1. How to raise silver arowana?

Silver arowana is very good breeding, generally as long as the water quality is good, sufficient feed can grow healthily, specific breeding methods are as follows:

1, fish tank selection: silver arowana is a large ornamental fish, active, so when choosing a tank, try to choose a larger space covered fish tank is the best, generally choose a length of 1.5m, width of 50cm, height of 70cm covered fish tank culture can be.

2, new fish into the tank: just bought the fish tank, there will be chlorine, so put tap water in advance for three days, and then put it in the sun exposure can be effectively removed. If there are conditions, the water in the original fish tank can be pumped into the new fish tank to help the new fish adapt to the environment.

3. Food feeding: arowana is a carnivorous animal, often eating daphnia, small fish, shrimp, etc., so if you want to raise arowana well, you need to train the newly introduced arowana fry, and feed different foods during different growth periods to promote their growth. Specific feeding methods are as follows:

(1)10 Small fry within day age: mainly blood-activating insects. Before feeding, blood-activating insects can be soaked in 3% salt and 5g/L furacilin aqueous solution for 15 minutes before feeding. The feeding amount is 20 minutes.

(2)10 Nursery after age: feeding freeze-frozen blood worms.

(3)3 Four months old fish: shrimp was the main feeding method. When feeding, shrimp was fed 5 times a day in the first month, 4 times a day in the second month, 3 times a day in the third month,

(4)3 Silver arowana over 1 month: mainly feed shrimp, feed twice a day.

4, adjust the density: silver arowana growth speed is very fast, so according to the actual situation to adjust the density, generally every other month to adjust once, and each time the number of adjustments as much as possible halved. For example, 150 fish per tank for the first time, 70 fish per tank for the second time, 25 fish per tank for the third time, and gradually reduce the stocking quantity thereafter.

5, water quality management: silver arowana is suitable for living in weak acid water, so when water, try to adjust the water quality to between 6.5 and 7.5, and change the water every three days, change one third or one quarter of the water each time, and regularly clean filter cotton, white cotton and other filters to ensure clean water quality.

Second, silver arowana and what kind of fish mixed culture good?

Since most of the silver arowana body color is silvery white, it is too single to be raised alone, so several kinds of fish can be mixed to increase the color of the fish tank. Specific fish that can be mixed are:

1. Atlas fish: Atlas fish is about 30cm long, and its body color is covered with irregular red or orange stripes. It looks like a map, which can effectively make up for the monochrome of arowana and add color to the fish tank. However, the earth figure fish is greedy, so when breeding, we must ensure that there is enough food, lest the silver arowana eat not enough, was starved to death.

2, parrot fish: parrot fish body length of about 33cm, fish body color has green orange, blue, yellow and other colors, can effectively make up for silver arowana monochrome. However, when breeding, try to raise fish similar to the size of silver arowana, so as not to be too small to be injured by silver arowana attack, so try to pay attention to breeding, but parrot fish recovery is strong, so it is easier to mix up.

3. Lucky fish: Lucky fish is about 15cm long and its body color is grayish brown. It is easy to feed. It can grow normally as long as the water temperature is 22-32 degrees. Therefore, it can be mixed with silver arowana to add some color to the fish tank.

4. Pineapple fish: Pineapple fish belongs to the lower layer fish, with a body length of 20cm. The body color is mostly light golden yellow, lavender, etc. The mixed culture of the two can effectively add color. In addition, pineapple fish adaptability, mild temperament, only when hungry will bully some small fish to eat, so try to ensure adequate food when mixed breeding.

5, flying phoenix fish: flying phoenix fish body length of about 30cm, fish body color diversity fresh and easy to feed, can effectively make up for silver arowana monochrome, increase the color of the fish tank.

6. Stingray: Stingray belongs to the lower layer fish. It has a gentle personality and a body length of about 50cm. It generally moves at the bottom of the tank or along the wall of the tank. Its body color is mostly black and brown. The silverfish is an upper fish, and the mixed culture of the two can add some color to the tank. However, because rays are not easy to raise and have high requirements for water quality, attention must be paid when polyculture.

In general, silver arowana is very good breeding, as long as the water quality is well controlled, reasonable feeding can grow healthily. However, due to the single body color of silver arowana, so when breeding, you can raise several ground fish, pineapple fish, parrot fish, etc. to add color to the fish tank.
