As a senior aquarist commented, there are many novices who raise ornamental fish. We are getting more and more incomprehensible. They raise fish no matter what they are.
Cold and hot water fish can also be polycultured, and ornamental fish that adapt to different water quality can also be polycultured, and ornamental fish that adapt to different water temperatures can also be polycultured. In short, there are many varieties, only we can't think of, no new aquarist can't do it .
may have such a stage at the beginning of raising ornamental fish. If we raise some common species of ornamental fish, they will die if they die. Many aquarists don’t take it seriously, but what if we raise high-end fish ? At least we will suffer a certain loss in terms of money. Besides, dead fish is not a lucky thing after all. We should do it in advance to prevent it.
The reason why many high-end fish are difficult to raise is mainly due to psychological problems.
Let’s not talk about why some ornamental fish can be called high-end fish. Their prices have always been high, because many of them are hyped or scarce. Another reason why they are expensive, difficult to reproduce, and other factors that make them high-end is that these ornamental fish have serious psychological problems, which means that most of them are very sensitive fish.
We, for example, arowana, goby, colorful angelfish, etc., in the early stage of these ornamental fishes, we want to successfully raise them, not just a problem of water quality and water temperature, we need to pay attention to those who dare to raise these ornamental fish Aquarists will not be confused about water quality issues. Generally, the water body for feeding is very large, and the water temperature will of course be more suitable. The only problem that needs our attention is the psychological depression of an ornamental fish. This is our greatest Difficult to solve.
has written a lot of articles about how to eliminate the psychological depression of these ornamental fishes, and there is no need to repeat them here. However, if we want to polyculture some ornamental fish with many problems and poor physique with these high-end ornamental fish, it will appear. How can we solve the problem? Especially in the early stage when they enter the tank, they are still in a stage where they cannot be guaranteed. We will face a lot of troubles. Isn't this asking for trouble?
For example, dragon fish and swallow fish, colorful polyculture, or even dragon fish and goldfish?
Don’t think I’m joking. Today, an aquarist has been consulting about whether arowana and goldfish can be polycultured. This is absolutely impossible. Let’s not talk about whether arowana can attack goldfish. It is the various bacteria and diseases of goldfish that are very difficult for us to deal with. Moreover, regardless of how well our tropical fish are raised, the method of raising goldfish is completely different from that of tropical fish.
Once goldfish do not adapt to the high temperature environment in the fish tank, they will immediately rotten their gills, because in this season, goldfish cannot be raised at high temperatures in fish shops or fish farms. They suddenly come to such a high temperature environment. Basically they will get sick, and most of them will be in the gills. This is completely different from raising goldfish in the summer. What should we do if goldfish get sick?
medicine? Arowana may not be able to bear it, and the treatment of many diseases of goldfish mainly relies on salt, a large amount of table salt or sea salt is put into the tank, and the arowana may not be able to bear it, so it is not possible at all. This includes Koi. If
is a separate medicated bath, then come, catch the fish once can scare the arowana to death, and eventually the arowana will be abandoned.
Even if we polyculture the colorful angelfish and arowanas, the same is true, even including the swallow fish. They are fish with more troubles or very sensitive nerves. They are either black-faced or enteritis and ascites. They are in food. Shanghe Arowana can't even fight with Baganzi. If something goes wrong, we can't deal with it in time.
Because of these ornamental fish, we can’t keep one or two. Most of them are kept in groups. Even if they are sick, they may not be all sick together. There is a problem with this one today, and the other one will be infected tomorrow. , Come the day after tomorrow, this dragon fish is not well kept.
is the same. If we mix some common guppies or red swordfish, which are more problematic, with swallow and colorful, the result will be the same, and this will involve a cross infection. Problems, manyMedium and large aquarium fish may not be infected by diseases of small aquarium fish, but colorful fish and swallow fish will soon encounter cross-infection problems, and then the entire tank may become sick, which will be even more troublesome.
Either do not go to mixed breeding, or choose a more solid
. These polyculture methods mentioned above, are there any good breeding methods? Certainly there will be. For example, I once bred silver arowana and koi together, and swallow and golden arowana together.
However, most of these ornamental fishes have been raised by myself for a long, long period of time, and have been bred to the aquarium fish that are almost disease-free, instead of buying them directly from fish shops and throwing them directly into the arowana tank. , I don’t dare to do that. This is the reason. Z1z
assumes that we ourselves have the extraordinary ability to select fish. Seeing this tank of swallows and daring to protect it, there will be absolutely no problems, so we can keep them together with arowanas?
That is not necessarily, it depends on whether they can quickly adapt to our water quality and environment, and whether they can adapt to the depression brought by the arowana, otherwise, they will still get sick. These are very easy to understand truths.
Therefore, for the breeding of these high-end ornamental fish, it is best to raise them in single tank and single species. If fish is required, it is very simple. Under the principle of similar water quality, water temperature, food, body shape, and habits, the skin is firmer. The better the ornamental fish, this is our most basic principle of polyculture ornamental fish, we will also worry about raising them.
For another example, the more popular Thai lion goldfish and blue longevity goldfish are not cheap. Relatively speaking, the Thai lion is easier to raise than the blue longevity, and the blue longevity goldfish will have more problems. There are many, and cross-infection may occur between them. Although the psychological depression of goldfish is not serious, if we don’t want to make trouble, we should keep them as a single species. Z1z
is also the dragon fish and goby fish. Although we have seen many aquarists keep them very good, we don’t know how many fish died in exchange for it.
According to certain habitual thinking, they are also very lucky to be kept together, but how many can really polyculture dragons and gobys in place, and how many achieve their best conditions? Many aquarists simply cannot master the individual differences and nerve sensitivity periods when they were young.
For example, colorful angelfish and swallow fish, there are not too many aquarists who can keep them in place. The so-called look good, I have not seen it before, or the swallow fish are in good condition and none of them are sick. , And Qicai is either shrinking fins, refusing to eat, or black body, black gauze, or Qicai is in good condition. What are the reasons for the successive illnesses of Yanyu? The so-called polyculture of
is very good, that is, undead fish. I believe that many old aquarists can easily find problems when they see such polyculture videos of new aquarists, but they are not willing to talk about it again, because here Under this polyculture method, many problems cannot be dealt with at all. Once it is raised, it can indeed achieve a good appreciation effect, but it takes a lot of fish life to buy this effect.
I am an old fish farmer, so stay tuned for more ornamental fish issues, thank you!
