What should I do when I go out on holiday to play with the fish at home?

Dragon Boat Festival holiday is coming, three-day holiday, go out to play, the family fish farming friends are distressed, worried about the fish at home, can not let go out to play, but it is not easy to take three days off not to travel.

Today, I will give you some suggestions to let you go out and have fun. You can refer to it.

Electrical inspection: check all electrical appliances, lights, pumps and heating rods before going out to make sure there are no safety risks.

How to ensure water quality: since no one at home can't change the water, you should do the following work before leaving: wash the filter material one day in advance, and then change the water on the next day, the day before you leave.

Fish feeding: some friends mentioned to feed more to save time from hunger, in fact, this is not desirable. Too much feeding can easily leave residual bait at the bottom, resulting in bad water quality. if you add luck and a power outage at home a few days after leaving, it will add fuel to the fire. In fact, the physical consumption of fish in the fish tank is not great, even under normal circumstances, as long as the water quality can be guaranteed, there is no problem without feeding for a few days. So the right thing to do is to still feed normally, or even start feeding a little less a few days in advance to let the fish adapt.

Fish tank lighting: if there is a timer, of course, it is best, according to the original settings, if there is no timer, do not keep the light on. The consequences of not turning off the lights for a few days, even if the fish can stand it, it is estimated that when you come back, you will see many troublesome friends in the fish tank-"algae". So what should we do? If the lighting of the room is good, try to open the curtains and rely on normal light to maintain the lighting of the fish tank.

The above points have been done. It is estimated that it will not be a big problem to go out for a week. After the game is over, when we get home, the condition of the fish tank is normal, so what should we do?

Or start from the water quality: first change the water 1tick 4 or so, the water to be changed is fully aerated with an air pump for at least 1 hour, if there is no air pump, use half hot water and half tap water, wait until the temperature is right. If you clean the filter material on the second or third day, there will be no problem.

Feeding: don't let the fish have a big meal as soon as you get home. You should feed the fish step by step, according to half of the normal feeding amount before walking, and then return to normal in about 4 days after a little more every day.

Lighting: the time of turning on the light every day increases gradually from 4 hours, and gradually returns to normal after a week. (except those controlled by timer)

That's all for today. I hope the above content can help you ~ wish you all good health during the Dragon Boat Festival.
