Finding Nemo is believed to have been seen by many friends, and the portrayal of Nemo the clown fish in it is vivid and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. After watching the movie, I had the urge to get a seawater tank to play with. The clownfish gives the impression that the colors are bright and distinct, and the sea anemone is its home. It will be very interesting to watch the behavior of the clownfish patiently. The reason why it is called the clown fish is because it has one or two white stripes on its head, just like the appearance of the harlequin in the national quintessence Peking Opera, hence the name. Clownfish belong to the subfamily Anemone, also known as anemone fish, in the order Perciformes damselfish.

There are many novice players of marine fish who ask how to buy clownfish, how to put them into the tank when they are bought, including issues such as overwatering and quarantine, and what needs to be paid attention to when feeding them. Today, I will summarize these problems, focusing on the quarantine process. These empirical methods are also applicable to other marine fish, and I hope to be helpful to everyone.

1. The link of buying fish

The time to buy fish is very critical, and it is mainly based on viewing. Look at the clown's state, body color, body surface, reaction speed, etc.:

1. Body color: healthy fish have normal body color, ordinary sons are divided into red and orange red, and red, gold and red are divided into bright red. and black and red. The black part of Hei Gongzi is black, and the white part of the variant is mainly observed in the white part of the body surface. The color is very white like white paint. These are the normal body colors. For beginners, many clowns may not know what breed is, let alone what their body color should look like. It doesn't matter, then carefully observe whether there are sundries on the body of the clown, and the healthy fish will not have dirt, such as dust, etc., which can be observed in 2-3 minutes. OK, the body surface is smooth, you can enter the next link.

2. Status: When the clownfish is healthy, it will swim continuously in an unfamiliar environment (in the fish tank of the merchant), will not stay in the same place for a long time, and will attack or get close to other fish for a short time. The fins are stretched, but the fins are not closed. It is very not recommended for novice friends to start with clowns with closed fins.

3. Test: Test the clown's response to external stimuli. When the fish you are looking at swims towards you, suddenly raise your hand to see if the fish will respond. The fish that respond slowly or do not respond at all indicate If the body is unwell, the clown in normal state will respond quickly.

4. Opening: In order to prove that the new fish has opened its mouth, some businesses will feed it with feed. I think this is not good. The fish will be taken away after eating the food. Normally, the clown eats half of the food. It is excreted in about an hour, and the waste excreted at room temperature begins to release toxic substances in about an hour. If the journey is long or the fish is temporarily bought, it will cause great harm to the fish. Therefore, it is not recommended to open feeding when buying fish. A fish that actually speaks only needs to do a feeding feint and the fish will respond. Here's a reminder, even if the old fish that are raised are transported in bags for more than 3 hours, the fish must be stopped from eating the first night. It is recommended that friends and buyers who come out of the fish do not feed the fish on the day they come to pick up the fish, so as to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings caused by the delay of time by the buyers.

The above are some of the common judgment methods I use when buying fish. Everyone must observe more when buying fish. The red part is white, the white part is red, the black part is white and there is a layer on the body surface. Hoarfrost's clown easily do not start. Clownfish that meet the standards I mentioned above are not common in the Beijing market. You can choose according to your own experience. However, fish with abnormal body color must be cautious. Most of those fish will destroy the group, and they will take away the old fish when they die. OK, now we go home with the newly bought fish.

2. Water passing

Everyone knows how to pass water. Rinse with a bag and put it in a quarantine tank to overheat, 20 minutes in summer and 40 minutes in winter . During the period, you can open the package and fix it on the side of the quarantine tank with a clip. When passing the water, the specific gravity of the quarantine tank should be slightly lower than that of the original water by about 0.002. After the water is too warm, you can fish. Clownfish are relatively firm, so I usually add water two or three times and put them directly into the quarantine tank.
