Tropical fish are colorful and dazzling, mostly from tropical or subtropical regions such as South America, Africa and Southeast Asia, and belong to a group of ornamental fish. People who want to raise tropical fish need to be very particular about water quality and water temperature, and temperature adjustment equipment is necessary when raising them. So how do you keep tropical fish well? Follow the pet editor to have a look!

1. The importance of raising tropical fish water

1. Water quality

The so-called Water quality mainly refers to the hardness and pH of water, and tropical fish have relatively high requirements for water quality. Neutral water is used for raising tropical fish. The hardness of the water depends on the content of calcium, magnesium, iron and salt in the water. It can be divided into hard water: well water, spring water, neutral water: tap water, river water, soft water: rainwater.

2. Change the water

Fish need to continuously metabolize and excrete feces during their survival. The bait for feeding fish is also constantly oxidized and rotted, which will affect the water quality, so It is necessary to change the water in the fish tank frequently and timely to keep the water fresh.

2. What to know about the temperature of raising tropical fish

1. The importance of temperature

Temperature is the most important condition for raising tropical fish. Tropical fish are extremely sensitive to the temperature of water. Therefore, the water temperature requirements are strict. If the water temperature changes by ±2°C, it will cause a cold. The water temperature fluctuates up and down for a long time, and the fish will suffer from various diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to keep the water temperature constant.

2. Pay attention to temperature

The water temperature should not be too high. The bacteria in the water will multiply too fast and affect the water quality. The normal water temperature for most living is 20~24°C, and the breeding water temperature is 25~28°C, but different species of tropical fish have different water temperature requirements.

3. What to know about changing the water for raising tropical fish

1. Partial water change

Each water change should not exceed 1/4 of the total water volume, how much water should be pumped Just add as much water as possible, and pay attention to the water temperature, which is as consistent as possible with the original fish tank water temperature. The number of water changes depends on the turbidity of the water in the fish tank. If the water with good filtration conditions is of clear water quality, the number of times can be appropriately reduced, and if the filtration conditions are poor, the number of times can be appropriately increased. The beauty in autumn and winter is one or two times, and the beauty in spring and summer is two or three times.

2. Change all the water

Before changing the water, fill the spare fish tank with new water, and then fish the tropical fish into the spare fish tank. This method has little water temperature change, and tropical fish are easy to adapt to the new environment.

4. Tropical fish water temperature control

1. Natural method

Put the fish tank in a room facing the sun, and let the fish tank receive sunlight to increase the water temperature. Some water temperature changes in the volume of the fish tank are relatively small. On the contrary, if the water in the fish tank is small, the temperature change will be large. If the room conditions allow, it is better to make the fish tank as large as possible.

2. Manual method

There are more and more electric heating temperature adjustment equipment on the market, which is also a better heating method. Most products have automatic temperature control function, which should be Such products are preferred.
