How to maintain your pet fish aquarium
How to maintain your pet fish aquarium?Many friends ask me why their aquariums are flooded with algae, cloudy water, and even cause their fish to lose their vitality.
In fact, daily maintenance work is the key to keep the ecological balance of the aquarium. By doing regular water changes, cleaning up bait and algae residues, and observing the health of the fish, we can ensure that the water quality of the aquarium is clear and the ecology is stable, thus providing a good living environment for the fish. I would like to share my tips with you today:
Avoid direct sunlight for a long time
The aquarium should avoid direct sunlight for a long time, and put it in a ventilated and non-humid place. Lighting is the source of all life in the aquarium, not only relates to the whole ecological balance, but also relates to the natural original color and whether the aquarium can survive, prolonged darkness will make the aquatic plants can’t photosynthesize and wither. Every day to provide aquatic life about eight to ten hours of light, but the light can not be too strong or too weak. These are the most basic knowledge of maintaining an aquarium, and the lighting can be adjusted according to the habits of your pet fish.
Replenish the water in time
Check the height of the water level, replenish the evaporated water in time to maintain the original water level; check whether the configuration equipment is functioning properly; check the water temperature to maintain the appropriate temperature required by the fish; check the health of the fish, mainly to see if there is any symptom of disease in the fish. In addition, every 1 to 2 weeks, the main maintenance work is: change the water once, only 20% to 25% of the water; clean up the waste collected from the nitrogenizer, replace the filter ecological cotton; after the water change, add seawater elements in a timely manner. These maintenance tasks are extremely detailed, but if you do them well, there should not be any major problems.
Maintain a balanced nutrition
In terms of feeding feed, have to do regular, regular feeding. It is best to feed twice a day, and to make sure that every fish can get food, you can add some biological coloring in the feeding process, so that the fish can be attracted to the surface of the water to take food. (Note: Don’t use the same kind of bait for a long time, otherwise it will cause nutritional imbalance of aquatic organisms, which will affect the health of the fish.)
Trimming of water plants
Cut off yellowing and rotting water plants leaves, and overgrown water plants should be trimmed appropriately in order to maintain the beauty of the water plants without affecting the swimming of the fish.
Fish Care
Observe the state of the fish and fish out sick fish in time. Feed in moderation to ensure that the fish can finish eating within a few minutes to avoid water pollution caused by feed residue.
Oxygen Supply
Make sure the water in your tank contains enough oxygen to meet the respiratory needs of your fish. Use devices such as oxygen pumps or air stones to increase the oxygen level in the water.
Aquatic plants and aquascaping
Plant appropriate aquatic plants or place aquascaping stones and submerged wood in the fish tank to provide a natural habitat for the fish. These elements help to increase the ornamental value and also help to maintain the ecological balance.
These are the daily maintenance tips about aquariums that I have mastered, in fact, it only takes a few minutes a day, and only one or two hours every one to two weeks to maintain the aquarium, and then you can take good care of the health of your fish. If you own your own aquarium, then take action now for the health of your fish.
