Hello fellow aquarists! If you have any questions about raising ornamental fish , you can directly search for fish farming experts and keywords on the entire Internet, so that we can easily raise water and happily raise fish.
In yesterday's video, we talked about the feeding of ornamental fish in summer. If you can feed it less, you should never feed it more.
This not only involves enteritis-like diseases in ornamental fish, but also causes more serious water quality problems.
Also, many aquarists feed fish almost exclusively through mechanical movements and habitual operations, which is very incorrect.
Be sure to pay attention to the importance of observation before feeding, especially ornamental fish that have been raised.
is just an action and observation of reaching out to test. Is it difficult to judge?
Why do ornamental fish need to be interactive with us?
is just for one bite. Over time, certain conditioned reflexes will naturally form.
So, before we feed the fish, the most important thing is to observe in advance whether the ornamental fish has appetite.
If it doesn’t want to eat, what else should we feed?
Ornamental fish are not stupid. Most of them know that they will not eat again when they are full. At least in the short term, such as within three to five minutes, it is impossible to ask for food again frequently.
Another point is that we should be aware of ourselves and should not feed them repeatedly in unlimited amounts and times, especially when the water temperature is higher than 32 degrees or above.
Before feeding the fish, if we raise our hands or approach the fish tank, the ornamental fish will actively gather around us. It happens to be meal time again, so we can go and feed them.
In general, you can eat it within three to five minutes. There is no specific amount to talk about. The main thing is to observe the increase or decrease in the feeding desire of the ornamental fish during this period.
If you have almost eaten, your appetite must be decreasing.
Sick fish may not eat themselves.
For ornamental fish that are uncomfortable and in extremely poor condition, most of them will not take the initiative to ask for food, and may directly refuse to eat. They will be indifferent to whatever you feed them, and they will not even look at them. Take another look.
In addition, if the temperature is too high or too low, it will cause indigestion or excessive food intake for ornamental fish, making it difficult to digest food. In this case, ornamental fish will also choose not to eat.
They are not stupid either if they eat too much at one time, suffer from acute dysentery, etc. Most of them choose to refuse to eat directly.
For many ornamental fish diseases of this type, if it is not too serious, if you stop eating moderately for a few days, the ornamental fish can regain its strength by itself, and it will open its mouth again.
So, we need to understand this. Since it doesn’t want to eat, don’t force food on it. In the end, may not only aggravate the disease, but also extremely damage the water quality.
Of course, there is a special situation, that is, the body of the ornamental fish is too thin, but the appetite has always been good, but it is getting thinner and thinner. This situation is a special case. It may be that there are worms in the stomach. Such fish should not be over-fed. We You have to know yourself.
We have always emphasized:
fish farming, must be based on observation and the appetite and status of ornamental fish, and other supplements.
treats diseases, mainly focuses on the self-healing ability and conditioning of ornamental fish, supplemented by treatment and medication.
are usually raised, is mainly based on low density and stable water quality, supplemented by filtration, nitrification system .
Many novice aquarists just don’t understand this truth.
When feeding ornamental fish, if you feed them blindly without looking at their status and reactions, it is better not to feed them. The ornamental fish may die more slowly.
I am an experienced fish farmer, please stay tuned for more ornamental fish issues, thank you!
