petnet has learned that new fish generally show signs of lack of energy, timidity, less activity, and reluctance to eat after entering the tank. Therefore, new fish enter the tank. For 1-2 days in the tank, you can not feed it, please rest assured that it is not hungry. It depends on the fish's condition. If the fish's mental outlook is normal, squeeze a little fish food and put it into the tank to try it. If the fish tries, start it immediately. Chasing food, or showing a happy foraging phenomenon, that's great, please keep feeding it and it will become a good citizen in the aquarium. If the fish doesn't eat it or tastes it and spit it out and doesn't seem excited, it means that the fish may not have adapted well, or you may not choose the type of fish food properly.
Creating a good and suitable environment for new fish is worth doing. For example, after putting fish in the new tank for the first time, the lights can be turned off, and people should not be too close to the aquarium, and there should be no large Vibration action and sound. When some fish first enter the tank, they appear to be lying on their side or stuck in the crevices of rocks, which is about to die. Don't panic. Most of this is an illusion. Don't use it when the fish is still alive. Touch it with your hand or use a net to fish it, don't worry about it, just pick a good one when you buy it and put it in the tank, it won't die immediately the next morning, you will find out, haha! It turns out that it is swimming around, scaring you for nothing. In the process of fish entering the tank, the damage to the fish is mainly the impact of the new environment and different water quality on the fish, and the shock and alarm during the fishing and transportation process. Therefore, it is necessary to minimize the mistakes in the whole process and reduce the damage to the fish. lowest point.
