How to raise butterfly carp

Butterfly carp is a common ornamental fish, generally people who like to raise fish will raise several, and if you want to raise butterfly carp, you need to master the technology, otherwise they will all die in a few days, how to raise butterfly carp?

1. Choose a fish tank

When breeding butterfly carp, it is necessary to choose a fish tank of suitable specifications. If the size of the fish tank is relatively small, the water quality will be more difficult to control. The larger the size of the fish tank, the less difficult it will be to control the concentration of waste. Many novices who have just started breeding are buying a small fish tank separated by a filter tank. This kind of fish tank will be more difficult to clean. If you want to clean it, you need a lot of water. Therefore, it is not recommended to choose this kind of fish tank for culture.

2. Regulation of water quality

Put an appropriate amount of nitrifying bacteria into the purchased fish tank to regulate the water quality, and then release the butterfly carp seedlings on the third day.

3. Feed the food properly

Generally, it is appropriate to feed once a day, and keep in mind that it is not more than twice. Because the novice has just raised butterfly carp and has not fully grasped the water quality and the effects of feces and food residues on water quality, it is enough to feed once a day. During this period, the feeding amount should not be too much, because the probability of starvation of butterfly carp is relatively low, and excessive feeding will not be conducive to their healthy growth. In serious cases, it can lead to direct death.

4. Clean the filter

The filter is very critical to the growth of butterfly carp, in which the nitrifying bacteria on the filter material is an important guarantee to ensure the robust growth of butterfly carp. Cleaning the filter material too frequently or replacing all the filter materials will not be conducive to their normal growth and development.

The correct way is to separate the time for changing water and cleaning the filter material, and wash the filter material casually or in batches. If the butterfly carp reacts abnormally after cleaning the filter, stop feeding for 2-3 days and put in an appropriate amount of nitrifying bacteria to adjust the water quality.

5. Frequency of changing water

In the process of culture, it is necessary to adjust the water temperature of the fish tank and change the water in time according to the water quality. the frequency of changing water should not be too much, and the frequency of changing water should be determined according to the amount of feed. generally, the water can be changed every 15 days, and the amount of water can be changed every 15 days. when changing water, we should pay attention to the speed of adding water not too fast, which can be controlled within 20-30 minutes. Due to the change of water quality, it has a great influence on butterfly carp. Therefore, a small amount of water quality stabilizer can be put in before changing water, and it is not appropriate to put it after adding water.

To sum up, butterfly carp are easy to raise, as long as you choose a suitable fish tank, buy an oxygen pump, then put an appropriate amount of nitrifying bacteria to regulate the water quality before putting it into the water, and finally put it into the water, feed it well and change the water to grow healthily.
