Recently, many aquarists have responded to their own koi or parrot fish, silver arowana into the tank afraid of the owner, not adapted to the environment and other issues, this problem is not big, said small is not small, in many cases is not necessarily the problem of ornamental fish, but also has a lot to do with the owner's operation.
So is it a disease for ornamental fish to be afraid of people, due to the physical discomfort of ornamental fish?
In most cases, even if the ornamental fish are sick, it is also due to the problem of not adapting to the water quality and the environment, if the ornamental fish are seriously ill, they will not show the behavior of hiding, such as severe ulceration, ascites, white spots and other diseases, such ornamental fish will not care about the existence of the owner.
Therefore, the fearful behavior of ornamental fish must be caused by mental illness, and most of the ornamental fish will have a feature, that is, they are shocked, because most of the ornamental fish are group of swimming creatures, once there is a wind and grass, a fish is afraid of the possibility that the whole tank of fish are shocked, and this phenomenon occurs from time to time in the above ornamental fish.
But we look at it in reverse, ornamental fish also have the behavior of grabbing food, which is also their innate habit, as long as one fish boldly comes out to grab food, other fish will rush to grab, this feature we must also use effectively.
At the beginning of the aquarium, the reason why we do not feed for three days is that in addition to being able to stabilize and familiarize itself with the environment and water quality, there is also an important reason to be able to domesticate successfully.
Most of the ornamental fish, as long as the nerve is not too sensitive in three days will be successfully eaten, and for the nerve is too sensitive fish, the closer to adulthood, the smaller their guts will be, the longer the time to tolerate hunger, so the hunger we are talking about here for three days is not so absolute, you can also pull a long time appropriately, but it is best not to exceed a week.
The more sensitive ornamental fish are, once successfully domesticated, their affinity with the owner will be higher, but the time required will be correspondingly longer, so in the early stage of domestication, if you want to watch the fish adapt to the owner, at least do not let them not see the owner's figure for a day or two, which is also a very important problem.
We can not alarm them, but it is not that they do not need our company, this thing we have to depend on the specific situation of the ornamental fish, if there is a violent shock, jumping tank phenomenon, we temporarily leave it, the fish and people are not dead, need to be flexible and flexible to master.
However, there must be a process of gradual familiarity between the ornamental fish and the owner, and the longer we accompany us, the faster they will naturally become familiar, which is certain.
This problem of fish farming is also repeatedly emphasized many times, here I am not against the fish tank landscaping, but for parrot fish, silver arowana, koi, etc., if our fish tank water body is not large, this scene or do not build as well, ornamental fish is because of the existence of these dodges, more reluctant to come out to see the owner at a glance.
The best way is to make them impossible to hide, which is called looking up and not looking down, even if you have to see them, they are naturally not afraid when they look long.
Besides, for the above ornamental fish, it is not suitable for fish tank landscaping, and it is very likely to hurt the surface of the ornamental fish.
Three days after the ornamental fish first entered the fish tank, eating less and eating more meals is not only the need of the ornamental fish stomach, but also beneficial and harmless for the conditioning of the water quality of the fish tank, so why don't we do it?
The reason why we don't do it is most likely to be that patient, some aquarists will put the problem down to no time, in fact, it is completely wrong, even if we don't feed ornamental fish all day, we also have time to go home from work at night, if there is no time to feed at night, then don't complain all day about our ornamental fish afraid of people.
Then we can completely put the amount of feeding in the evening, divided into three to four times or even five or six times to feed, after feeding, in the vicinity of close observation of the state of ornamental fish, there will always be one or two can not stand hunger to take the lead in grabbing food, other if not moved, fish food immediately fished out, ten minutes or half an hour to feed again.
Slowly we can let most of the ornamental fish feed in front of us, which is basically successful.
The initial domestication of raising ornamental fish is a trick of such a cycle, which not only increases our appearance rate in front of the ornamental fish, but also lets the ornamental fish who have not grabbed the food know that the owner does not eat it, these ornamental fish are actually very smart, we do not think that the ornamental fish are fools, the reason why they do not eat is that they have long developed the habit of fearing predators in the natural environment.
In fact, as long as we sprinkle fish food on the surface of the water, as long as it is naked tank feeding, no matter which corner of the fish tank ornamental fish, they all know that the thing is delicious, and have long noticed the existence of fish food.
I don't believe you can ask the fish farm, especially the ornamental fish raised in the small pond, two or three meters of fish pond, even if the water quality becomes spinach soup, we feed in the corner of the fish pond, soon the ornamental fish will be gathered around, they have long found the existence of fish food, but dare not eat the problem.
As for our way to raising ornamental fish, the ornamental fish were frightened and refused to eat, so we can continue to repeat yesterday's story from three days of stopping, how can it be so troublesome?
In fact, the reason why many aquarists are not successful in domesticating food is completely a problem of lack of patience, and there is nothing else, just like the old way of raising fish and two colorful competitions, and finally after 22 days, did not they also successfully domesticate food?
Today the second uncle was invited by me to the outdoor water tank, the little swallow fish into the small fish pond, for the future Egypt to break into the tank, I went to see the pair of adult colorful in the outdoor water tank, do not go to a large number of water changes and quarantine, can not survive this summer.
The so-called details that remain are nothing more than in the process of changing the water and feeding, do not overly frighten the ornamental fish, the lights in the fish tank should not be too strong, and at the beginning we tried to be able to feed better in natural light.
We must decide the amount of feeding according to the desire of ornamental fish to feed, that is, these simple routines can no longer be simple, through our patience to repeatedly use, how difficult can it be?
As for the food is not right, ornamental fish love to eat, that is every kind of ornamental fish thing, after all, carnivorous and omnivorous and vegetarian ornamental fish, their food is not the same, this we in the early stage of feeding, or prepare their favorite food as well, the last point, the water body of the fish tank can not be too large, too big to tame food will also be difficult, because the space is too wide, ornamental fish will have no sense of security.
I am a veteran of fish farming, more ornamental fish problems please pay attention, thank you!
