Red carp is what we often say can bring luck to the koi, its scales are very beautiful, is a popular ornamental fish. So, how to raise red carp?

1. Fish tank

Choose a medium-sized water tank and install heating rods, filters, bottom sand, fish tank lights, etc., because the red carp eat a lot of food and feces, so it is necessary to install a filter.

2. Raising water

Koi and goldfish have lax requirements on water temperature and water quality, the suitable temperature range is 2 ℃ ~ 30 ℃, but they can not resist the sudden change of water temperature and the temperature difference exceeding 2 ℃ ~ 3 ℃ will cause discomfort, and the optimum water temperature is 20 ℃ ~ 25 ℃. Sufficient oxygen is needed, which is suitable for living in a slightly alkaline, low hardness water environment. Diet requirement

3. Feed

Koi is an omnivorous fish, which can be eaten by molluscs, fragments of higher aquatic plants, benthos and even tiny algae or synthetic pellet bait. Can be fed with bean cake crumbs, vegetable cake crumbs, bread crumbs, shrimp, red worms and so on. Feed 1-2 times a day.

4. Feeding density

Common carp is a kind of highly adaptable fish, and koi also retains this characteristic. They can be raised anywhere from fish tanks to outdoor ponds, and they quickly grow to 30 centimeters long or larger, so using a traditional indoor fish tank is not as good as a round plastic basin. Koi is a cold-water fish, so it is best to raise koi at a depth of half a meter or more in hot places in summer.

5. Check stool

The fecal and urinary status of brocade carp is also a sign of the health of brocade carp. Sometimes fish droppings appear on the surface of the pond water, which is proof of indigestion and should be stopped immediately. Feces which are lighter than the pool water are not good. When the feces of koi are white gelatin, it is a dangerous signal of intestinal mucosal exfoliation, and enteritis and perforation will occur if not treated immediately.

The breeding method of red carp is not difficult, raising can not only refresh the mood, but also enjoy the joy brought by the growth of koi.
