symphysodon discus living habits
A large fish tank
The fish tank should be large: symphysodon discus needs a large water body, a quiet environment, a large tank and a lot of water, so that the water quality can be maintained. If there are too many fish, if there is less fish, you will be lonely and fight, and the group of fish will not easily get sick. Fish scramble for food is a sign of health. If there are fewer fish, there is no competition. If you don’t eat actively for a long time, you will easily get sick. If there are too many fish, the filter must keep up, otherwise the water will be easily mixed. Just imagine a 1.2-meter tank, raising 20 colorful, how spectacular. If it is less than 10, it will be deserted. Of course, it is not infinite, it is based on beauty. You can keep more in the bare tank.
2. The breadth of the landscape
Bare tank or semi-naked tank: You can put some high-end fake grass in the bare tank, about 30 yuan per aquarium in the aquarium store, sand will affect the cleaning. If you put more grass, you will put less fish. The view is the main focus, and the fish is just a foil. There are a few small fish and 2 colorful ones in the 1.2-meter grass tank. If we mainly focus on raising fish and appreciate the way the fish swim in the water, we cannot put more grass, or even no grass. Putting more fish and putting more grass cannot have both.
symphysodon discus rearing
1. Timing
It is better to feed in the morning than in the evening, and it is better to feed once than many times. Fish farming is for viewing, not for business, once a day is enough for the fish to grow well. Feed regularly every day, the fish will jump up when they eat, and when they are hungry, their swimming will increase. Looking for food is a kind of exercise. In nature, fish often do not get enough to eat, but they live well. This is the truth.
2. Quantitative
In fact, once the fish is full, if you want it to eat again, it will not eat it. The first quantitative method is to feed a little less first, the fish will soon finish eating, and then feed a little less, until some fish appear hesitant, that is, they are full. In the case of not increasing or decreasing the number of fish, you can master this amount or slightly less each time. Once the fish can’t finish eating or don’t eat within the normal time, it means that some or all of the fish are sick and should be stopped for observation and even treatment.
3. Qualitative
Here I mainly talk about blood worms. After buying blood worms, they must be disinfected, that is, first rinse with water and soak for 10 to 15 minutes, then put a little permanganate (the water is lavender), soak for 10 to 15 minutes, and then rinse , Drain the water, wrap it with a damp towel, put it in the crisper box and put it in the fresh-keeping layer of the refrigerator. Generally, it is no problem to keep it fresh for 7 to 10 days. When using, take enough to eat, rinse with water before feeding. When rinsing, it was found that there were still live blood worms swimming in the water, which proved that the preservation was successful. Once you find bloodworms stick to your hands, and they turn white or black in water, don’t use them.
4. Positioning
This is to establish the conditioned reflex of the fish. Feed the fish at the same position in the tank at the same time every day, and at the feeding time, as long as the light is turned on, the fish will gather at the feeding position. That scene is really heartwarming, and the self-confidence and satisfaction for loving fish is beyond words.
