In order to avoid this unpleasant phenomenon, the window curtains should be pulled up when the weather is clear, or the sunlight hitting the aquarium should be blocked with green transparent paper. Generally speaking, there are not many of these types of algae in clean and fish-less aquariums.
2. The water temperature for tropical fish is generally 20~30℃. But different species of tropical fish also have different water temperature requirements. Such as guppy, red swordfish, black mary and other fish species can endure the water temperature of about 10 ℃ without dying, while swallow fish, tiger skin fish and other fish will die when the water temperature is lower than 18 ℃. Most tropical fish are sensitive to water temperature. If the water temperature changes ±2°C, they will catch a cold. If the water temperature fluctuates up and down for a long time, the fish will suffer from various diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to keep the water temperature as constant as possible.
3. The lighting equipment for tropical fish is mainly fluorescent lamps, in addition to halogen lamps, mercury lamps and so on. The lighting of a single aquarium, sometimes an underwater colored light can also be used, it is a glass fully enclosed small lamp, which can be directly placed underwater and adsorbed on the glass tank wall. The lamp can emit different colors. Such as red, blue, green, white lights, the landscaping effect is better.
4. The bait for tropical fish includes fish worms, water earthworms, fiber worms, Tenebrio molitor, small live fish, pellet feed, etc. There are many species of tropical fish and different sizes, so the choice of bait for different species of tropical fish is also different. Most tropical fish feed on animal feeds, and small species can also be domesticated to feed on pellets, while few fish feed on plant feeds.
5. The feeding amount of tropical fish should be determined according to the size and quantity of the fish. For family raising tropical fish, it is generally only necessary to feed 1-2 times a day, and the feeding amount should be eaten within 5-10 minutes. When raising tropical fish in large quantities, it is necessary to feed 2-3 times a day; for species of fish in the breeding period, bait is generally fed 3 to 4 times a day.
6. Changing the water is the most simple and effective way to change the water quality, but the workload of changing the water is large, especially when the aquarium is small and has scenery, the process is complicated and tedious. Before changing the water, cut off the power of all the electrical appliances in the aquarium, take out all the fish and scenery, and drain the water. After rinsing the aquarium, put all the scenery in place and put in fresh water for later use.
