Animal husbandry standards for dragonfish
1. Requirements for water temperature. Generally speaking, keeping dragonfish should pay attention to maintaining the water temperature at 24~26℃. However, if you are breeding silver dragons and black dragons, the water temperature needs to be raised to 28~30℃, these dragonfish species prefer a hotter breeding environment. In addition, in the process of breeding dragonfish, it is necessary to pay attention to maintaining a constant temperature to avoid too large a temperature difference. Suddenly raising and lowering the water temperature is not favorable to the dragonfish, which may lead to neurological shock and death of the dragonfish. Therefore, strict control of the water temperature is very important for the dragonfish breeding, usually in the water to the aquarium to change the water should pay attention to the control of the new water and long water temperature difference of no more than 2 ℃.
2, the requirements of oxygen. The extension of the water is the product of photosynthesis of aquatic plants, part of the oxygen can also be dissolved from the air to make the water have oxygen. But the fish feces and other substances will decompose, and then constantly consume the dissolved oxygen in the water, so in the breeding of the dragonfish should pay attention to timely clean up all kinds of dirt in the tank, in order to keep the dragonfish have enough oxygen to maintain survival. It is best to install oxygenation equipment in the breeding container, and can also breed some aquatic plants in the water, so that the environment can be beautiful, but also can play a role in oxygenation.
3, the requirements of water quality. Dragonfish on the water quality requirements more inclined to weakly acidic soft water, generally river water and river water are weakly acidic, suitable for breeding dragonfish. However, the tap water used by people contains a certain amount of chlorine and fluorine, which are very harmful to the dragonfish. So if you use tap water chlorine and fluorine is gone before you can add the fish tank.
4, the light requirements. Most of the rearing of dragonfish are kept indoors, but it must be noted that they can not be kept in the shade, because the dragonfish need a certain amount of light in the process of growth, the pet owner is best to keep the sunshine in the day to irradiate the fish tank for 3~4 hours. If the dragonfish lives in low light for a long time, it will become dull in action, loss of appetite and dull in color. Colleagues should also be careful not to expose it to too much light, otherwise it will cause the dragonfish to swim abnormally, or even cause dragonfish bubble disease and so on.
Dr. Paw Paw's warm reminder: the dragonfish is beautiful and delicate, I hope we all want to raise their own dragonfish health, live a long time. For this reason, the breeding of dragonfish must bear in mind the above requirements for feeding, careful care of dragonfish.
