Hello everyone! If you have any ornamental fish feeding problems, you can directly search for fish raising old ways and keywords on the entire network, such as fish raising old ways, water quality white and turbid, fish raising old ways, ornamental fish black spots, rot disease , etc.
Some fish lovers raise fish just for the sake of viewing and do not want their ornamental fish to grow too fast. So, what are the ways to control the growth of ornamental fish?
1. Moderate reduction of feeding is definitely the first move
First of all, the move will definitely have certain side effects, especially during the small fry period.
Of course, we also need to look at the stage where the fry is in. We cannot simply reduce the feeding amount by a large amount. can only be moderately reduced.
For example, feeding once every two days or reducing the number of feeding times per day. Originally, feeding three times a day can be reduced to once.
or during the small fry period, feed normally and in large quantities, and wait until the sub-generation period before feeding or feeding the next day.
Otherwise, you can feed more.
2. Reduce activity, feed low-protein food or vegetarian food
The second point is that can reduce the mobility of ornamental fish, does not allow them to exercise a lot, and the water flow in the fish tank can be moderately reduced, including the cooperation of the light.
Furthermore, should not feed live or high-protein foods. should try to feed vegetarian or low-protein fish feed as much as possible. This method can also reduce the growth rate of ornamental fish.
3. High-density, small water feeding
Even if it is high-density, small water feeding, our water quality must still be kept. Otherwise, various fish disease or dead fish may occur.
In addition, ornamental fish that are prone to internal consumption cannot be raised in high density or not fed for a long time, and it is prone to loss. It can only be said that after adulthood, the feeding amount is relatively reduced. This requires decisions based on your own observation and the reaction of the ornamental fish.
For example, when my water tiger fish grows up, I will feed them once the next day. Although there will be fights between them, the fight is not very serious, so it will not be a life-threatening one.
Regarding density issues, we cannot use formulas to explain them, so we can only give an example.
For example, my seven-star knife fish tank, if the normal feeding volume remains unchanged, I want them to grow quickly. The fish tank of
80 has three fish, the largest one is more than 25 cm. Then, if you want it to continue to ensure a perfect growth rate, this fish will definitely need to be turned over. In addition, there are two fish in the tank that are more than 15 cm, and you can also be raised in this fish tank for the time being.
Another fish tank is the anti-sky knife. The current body length is about 20 cm. The 80 fish tank can still be raised for one stage. After all, only one fish is raised in a fish tank. Once it reaches about 30 cm, it also needs to be poured into the fish tank at least one meter two meters before it can still ensure extremely fast growth.
If you want to raise slowly, then the three seven-star knife are all above 25 cm. It is not too late to pour the tank. You can continue to use a one-meter fish tank for feeding. They will not feel too wronged and their growth rate will not be too fast. I can only say that this is roughly what it means.
If you want to slow down the growth rate, it means that the density is high and the space is small. Even if you replace the fish tank, don’t be too big.
If you want to increase the growth rate of ornamental fish, you must leave enough space for growth and activity.
For example, now, immediately throw the 25-centimeter seven-star knife into a 1.5-meter fish tank. In less than a month or two, as long as there is enough food, it may grow to more than 40 cm, even if it grows to eighty or ninety centimeters.
Finally, if you want to see the ornamental fish grow slowly, you can also adjust the water temperature slightly to maintain it in a relatively low temperature environment. For example, if the above-mentioned tropical fish have a feeding water temperature of around 20 degrees, their growth rate will slow down significantly.
This is very obvious when looking at the lucky cat and duckbills. When the appetite is 20 degrees or below, the appetite gradually decreases. Once the water temperature reaches 25 degrees or above, the appetite will increase significantly.
Another last point, doesn’t want your ornamental fish to grow too fast, and you can also add other fish to interfere. makes some ornamental fish suppressed, which depends on your own experience.
Therefore, the growth rate of ornamental fish has a lot to do with density, feeding, water quality, water temperature, food feeding, space size, and light.
