A, the reasons why the dragonfish lying in the tank
1, water quality fluctuations: a large number of water changes, a large number of replacement and cleaning filter media and other operations are likely to lead to substantial turbulence in the quality of the water, especially to the old tank after the water change, it is more likely to lead to greater fluctuations in water quality. A lot of chinook salmon are not adapted to the water quality when they enter the tank at the beginning.
2, the inside and outside of the tank environment appears to be a big change: the dragonfish is very sensitive to the change of its surrounding environment, which includes the change of the number of mixed fish in the tank, the change of equipment in the tank, the change of the water speed, the change of the intensity of the light, etc., these slight changes may lead to the dragonfish emotionally nervous, which will lead to sprawling phenomenon. In addition, changes in the environment outside the tank also cause the fish to be frightened and lie down in the tank, such as changes in the background.
3, the dragonfish is sick: the dragonfish is suffering from some diseases will also appear on the tank of the phenomenon, and this cause of the phenomenon of the dragonfish lying on the tank with the above two cases are different, owners can carefully check the dragonfish's body surface and appetite in determining whether the dragonfish is sick. If the dragonfish often lie down in the daytime, while the night is more normal, then this situation is mostly due to the dragonfish's mental problems.
4, the dragonfish nervousness: the dragonfish nervousness and environmental changes have a close connection, but there is a certain difference. In addition to some changes in the environment, the environment if the appearance of the dragonfish's natural enemies, is also will lead to the spirit of the dragonfish in a state of alert. In addition, the sudden appearance of abnormal sound and light signals around the breeding environment may also cause the dragonfish to be frightened and lie down in the tank.
Second, how to deal with the dragonfish lying in the tank
1, try to maintain the stability of the water quality, avoid a lot of water change, each time you can change a quarter of the water, and maintain a regular water change; for some of the aging of the filter media, to avoid a lot of cleaning. Should be cleaned or replaced in batches, so as not to cause damage to the nitrification system, resulting in large fluctuations in water quality.
2. Try to keep the feeding environment relatively stable. Once the dragonfish is in the tank, do not change the equipment and decorations in the tank, in addition, also pay attention to avoid changes in the environment near the tank, to avoid abnormal sounds around the aquarium and sudden light illumination. Stable environment is good for the lobster's emotional stability and good appetite.
3, if the dragonfish because of disease and the phenomenon of lying on the tank, the owner needs to treat the dragonfish, the dragonfish health recovery, the phenomenon of lying on the tank will disappear.
Dr. Paw Paw's analysis of the causes of dragonfish lying here, in general, to avoid the phenomenon of dragonfish lying in the tank, we must pay attention to keep their breeding environment stable.
