature is 22-30 ℃ and the pH value is 7.2-7.4. For peacock fish, some people think that it can withstand the lowest water temperature of 15 ℃, while others think that the lowest temperature that peacock fish can withstand is 16 ℃. Some experts have done experiments on this, and found that the peacock fish can still swim freely at a water temperature of 16 ℃. However, at the water temperature of 14-12 ℃, the peacock fish began to react slowly, gradually lost their balance, and even died. Therefore, in a family environment, when the water temperature is lower than 14 ℃, you should use a heater or heat rod.

Second, reproduction temperature

When breeding peacock fish, we should choose a larger aquarium, keep the water temperature at 26 ℃, and at the same time, we need a variety of aquatic plants, and then put them into the fish according to the ratio of 1 male to 4 females. When the female is pregnant, the fetal plaque becomes large and black, and the anus protrudes, it can be fished into another aquarium to give birth. The temperature in the waiting box should be 1 / 2 ℃ higher than the original water temperature. Put moss or aquatic plants at the bottom of the box to provide a shelter for small fish. After giving birth, the female fish should be fished out immediately so as not to eat the larvae, or use plastic sheets to form a funnel-shaped separation wall and immerse them in the water, and put the female larvae in the funnel, so that the larvae will fall from under the funnel into the water outside the funnel, and the females will not be able to eat the larvae.

How to raise peacock fish

First, there should be a proper water temperature.

The acceptable water temperature of peacock fish ranges from 18 ℃ to 34 ℃. If it is lower than 18 ℃, it is more likely to have some conditions, such as loss of appetite, mental impotence, susceptibility to diseases such as water mildew, etc., so you can decide whether to use a heater according to your own circumstances.

Second, the appropriate PH value in water

The most suitable pH value for peacock fish is between PH6.5~PH7.5, the pH value in the water has a great influence on the peacock fish, and the pH value is logarithmic, so the water of PH5 is ten times that of PH6 and a hundred times that of PH7, so it is only a small "1" gap for human beings, and for peacock fish, I am afraid it is already tortured to death.

In addition, it should be noted that if the breeders change water less, over time, the water quality has already become acidic because of various factors, at this time, if a large number of water is suddenly changed, it is bound to cause a considerable impact on peacock fish.

3. Proper hardness in water

Peacock fish like hard water, and the hardness is about 10 to 15 degrees. Even so, according to the moderator, the hardness of water will not have much effect on peacock fish. Take two countries with a considerable history of keeping peacocks: Germany and Japan as examples. German water is hard water, while Japanese water quality is soft water, and these two completely different conditions can raise peacocks very well. It can be seen that the peacock has a strong adaptability and does not need the owner to bother to adjust the hardness of the water. This is one of the reasons why many people often say that peacock fish are easy to raise.

Breeding prospect of peacock fish

1. Easy to reproduce

The breeding cycle of arowana is 5 ~ 10 years. Although Luohan can lay eggs every month, the success rate of reproduction is poor. Peacock fish is not so troublesome. With a breeding cycle of about 25 to 28 days, it only takes 3 to 4 months to reproduce from fry to adult fish, and each time they give birth can produce 10 million to 100 tail. This kind of reproduction, this kind of reproduction speed, can really be regarded as the best among today's popular ornamental fish. Basically, for the current domestic peacock fish, fry will be born soon. This kind of ornamental fish, which is easy to burst, is fatal to those who like to breed.

2. Easy to innovate

In the world of ornamental fish, there is the possibility of innovation with high reproductive efficiency. Once a month, such a short cycle must give a stimulant to those friends who like to breed and innovate and cultivate new strains. In a short period of more than ten years, the number of peacock fish species has risen from hundreds to thousands, which is completely in line with the pace of the times, which has led to a gradual rise in the status of peacock fish, although it is not very prosperous in recent years. But I believe that even so, the prospect of peacock fish is still worth looking forward to.

3. Low price

As we all know, many ornamental fish can easily sell for more than ten thousand, and some of the best fish can be sold for more than one hundred thousand. Peacock fish are different, even if the best are rarely thousands, so such fish are more suitable for public breeding, which is why the audience is wide. In fact, this is like a horse, rich people, you can spend a lot of money to buy a good foal, while the average family, we buy a hundred-mile zebra. How many rich people are there? In the final analysis, there are still many ordinary people, and peacock fish belong to both ordinary and high-end fish friends.

4. Easy mixed culture

As the name implies, we are here to watch. Many friends like to mix many kinds of fish, while the peacock fish is gentle and can be mixed with almost all small fish, either in a water tank or in a bare tank.

How to change water for peacock fish

Peacock fish is one of the common ornamental fish, and many aquarium lovers like peacock fish very much. As the saying goes, fish culture should first raise water. Without clean and high quality water, peacock fish cannot live healthily, and you cannot appreciate its beauty and elegance. Raising peacock fish requires special attention. How to water the peacock fish is very important. Nowadays, many of the common purified aquatic products in daily life use a combination of several technologies. In fact, the focus of our life's requirements for water treatment technology is to replenish water safely. Special attention should be paid when passing water to peacock fish.

Many people like to use activated carbon and other materials as filter materials, because activated carbon can adsorb organic pollutants in water on its surface, but it has no adsorption capacity for bacteria, viruses, water and alkali, so it still has some defects. For example, the representative products that use activated carbon as filter material are water purifier, central water purifier and so on.

We all know that the growth of fish is inseparable from water, so the peacock fish is not different. If the peacock fish can grow healthily in the fish tank, the requirement for water quality is of course very important. Therefore, a reasonable grasp of the water exchange technology of peacock fish is very helpful to the breeding of peacock fish.
