How to raise peacock fish well

Peacock and Red Arrow are the best tropical fish, even if you travel for 10 days and a half months, they won't die easily. Of course, it's just that they are hungry, and if you keep torturing them like this, they won't survive.

1. About changing water

You only need to change the water once a week. Preparation of special water, 2. Pick up 2 tap water in advance and leave it on the balcony for three days. Then tap water, add a small amount of hot water until the hand feels a little warm) it is very hot twice.

two。 About feeding.

Feed it once every morning, and don't feed too much each time. If you observe after feeding, you can see that the belly of the fish is round, and even the feces are still dragging under the belly of the fish, that means you have fed too much and you have to reduce the amount of food next time.

What kind of equipment is needed to raise peacock fish? The following is an introduction:

1. Fish tank

two。 Filtration apparatus (water quality conditioning agent) = feeding water

3. Heat preservation appliance

4. Feed (live bait, artificial feed)

5. Healthy peacock fish

1. Fish tank

The correct way to raise peacock fish is to use at least 3 fish tanks in a system.

One fish tank for feeding and spawning

There are 2 tanks for male and female fish.

In terms of the general living conditions in Taiwan (the same as in Japan), a small fish tank with a water volume of 12 to 18 liters is more appropriate. For medium-sized cylinders with more than 40 liters, the maintenance cycle or method is different from that of small cylinders, and the method of changing water must be chosen. According to the author's experience, fish tanks with more than 40 liters of water have a higher rate of illness and physical collapse than small tanks.

From practical experience, the author thinks that the most appropriate use of fish tanks is as follows:

The mating cylinder (containing 3pr) is about 18 liters.

The tank for spawning (juvenile fish) is about 12 liters

The juvenile fish feeding tank, which is just born to 30 days old (about 12 liters of fish tank), holds about 60 fish.

30-to 75-day-old juvenile fish feeding tanks (about 18-liter fish tanks) separate males and females, each with about 16

Adult fish feeding tank for more than 75 days (about 18 liter fish tank) male and female fish are separated, each with about 10

Adult fish feeding tank for more than 75 days (about 36 liter fish tank) male and female fish are separated, each with about 20

The breeding and mating tank of parent-selected fish is about 18 liters.

The tank for raising adult fish other than seed parents is about 36 liters ~ 90 liters.

The use of fish tanks with more than 50 liters of water to raise young fish has mixed advantages and disadvantages for the average lover. It takes a lot of time to maintain a fish tank of this size, so it is mostly based on the method of changing water.

It is generally believed that the water quality of fish tanks with large amounts of water is more stable, which is basically beyond doubt, but it is not suitable for delicate fish such as Taiwan peacock fish.

Peacock fish stores, most of the time in the observation of the fish tank, as long as the peacock fish has a slight condition can quickly take measures to deal with it. Although this kind of fish tank can raise a large number of fish, it is easy to cause infectious diseases and other problems if it is not careless, so it is not suitable for general lovers.

The fish tank is not as big as good. Choosing different sizes for different uses is the simplest way to raise peacock fish. Especially when raising breed relatives, it is best to keep them in the fish tank that you can most easily maintain.

To sum up, the author believes that the 18-liter fish tank is the easiest to use and the most easy to maintain, so this size of fish tank is also the most widely used by lovers in Japan.

two。 Filtration apparatus (water quality conditioning agent) = feeding water

A filter is an item that makes and maintains water. Therefore, it is not too much to say that different filtration methods will determine different water quality.

Filtering methods can be roughly divided into the following four types:

(1) the filtration method of bottom filter plate and bottom sand.

(2) filtering method of single sponge

(3) the filtration method of sponge and bottom sand.

(4) Upper filtration method

It seems that there are more enthusiasts in Taiwan who use methods (2) and (3). The advantage of method (2) is that when eating artificial feed or silk earthworms, the residue is easier to clean and it is easier to change water, and it is more advantageous if the fish tank is located in a place where weight must be taken into account. The disadvantage is that the water quality is easy to change rapidly, and it is difficult to do any landscape to highlight the beauty of peacock fish.
