If your fish tank is a newly purchased tank, it must be treated with a new tank before raising fish.

At present, the fish tank is basically divided into glass and plexiglass. The so-called new fish tank refers to the fish tank that has not been raised in the factory and has been placed for a period of time after being built in the factory. Now the competition is fierce, and the quality of the fish tank is generally good. A new fish tank should first look at whether it has oil stains. It is best to wipe it off with a napkin first, then add water after wiping it, and then see if it leaks. If not, pump the water away. Put in the required equipment, refill the water, add 100 liters of water and 100 grams of salt, then start the filter pump and let the fish tank dry for a few days. Half a day before putting the fish into the tank, turn on the heating rod, let the water reach the desired temperature, and adjust the water to the ideal pH. In this way, you can put fish into the tank following the steps for putting new fish into the tank.

Cultivation of beneficial bacteria:

If conditions permit, culture of beneficial bacteria should be carried out before new fish enter the tank: installation of filtration equipment, lighting equipment and constant temperature equipment After completion, add water to the fish tank and drip an appropriate amount of nitrifying bacteria every day (see the product description for the amount) and run the tank empty for 3 consecutive days, which can cultivate the nitrifying bacteria in the tank to the balance of beneficial bacteria, inhibit the growth of harmful microorganisms in the tank, and prevent new fish from coming out of the tank. occurrence of disease.

New fish entering the tank:

1. Handling matters before entering the tank:

Ornamental fish live in water, and their body surface Easily contaminated with bacteria. There are various microorganisms attached to the surface of the general fish, some are harmless to the fish, but some are harmful to the fish. When the immune function of the fish is normal, it can resist the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms. When we buy fish and go home, the fish are overly frightened and stressed, and the immunity rapidly declines, and pathogenic microorganisms can easily invade the fish. body, leading to disease. This is a big reason why ornamental fish are very active when purchased at the aquarium store, but start to get sick when they get home.

Therefore, before the new fish are put into the tank, they must be soaked in the fish bag with a concentration of 3% salt for 15 minutes to kill some pathogenic microorganisms on the body surface, and then the fish can be put into the fish tank. If the fish tank has been cultivated with beneficial bacteria, it can play the role of double insurance and minimize the chance of fish diseases.

2. Processing steps for entering the tank:

It is best to put the fish in the tank and go through the following treatments, because the water in the bag is definitely different in quality and temperature from the water in the tank . If the fish in the bag is put into the fish tank immediately, it will easily affect the health of the fish, which will seriously lead to the death of the fish. It is very important for the fish to slowly adapt to the water quality and temperature in the tank.

1. Soak the bag with fish in water for at least 20 minutes to make the temperature in the bag adapt to the temperature in the tank.

2. Then add 20% water according to the proportion of the bag. When adding water, it is necessary to observe whether the fish have abnormal images. If the problem is not serious, the ratio of the fish tank water to the water in the bag can be increased to 1:1 within 20-30 minutes.

3. After this process, you can dump the water in the bag, and then put the fish into the fish tank, try not to pour the water in the original bag into the fish tank to reduce the pollution of the fish tank.

4. After the fish enters the fish tank, it is best to let it rest well, do not disturb it, try to turn off the lights at this time. This step sounds complicated, but in order to keep a mangrove fish, some things are unavoidable.
