Who said that you can't raise goldfish in a small fish tank? Only if you can't raise them, but if you can't raise them, you can't raise them

A few days ago, an aquarist consulted me: "Can you raise goldfish in a 40 small tank?" I heard that a small tank is not good for raising goldfish?", I asked him: "Is the square tank 40 cm in length, width and height?", after getting an affirmative answer, I said to him: "The square tank is 40 cm in size, which is not small, there is no problem in raising goldfish, as long as you don't raise too much!"

Don't think that a small fish tank can only hold a few small fish.

We subconsciously seem to determine the size of the fish tank, but in fact, fish farming depends on the size of the water volume, and the size of the fish tank should be comprehensive. 40 cm may not seem like much, but 40 cm in length, width and height is not very small, and it cannot be taken for granted that it is a small fish tank (of course, it is not a large fish tank).

I don't know if you have noticed the price of fish tanks in the market?The price of a 40 cm square tank is higher than the price of a 50/30/30 cm fish tank. The reason for this is the width and height, which are the key to determining the depth of field of the fish tank. The advantages of the square tank in terms of vision and volume are also incomparable to the long tank, therefore, the 40 cm square tank can definitely raise goldfish, and it can be raised well, depending on how many you raise.

Can you keep goldfish in a small fish tank?

Next, I will use the size of the 40cm square tank to tell you whether the small fish tank can raise goldfish?

There is no doubt that it is definitely possible to raise goldfish in a 40cm square tank, and you can also raise it with an ordinary ceramic tank. In terms of size, the 40cm square tank does belong to a small fish tank, in order for us to raise goldfish, the water quality will not often change drastically, and in order to raise fish will not be too tired, I will first talk about the density of 40cm square tank goldfish.

40x40x40÷1000=64 liters of water, then a goldfish according to 5cm, you can raise 13 without pressure, according to my experience, I recommend that you fold in half, 6-7 is the most suitable. At this time, your fish breeding density is reasonable, and you are not tired of raising it.

How to raise goldfish in a small fish tank?

As for how to raise goldfish in a 40cm square tank? In fact, I said a lot of space in the previous article, and here I will briefly emphasize the key points!

*The most important thing to raise goldfish is three points: water quality, water temperature, and feeding.

(1) For goldfish farming, it is very important to maintain a constant water quality. To put it simply, it is to raise goldfish with old water and exchange water scientifically. It is not recommended to use tap water directly, it is best to dry the water, and you should also pay attention to gentleness when changing the water, pay attention to the temperature difference, and the temperature difference of the water can not be changed too much, otherwise the goldfish stress reaction is easy to get sick.

(2) For goldfish, water temperature is also very important. If there is no heating rod in the room, then you should pay attention to the impact of weather changes in ensuring the water temperature, and try to reduce the sudden change in water temperature caused by sudden temperature changes. Although goldfish are resistant to low temperatures, a reasonable water temperature is the guarantee of growth, and they can survive at low temperatures for a long time, but they are not good at raising. I recommend that the temperature is stable between 18-20 degrees Celsius is best.

(3) Then there is the feeding of goldfish, which is actually the easiest to ignore. As far as I know, many goldfish have been killed because of improper feeding. There are those who are full of food, and there are also those who eat leftover bad water that affects their health.

Let's take a look at an example: a tank of goldfish at home, you fed it before going to work in the morning, the elderly at home are okay and feed a little, at noon the family may feed a little, in the afternoon the children come back from school also feed a little, you come back from work and feed a little, or even a friend at home to hand the fish feed next to the fish tank and feed a little...... Well, I don't have much every time, so I just feed a little bit, but the water quality is seriously polluted, and I can't see the residue of fish feed, and the water is no longer good. At night, the dissolved oxygen content of the fish tank is the lowest, and the goldfish are both hypoxic and affected by poor water quality (ammonia nitrogen), and the illness is mild, and direct death is also possible!

Therefore, the best way to feed goldfish is to ration it on time every day, because goldfish eating itself is unreliable, and you can collect it all as you feed it, without a sense of satiety, and you don't know if you are about to die. There are really goldfish that eat to death, don't believe it! Just like in the picture below, they eat with their bellies upside down.

Summary:

Controlling the water quality, water temperature, and feeding of the fish tank are the basis for raising fish well, and the same is true for raising goldfish. Of course, this is also in conjunction with the other equipment you use to raise fish. Although it is a small fish tank to raise goldfish, the equipment that should be there should not be saved, such as filtration, even if it is a small waterfall filtration or a pneumatic water goblin. In the current climate, the temperature is low and the temperature difference is large in winter, so I recommend buying heating rods and aeration pumps.

In short, as my title says: only whether you can raise, there is no way! There is no problem with raising goldfish in a small fish tank of 40 cm, as long as you raise a reasonable density, you can raise it very well. Of course, to really raise goldfish out of the state, it is inseparable from your cultivation and diligence.
