What is the appropriate water temperature for silver arowana?

Silver arowana, also known as silver ribbon fish, silver boat fish, dragon spitting bead fish, etc., is one of the main ornamental fish in China. It is very popular in Southeast Asia due to feng shui demand, and its personality is very mild and easy to feed among all bone hyoid fish. But we should pay attention to the breeding temperature. Let's take a look at the appropriate water temperature.

What is the appropriate water temperature for silver arowana?

Silver arowana can adapt to neutral water quality and water temperature above 22 ℃, and the optimum temperature is 24-28 ℃. The water quality should be clean and the tap water should be treated. The amount of water exchanged for one time should be less, and the pH and temperature of the added water should be suitable. Raise the aquarium with a 1.5-meter-long large box, do not need to lay sand to plant grass, because the silver dragon fish often go to the upper layer, swimming in the surface water, the box mouth with a net cover to prevent jumping. In order to keep the water quality clean, the filter should always be turned on. Water quality, environment, bait and other conditions are good, one year can be as long as 50-60 cm. Can be fed with small fish and shrimp, goldfish, but also eat meat, insects and so on.

Effect of water temperature on silver arowana

1. The influence of low water temperature: the water temperature of silver arowana is less than 25 degrees, or even less than 22 degrees, which will cause slow swimming, loss of appetite, anti-feeding phenomenon, decreased resistance, light cases cause various diseases, severe cases lead to death.

2. The influence of high water temperature: the higher the water temperature, the greater the oxygen consumption of fish. Silver arowana water temperature is higher than 28 degrees, in the range of 28-32 degrees, it is easy to cause varying degrees of hypoxia problems, if more than 32 degrees, it will seriously affect the life safety of silver arowana.

Regulation method of water temperature of silver arowana

1. Daily management: in the daily management of silver dragon fish, we should not only pay attention to timing and quantity, but also pay attention to the temperature difference when changing water. Silver arowana is very sensitive to the change of water temperature, when changing water, the temperature difference between new and old water should not exceed 2 degrees, the injection of new water must be injected slowly to keep the water temperature constant.

2. Temperature equipment: although there is a great difference in climate between the south and the north, the methods of heating or cooling are more or less the same.

① autumn and winter adjustment: when the temperature is low in autumn and winter, you can use automatically adjustable glass or stainless steel electric heating pipes in the fish tank to set the water temperature between 25 and 28 degrees, or you can lay heating lines at the bottom of the fish tank to help heat up.

② spring and summer regulation: when the temperature is high in spring and summer, you can be equipped with refrigerators, electric fans, etc., or you can put ice in the bottle in the fish tank to achieve the cooling effect.
