If you want to mix a few parrots, I suggest you mix them, which is not only beautiful, but also can be used as a sandbag for arowana to fight, and arowana can eat the remaining residue, and parrots can also be cleaned up well. But not too much, or the food grab will be too severe. Generally, dragons are mixed parrots. Try not to keep turtles, which will bite the dragon's tail when it's not looking. If you have to keep turtles, Brazilian turtles and crocodile turtles, you can choose pig-nosed turtles.
How's it going? There are many stickers on the first floor. I add some experience that I don't have online.
1。
The fish tank should also be large enough, preferably above 1.5m (if your fish tank is smaller than 1.2m, you will have a headache after one year). The silver dragon grows very fast, and it can grow to 50cm a year if it is well raised.
2。
In order to promote the metabolism of young dragons, we can raise the water temperature to 28-30 degrees, change the water by a quarter every week, feed them every 4-6 hours, and feed them for seven minutes at a time (to keep them hungry). Overfeeding will affect the next meal, and it is easy to get enteritis.
3。 After each feeding, whether feeding breadworms, small fish and shrimp or dry feed, try to remove the remaining bait. Especially those who sink to the bottom Arowana often chases the small fish in the tank or eats the residue at the bottom of the tank, which will lose its eyes and greatly affect its appearance. In addition, if the baby dragon is invigorating qi, it is best to seal the jar on three sides (if you often walk around with your children, cats and dogs, or the TV is next to the fish tank, you must seal the jar), and stick the fish tank on both sides with newspapers, leaving only the front, which can also prevent the eyes from falling. After a year of sealing, when the dragon comes of age, it can be deleted. Once the arowana loses its eyes, it needs to completely close the fish tank and keep it for several months. Sometimes it can be restored, but it is not absolute.
4。 When feeding live fish and shrimp, soak them in salt water before feeding them, then wash them with clear water before feeding them. Cut off the tail of the small fish before feeding, or pinch it dizzy to prevent the arowana from running around the tank and causing it to hit the tank. In addition, it can prevent arowana from falling out of the eyes. Arowana is very easy to be blind (because wild arowana feeds on animals on the water surface or in front of it, and won't eat fish and shrimp at the bottom of the river), so it's best to feed them one by one, and try to choose the feed floating on the water surface. It is best to feed loach less. First, there is mucus on the surface of loach, which is harmful to the stomach of arowana. Second, loach always sinks to the bottom.
5。 Feeding should be diversified and not too monotonous. I recommend an arowana recipe for you. Arowana doesn't like to eat dry feed. It needs to be trained before feeding dry feed, and it is best not to train bait for one year, which will affect its growth.
Because arowana is a carnivore, and because of its primitive habit, it loves to eat live bait, so we will be subject to various constraints when feeding arowana. What food should we feed, what food it needs, the preservation and feeding of bait, the answers are as follows:
First, we classify arowana according to its size. Usually we divide arowana into juvenile stage, intermediate stage and adult stage, and the length of juvenile fish is about 15*** minutes. 20-35cm in the middle fish stage; The adult stage is a fish with a score of more than 35***. The frequency and quantity of feeding in different periods are also different. Because of growth factors, young arowana should be fed in small quantities, and the feeding interval should not be too long. It is best to feed it every 4 hours. Chinese fish can feed some medium-sized bait, such as small fish, shrimp, small insects and so on. In the adult stage, a large number of baits can be cast. Do not overdo it at this time, so as not to affect reproduction. The following is a list of several baits suitable for arowana. Please choose to feed them. One thing to remind everyone here is the diversity of breeding varieties. Don't eat a kind of food for a long time, so as to avoid malnutrition of arowana and other diseases such as body deformation.
Red worm:
Red worms are the larvae of mosquitoes, mainly used for young fish. Before feeding, wash it with clear water, remove the impurities mixed in it, and gently squeeze out the water, so as not to break the red worm itself, and then float on the water to feed. You'd better put a net below. It is also important to note that whether feeding live or frozen red worms, try not to feed old red worms to avoid indigestion of arowana, or feed clean freeze-dried red worms to young fish.
Earthworms:
Earthworms are mainly from juvenile to middle stage of arowana. You can feed them worms to fish. If you want to collect it yourself, you must be careful of factors such as pesticide pollution and miscellaneous bacteria pollution. Whether you buy it back or collect it yourself, you should wash it thoroughly and feed it.
How to raise and preserve: It can be raised well in flowerpots and some pottery pots.
Breadform (Tenebrio molitor):
Breadform is also a kind of bait that people often feed arowana. Newly peeled breadworms can be fed to larvae whose egg yolks gradually fade and gather. Breadform is one of the most common live bait, which is usually sold in the fish market.
Frog:
This is mainly aimed at Chinese fish and adult fish. Smaller frogs can be used, but both of them may be contaminated by parasites and miscellaneous bacteria. Because the bait is easy to buy and clean, there is no need to feed this live bait specially.
Fried food:
The bait that we can often see and buy in the fish market can feed arowana at different periods according to the size of fry.
How to raise and preserve: After this fry is bought, it must be disinfected. At the same time, whether the quarantine is sick or not, the arowana can be fed directly after observation. Everyone feels very troublesome. In fact, one carelessness will make you regret it for the rest of your life. Can be stored in a large pot, it is best to put an oxygenator, so that the preservation time of fry can be greatly extended, pay attention to changing water.
Centipede:
Mainly for Jackie Chan. Some people in Southeast Asia say that the color of arowana fed with centipedes will become thicker and brighter. So centipedes are the most praised bait in some places.
How to raise and preserve: put it in a deep bucket and climb out carefully.
Cricket:
Mainly for China fish-adult fish. Arowana, which lives in natural waters, mainly eats insects on the surface. So we can also use crickets as bait. If it is used to feed young fish, it is best to remove all the hard shells first, but if it is adult fish, it can be fed directly.
Shell meat:
Arowana can be eaten from young fish to adult fish. Shellfish are eviscerated and only the fleshy parts are used. As for the treatment and preservation before feeding, it is exactly the same as fish.
Animal meat:
Arowana can be eaten from young fish to adult fish. Animal meat includes beef, pork and chicken. And, of course, animal offal. The first two kinds are red meat, which is high in fat and easy to pollute the water in fish tanks, so we can't use them. We can only use chicken, and we can only use tender chicken breast with less fat. Meat from other parts is not suitable. The pretreatment and preservation of chicken breast before feeding are the same as those of fish and shellfish, but for arowana, I'm afraid it won't be eaten immediately, and it will take some time to get used to it.
Cockroaches:
Cockroach is a kind of food that arowana likes to eat when it matures, and it is also the opening food for new fish after they enter the tank. It is best to be alive when feeding, and be careful of the contaminated dead cockroaches.
Fish:
This is the bait that arowana can feed in different periods. The key point is to choose fresh fish with less fat, cut it into the size suitable for the fish you want to feed, and wash the fish before feeding to avoid polluting the water quality. Stale fish will be oxidized and deteriorated by protein and fat, and long-term feeding will cause visceral diseases, so it is best not to use frozen fish. People can feed the fresh fish and internal organs together, which has high nutritional value and is one of the most suitable bait.
How to raise and preserve: You can cut fresh fish into required sizes, wrap them in fresh-keeping bags and freeze them. The freezing time should not be too long to avoid oxidative deterioration.
Shrimp:
This is a kind of bait that dragon breeders often feed arowana. Arowana can be eaten from young fish to adult fish. Freshness requirements are the same as those of fish and shellfish. You should treat it before feeding. Be sure to remove the shrimp sword and tail fan before feeding. Pay more attention to the handling of shrimp when feeding young dragons.
Antarctic shrimp:
It can be used to feed arowana from juvenile to adult fish, and the commercially available freeze-dried Antarctic shrimp can be bought.
How to raise and preserve: Antarctic shrimp is highly hygroscopic once it is opened. Because of the high content of protein, the oxidation is very fast. After opening, it must be placed in a sealed container and then frozen. Can't be refrigerated, it must be frozen. It is best to eat it in a short time.
Artificial feed:
Can be used for feeding arowana from juvenile to adult fish. As long as it is trained, it is believed that arowana will eat all kinds of bait, but it is the most suitable artificial feed for large tropical fish with balanced nutrition, and it is also the special artificial feed for arowana. As long as the artificial feed is well fed, there will be no problem of unbalanced nutrition in theory even if no other bait is fed.
How to raise and preserve: I think the choice of arowana feed brand is the first choice of German Siruiarowana feed and Aizu arowana feed.
