The loving couple died and the rest of the hunger strike

My two silver arowana and two seven-star knives are mixed. The two kinds of fish have their own waters, with arowana in the upper layer and swordfish in the lower layer. Do not interfere with each other and live in harmony. Qixing Dao is native to Japan, also known as Toyo Dao, back-to-back fish.

My seven-star knife is one foot and four inches long. The dark gray body was flat and smooth and shiny as satin. Small head has a pair of night-luminescent pearl-like eyes, can find food at night, is a nocturnal fish. The dorsal fin is very small, and the ventral fin and caudal fin grow together. The flat and wide body is dotted with ink and star-like dots with white edges. It can move forward and swim backwards. When swimming back, the ventral fin makes a wavy movement and the body retreats lightly. Like a black ribbon fluttering in the water, beautiful, wonderful.

A pair of seven-star knives never separate, swim with each other, motionless at the bottom of the water at rest, their bodies snuggle close to each other, and their heads against their heads. Last winter, a seven-star knife got sick and didn't eat or move. I tried my best to cure it, but it didn't get any better. I finally fell down, and the other one was close to it. The sick fish struggled to lean up for a while and then fell down. Finally, the sick fish stopped moving and his belly was facing up and leaning against the bottom. At this time, the other one was still head to head with it, but he could not stand shoulder to shoulder. See at this time, I am very sad, I do not have the heart to fish out the dead fish, let the living fish without company, endure loneliness.

From then on, the seven-star knife stopped eating for as long as two months, gradually lost weight and rarely swam. Every day quietly in the common territory of the two alone, guarding. I stroked it gently for a while every day, and it swam passively several times. Then I wanted to find another companion for it. So I went to buy a small one. A few days later it began to eat, and I was overjoyed. Soon they put their heads against each other again. Now the small seven-star knife has been longer than the original one.

Thinking of the lost Seven Star Dao, I still miss it. When I bought it, it was only 8 centimeters long, the seven-star spot on the body was the size of a grain of rice, and the seven-star spot on the body at the time of death was already the size of a quail egg. For 20 months. It was gone. I weighed it 1.5 jin and took a picture of it and saved it into the computer. It's kind of a souvenir. In memory of that pair of loving seven-star knives.

When you see this, you must want to say how good it is that this "original match" is alive and well. So the seven-star knife won't eat any more. What should we do?

There are many reasons why the seven-star swordfish do not eat. Do not administer medicine blindly. If you are hungry for a few days, you should have a general understanding of the habits of the seven-star swordfish. The seven-star swordfish belongs to nocturnal swordfish and likes live bait. Very few seven-star swordfish will eat fodder. As for the seven-star swordfish that does not eat, it is mainly divided into the following situations:

1. New fish in the tank

The newly bought seven-star swordfish has a period of adaptation to the environment, about a week or so, during which there is no need to worry too much, we need to maintain good water quality and give it a quiet environment as far as possible. At the same time, do not feed in broad daylight. The seven-star swordfish is a nocturnal fish that eats at night.

2. The water quality is not good

If the seven-star swordfish is suddenly unable to move and does not eat, except for the first situation, you need to consider what actions you have done recently to change the environment of the seven-star swordfish, such as adding some water purification agents or nitrifying bacteria and so on. at the same time, observe the water quality, whether there are any external signs of illness, if the water quality is excluded, change the water as soon as possible to maintain good water quality.

3. Be frightened

When the seven-star swordfish is frightened, it will hide in the corner or at the bottom of the tank, so it is difficult to swim and eat less. It is necessary to think about whether there is any loud noise or children in your family recently.

4. Feed too much or feed incorrectly

If you feed too much food that is not easy to digest at once, the seven-star swordfish will be in a depressed state in the next few days, eating less or not, and sometimes it may be that you are feeding the wrong food. I have seen many fish friends ask: what kind of feed does the seven-star knife fish eat? After starving for many days, the seven-star swordfish will be forced to accept artificial feed, which is very incorrect. Very few of the seven-star swordfish can accept feed. This seven-star swordfish will eat their own feed without being extremely hungry. So it is suggested that we should not do such a thing in the future.

5. Get sick

If you rule out the above situations, the seven-star swordfish may be sick at this time, and the most likely thing is to send inward. The external manifestation of this disease is not obvious. If you are sure it has to be sent inward, you can use drugs such as dichlorfon or trichlorfon to give a certain dose according to the size of your fish tank and the condition of the fish.

There are many reasons why the seven-star knife fish do not eat. The most commonly used treatment is to starve for a few days first. Although this is more safe, it is still recommended to prescribe the right medicine to the case, while delaying the disease leads to death. Raising seven-star knife fish also requires patience and care.
