Rich fish
The famous name of rich fish is blood parrot. Because of its red body, everyone calls it rich fish. Rich fish It is also favored by everyone because of its unique appearance. In the process of cultivating giant fish, Yang Jun only needs to pay attention to seven aspects to ensure that the giant fish can be cultured prosperously and beautifully.
1. Water quality
Developed fish are extremely adaptable to water quality and can survive well in water quality ranging from weakly acidic to neutral. However, It is best to use water with weak water quality and low hardness to raise it. In addition, because developed fish have the ability to heal their mouths (especially developed fish of special A and A grades), the ability to introduce water through the gills for breathing is reduced by half. Therefore, the respiratory efficiency of the gills has become a significant "fatal injury"! Once the gills are injured or the process of absorbing oxygen is not smooth, it will directly affect the psychological development of the fish.
Therefore, raising developed fish requires better water quality and sufficient oxygen. In particular, it is very important to reduce the melted nutrients in the water to prevent excessive growth of bacteria and cause gill diseases, and to protect the ability of gill cells to effectively absorb oxygen. In order to improve and stabilize water quality, the breeding tank is best equipped with biochemical filter cotton, oxygen pump, and oxygen aeration equipment.
2. The importance of changing water
During feeding, it was discovered that after changing the water, the parrots were very active and their expressions were brighter. The blood parrot's ancestors grew up in South America, so the water quality conditions it requires are the same as those of common Central and South American cichlids, requiring water that is weakly acidic and low in hardness. The weakness of the gills is a pity for the genius of this fish. Poor water quality will first cause injuries to the gills and directly affect the life of the blood parrot. Therefore, blood parrots need good water quality and sufficient oxygen than other fish. In particular, the water quality cannot be too old, so regular and quantitative water changes are also the key to raising good parrots. My experience is that the water should be changed every three days, and the water change should not exceed a quarter of the tank water at one time. Before changing the water, wipe the tank and filter it for a few hours. Wait until the water is clear before changing the water. Parrots prefer new water, and the new water mentioned here is the best water. Some feeds can make the water red or yellow. Frequent water changes can also solve the color problem of the water produced by the feed. At the same time, a highly effective filtration system should be prepared to fully circulate the water to avoid excessive growth of bacteria and cause gill diseases.
3. Temperature
Developed fish are quite "sensitive" to temperature.The reason for the fish species is not that the fish body is very poor in compliance with temperature, but because in the environment of low water temperature and drastic changes in water temperature, it is easy to lose its distinctive body color due to psychological reactions, and even worse. Black stripes or patterns appear.
Use a heater to raise the water temperature to a range of 25 to 28°C, so that the fish can show bright body colors and be full of vitality. Fish that live in low water temperatures for a long time are not only in poor health, but also prone to illness and death. Frequent water changes should not be too much, and /3~1/4 is considered appropriate. The water temperature difference before and after water changes should not exceed 1℃. p > < p > Water lice and more. It is like a trash can, accepting everything. And they are quite greedy, so it is easy to raise a giant fish, but it is not easy to raise a giant fish with strong physique and bright color.
Early anecdotal rumors: "Blood parrots need to eat shrimps to become rosy!" This concept is quite accurate. Because the "astaxanthin" in shrimps can promote the body color of developed fish, if astaxanthin can be fully absorbed, it is inevitable that the body color of developed fish will be bright red.
However, there is no need to worry about it now. Many anecdotal reports have added astaxanthin and "β-carotene" to the feed of developed fish species, which can be fed directly. It can keep the body color of developed fish in bright red.
5. Situation
You may have also discovered that the fish will fade a little in the first few days after it arrives in your tank. That is because there is no conform to. As their adaptability improves, they will gradually get better. So, don't surprise them, which is another simple way to deal with the problem of fading. In addition, if the parrot's color becomes lighter for more than three months, it will basically not return to its original color. Another problem with parrots is that they always gather in a corner of the tank and run around when people come over. This is because they have not adapted to the new situation. Parrots are naturally fragile, love to get together, and occasionally lose their scales. One reason is that the fish is sick, but it is most likely caused by the fact that this fish is relatively timid and loves to collide. Therefore, five points should be paid attention to when feeding: 1/ You may wish to turn on the light before feeding. After turning on the light for five minutes, wait until all the fish are in compliance and gradually become bolder before feeding. After a long time, the conditions are reflected, and the parrot will come over by itself as soon as the light is turned on. 2/ Feed once a day and establish a routine. Before each feeding, the fish feel hungry and they have to come out to find food. Don't be frightened. When approaching the fish tank, be slow. The fish will run away when it sees a human figure in the tank, so don't let anyone's shadow enter the fish tank before approaching the fish tank. When feeding food, stay in front of the tank for a while. When the situation is quiet, gently pat the tank and practice for a while.
6. Mixed culture
Many families and companies install aquariums in which they like to keep a group of mature fish alone. Watching a group of thriving mature fish swimming in the aquarium is a magnificent and moving scene. However, there is another group of people who prefer mixed aquariums.
In terms of the selection of fish species for polyculture, it is strongly recommended to use some cichlids from Central and South America, especially some medium and large cichlids. Since the body shape of the developed fish is similar to a triangle and the mouth shape cannot be closed tightly, which reduces the aggressiveness (it can only punch but not bite), you may wish to use fish such as golden pineapple and dark cloud to match it. In addition to having various body colors, In addition to coordination, we can also achieve a state of peaceful coexistence under a certain stability.
7. Landscaping
For these fish with red bodies and simple expressions, the landscaping in the water is not only about the matching of colors and In addition to avoiding the use of plants as landscaping materials, you also need to consider the strength of the fish body's conflict, so the stability of the landscaping is also a must.
There are many landscaping worth mentioning for the reference of the visitors. One is the dead wood or the dead wood of grown moss. Most of them are placed in the center of the aquarium, together with the developed fish. When paired with the bright red, there is a more lively contrasting effect; the second is an aquatic landscape made of petrified wood or stacked rocks. They are often arranged in simple or multiple stone piles in the aquarium. Naturally, the aquarium must be large enough to have more choices and changes.
After reading the above seven points, I believe everyone has a rough understanding of the breeding of giant fish. Generally speaking, the vitality of giant fish is strong and does not require too much care, but it is Regular regular maintenance cannot be ignored.
