Summer can be said to be the best season or the worst season for tropical ornamental fish. The reason is that the relatively high temperature can stimulate the metabolism of fish, thereby improving immunity in this life. The disadvantage is that high temperatures will accelerate the deterioration of water quality, and improper operation will lead to large-scale fish diseases.

Yesterday, an aquarist asked a question. I believe it is also a concern of many novice aquarists. That is, can the temperature increase mentioned in the "three old things" treat fish diseases? Why is high temperature not good in summer? Let me talk about it here; relatively high temperature can indeed enhance the disease resistance of fish, but the effect is certain. The deterioration of water quality caused by high temperature fundamentally destroys the living environment of fish. We say that the rise in temperature among the "three old things" is carried out while ensuring good water quality, and is also accompanied by water changes. The continuous high temperature in summer will cause the water quality to deteriorate. If the fish are found to be sick, then your water may have been bad for a while. Therefore, we still need to be more vigilant about the high temperatures in summer.

In addition, summer is also a rainy season. Rainy weather will cause the air pressure to be relatively low, so the dissolved oxygen in the water will also be relatively low. Such rainy weather for three or four consecutive days will often cause fish to float due to lack of oxygen, especially those with fish. The finished fish tanks with lids should attract more attention, and some do not use oxygen pumps.

So, what should we pay attention to in summer? Let fish spend the summer safely

Water quality control ; when the temperature is high in summer, the metabolism of fish is also fast, and more waste is produced. Coupled with food residues, water quality can easily deteriorate in high temperature environments. High temperature will also accelerate the reproduction of some harmful bacteria. Many germs that lurk in spring may also break out in summer. What we have to do is to increase the frequency of water changes. According to the feeding situation, increase the amount of water changes appropriately. Generally, the frequency of water changes in summer is Changing the water more frequently than in other seasons will help us maintain water quality.

controls the amount of feeding; is best to control the feeding time in the morning, when the weather is relatively cooler. In summer, fish have a fast metabolism, so their food intake may also increase. At this time, it is best to control the feeding amount, otherwise food residues will destroy the water very quickly.

Change and wash the filter cotton frequently; The residual garbage on the filter cotton is the most and most likely to cause deterioration, especially on the dry and wet separation side of the upper filter box, which is prone to deterioration when the temperature is high.

Pay attention to parasites; Generally, water quality is fertile due to excessive metabolism, waste and food residues. Fertile water quality is very suitable for the growth of parasites, such as protein worms , snails, etc. Increase the amount of water changes. If the fish appears to be scratching Pay attention to bleeding in the tank and fish fins. The main reason is that there is a problem with the water quality.

Oxygen explosion; As we said above, it is really a pity that fish will die due to low dissolved oxygen.
