1. Purchase a fish tank
First of all, when raising fish, give it a home. Adult arhats are very large. It is recommended to use a lower filter tank with a height of 66*width*55*length 100mm. That is to say, order one! Of course, bigger is better! The advantage is that the frequency of water changes is less and the filtration system is good. The condition of the fish is naturally much more stable! There are "medical stones", "coral stones", "ceramic rings", "filter cotton" and "activated carbon" in the bottom filter tank, which can absorb harmful organic chemicals in the water very well. , these filtering equipment can well cultivate beneficial bacteria such as nitrifying bacteria, effectively reducing the incidence of fish.
2. When purchasing Luohan fish
First consider buying fish at a price that suits your psychological needs, and then go hunting for fish at this price. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for, and every price is good. There is a big difference between them, so pay attention, look at more than one, and compare, and you won’t regret buying it! If you are a novice, I suggest you buy a cheaper one to play with, and accumulate some experience first. It is not recommended to buy an expensive one, and you will die in one go. It hurts. Those sub-adult fish with potential have already been selected and priced by JS, so it is very difficult to raise a fish that everyone praises without spending more $! JS is not more professional than your aquarist, besides. I don’t know whether the things they sell are good or bad. It seems that it will cost some money to raise a good one. If it has no potential, it is a waste of energy.
3. Raising Luohan Fish
After the fish you choose comes home, you should treat it as a member of the family and take good care of it. Don’t be full and hungry for several meals. Don’t be greedy for cheap fish feed. Fish without nutrients will grow well. I recommend using longevity fish heads. The quality is guaranteed. I personally think that one bottle can last a long time. It saves much money compared to dog or cat food! You can feed it some freshly peeled shrimps for a week, but you have to freeze them first to kill the parasites, and mix in some salt when feeding them. Everyone likes big heads. The bulging head of water is inseparable from the hormones in its body. Beating it with a sandbag smaller than its body is very effective in increasing its head. JS also does this. Of course, it is good to have two in a tank, but they must be about the same size, otherwise it will be difficult for the smaller one to be in good condition. If you don't have a sandbag, you can fight it by looking in the mirror. The lighting of the fish tank is also very important. It is better to turn on a relatively mild red light, which also has an inducing effect on the body color of the Luohan fish! Feed it food. If it eats for a while and then swallows it and vomits it, it means it is full, so you can save the money. Go out and don't pollute the water quality. The water temperature is 30-31. It will eat more and grow faster at this temperature! It will be more active and swim.
4. Prevent Luohan fish disease
Pay attention to the fish. People don’t want to move when they are sick, and the same goes for fish. If a fish that is usually lively suddenly stops swimming, something must be wrong. Oh! My experience is: 1. Observe the "poop" of the fish. If the color is different from usual, it means "enteritis"! 2. Observe the skin color and body to see if there are "white spots" or "holes in the head". Then treat the symptoms and prescribe medicine! The key to preventing illness is to eat fresh and clean food. Pay attention to the shelf life. Store unopened fish food in a safe place. Do not give moldy food to the fish. Pay attention to "parasites" in live food! 3. Pay attention to water quality and keep water in the water. "Sink oxygen" is something that is very important for beneficial bacteria such as nitrifying bacteria in living water! Water is the source of life for fish. You must always pay attention to water quality. Northern aquarists should also pay attention to "water temperature"! Sea salt is the health care of fish. It is necessary to change the water, even if you are sick! It is a must for aquarists.
