The appetite of arowana depends on the dragon breeders.

This is an old topic about the diet of arowana, but according to the regional environment, each person's situation, each arowana individual situation is different, what to feed, how to feed is still a problem that troubles many fish friends. Many senior fish friends are willing to share some of their personal experiences with them. You are welcome to communicate and discuss.

About the first bite?

The so-called first bite is the first bite that invites the dragon to eat at home, which I think is very important. this is equivalent to looking at the first impression of a person, the first bite is fierce and full of desire to eat, then the future food training will become very easy, just like a child, he will develop in whatever direction you treat him at the beginning, and it will be very difficult for the child who is used to it to correct it.

But most fish friends often find it difficult to control their inner joy and excitement after inviting an Ailong, and often wait for the dragon to enter the tank safely, they can't wait to tease the dragon with all kinds of bait, fearing that Ailong will be bumpy all the way, hungry and aggrieved. On the contrary, the arowana turned a blind eye to the food, so that many fish friends were inexplicably lost, but they were not reconciled and tried, but the results were disappointing. The end result is that the skin of the dragon is also seductive.

There are also fish traders who stopped eating for a few days and sent to the fish friends' home to enter the tank very smoothly. On the same day, the fish friends rubbed the individual who wanted to eat. The fish friends were also excited and happy. After eating, the arowana opened their mouth, so the fish friends began to send Q group messages to the forum to show off that they had invited a good dragon. I opened my mouth that day. And the consequence of feeding on the same day is often that the arowana no longer opens its mouth in the following two or three days, or eats very listlessly, completely losing the desire, ferocity and dexterity that the arowana should have.

Just imagine, you were hungry for a day or two or three days, anesthetized in a dark bag, then suddenly went down to a strange environment, and then set a table for you. My dear, are you the pervert who goes up there and eats Haisai? Normal people will not, normal fish will not, there are many examples, people hungry for many days, suddenly eat, either sick or sudden death, such examples are not absent, and very typical. So my experience is that we should be ruthless to the invited arowana, and it is best not to feed him for two to three days, so that he can have a process of adaptation, let him adapt to the environment, gradually get familiar with its new owner, and let him slowly relieve and recover from the fatigue of the journey.

Then, fill it with the desire to eat, make it eat ferociously and smoothly at the first bite, make it remember and be familiar with your figure, plants and trees know the wind and rain, not to mention the spiritual arowana, just like the wolf's first mouthful of mutton, it will remember this taste for a lifetime, remember you and remember your figure in front of the tank.

What about feeding?

With the development of the water pet market and the express industry, there are plenty of bait to choose from and buy, such as small fish, shrimp, barley worm, turtle, sea shrimp, river shrimp, centipede, Dubiya cockroach, dragonfly larva, many fish friends also home-made beef heart hamburger and other secondary processing bait, and so on.

But what is good to feed, what to feed economically and scientifically, healthy and safe, this is the question in front of fish friends. In the face of the increasingly noisy city, he Yong sang in the Bell and Drum Tower: "who raised the question so difficult, there are correct answers everywhere", and we face the test of how to choose the bait of all the fish.

In my personal experience, there is nothing to consider, but mainly small fish and shrimp, occasionally build something else, once or twice a month. Some people say that red dragons eat centipedes to induce color will accelerate red, eat what small soft-shelled turtle will make up for what, if you have too much money to spend, or to have some fun, then feel free.

Arowana does have special preferences for insects such as barley worms and centipedes. If you show the strength and beauty of arowana in order to take pictures of live food, then I agree, but as daily bait, I don't support it. Because of the red dragon with good blood, it will be red if you don't eat the centipede, and the red or orange dragon can't be red no matter how you feed the centipede! One of the biggest disadvantages of the bait of insects such as barley worms is that it is dirty (all kinds of parasites and bacteria), and the other is that the head and hard shell of the body are difficult to digest. Don't ask the fish merchant or the feed operator if it is good to feed these things. This is equivalent to asking the barber if you want a haircut.

In fact, many times, fish friends do not have to ask why. As the saying goes, it is better to learn than to steal. No matter how good the master is, the real skill is stolen and pecked and ground. To put it bluntly, how to do it in the fishing ground, how to feed it, and how to feed fish merchants, just do what you do, how you feed it.

Have you ever seen which fishery or fish merchant fed centipedes to dragons or small soft-shelled turtles in one day? when people take a picture of a centipede in order to promote sales, you think this is their daily bait? Is that because you are too naive or too simple? You'd better find the answer by yourself.

The first advantage of small fish and shrimp is safety, the second is economic benefits, and the third is that it can meet the daily growth and development needs of dragon fish. Many fish friends' dragons will die suddenly for no reason. Apart from the causes of water quality or internal trauma caused by the collision of the tank, there is one thing that can not be ignored, that is, the disease enters through the mouth.

I very much disapprove of feeding the dragon the high-fat offal meat bait of beef heart hamburger. first of all, it is very easy to get dirty water. if you don't want to cause a flood of protein bugs, don't feed them. For example, my red dragon used to be good-tasting mutton. After I fed it for a while, protein bugs broke out in the tank. All kinds of ways to deal with it are tears. Second, although it is arowana omnivorous fish, but its organs can not be the same as people, beef and mutton, especially beef and mutton for a long time, people can not stand eating, not to mention dragon fish.

About how to feed?

As far as red dragons are concerned, red dragons are generally divided into fast feeding and slow feeding, and pressure feeding is rarely used, so they can be fed normally. 20 centimeters per mile, twice a day, 8 to 9 centimeters full, 30 centimeters per day, once a day, 8 or 9 centimeters full, more than 35 centimeters and Jackie Chan, according to the individual condition of the fish, once two to three days, 8 or 9 minutes at a time. Stop eating one day a week.

In the case of Jinlong, the performance of Jinlong, which is already quite perfect, that is, the real high-end cross-back, can be fed normally without pressure. It is not the so-called overback of three or five thousand or five or six thousand now. I personally think that no matter how it is called, it is not too much. It can only be said to be a high-back B-pass with good performance.

Why it is generally accepted that a B-pass rating is due to the fact that the golden arowana whose performance is not good enough to meet the real standard is B-pass, but for the domestic market, which is accustomed to madness and disorder, it is seldom heard that B has passed recently. Three or four thousand excesses are very popular.

Fish farms and fish traders are not entirely to blame for this phenomenon. We fish friends must bear the unshirkable responsibility. If every fish friend is very calm-headed, not by that kind of white flowers, the so-called over-back that can not be divided into scales and frames, and lose at least his reason, and deceive himself and others by saying that I have bought too much, then this phenomenon will not happen. Jinlong will reduce prices with the breeding number of fishing grounds and various superb means of fish traders, but at least it will not cause the crazy and speechless situation that has occurred since the end of 2011.

Back to the book, or back to how to feed, my method is to feed shrimp for two or three days, change to feed small goldfish for a day or two, and feed pellet feed once a fortnight or so. Some people say that my dragon does not eat that kind of feed. I can tell you that up to now, I have handled 7 dragons more or less. Except for the dragons at the beginning, the four dragons behind all eat pellet feed.

If your dragons don't eat, it means that you are used to feeding barley worms and small soft-shelled turtles, and it is very difficult to change. I just talked about the importance of the first bite. I'm not going to repeat it here. If you want the dragon to eat pellet feed, the best way is to start with small fish and shrimp.

When you stop eating one day every week, if the water quality is good, the state is good, and the dragon has a very strong desire to eat, you feel that it is looking at you eagerly, rubbing the tank or staring back and forth to swim with you, throw in a few pellets of feed at this time, nine out of ten dragon fish will eat, and will eat very delicious. In the first few times of feeding, it is best to soak in warm water for three or five minutes. When the pellet feed becomes soft and not rotten, the arowana will be eaten smoothly.

All above, I hope it will be of some help to what and how to feed some lost fish friends. I think it doesn't matter whether you are an old fish oil player who has played for more than ten years or a novice who has been in the industry for less than a year or two. whether you have the top N-digit income of Minglong, or the small interest of taking your salary from your lover's wife to pay for the dragon, the goal is basically the same. Go farther, longer and happier on the road of raising dragons and loving dragons.
