Goldfish are loved by many people as a representative of ornamental fish. However, raising goldfish is not an easy task, and you need to pay attention to the details of the breeding environment, water quality, feeding, etc. Now, let's take a look at the following seven things to do well to make goldfish live longer and healthier!!
1. Shop for healthy goldfish
First of all, it is very important to buy a healthy goldfish. When choosing, attention should be paid to whether the fish is intact and brightly colored, and at the same time, avoid choosing goldfish with obvious disease symptoms. It is best to choose a professional pet store or fish tank store when buying, they usually provide better quality and after-sales service.
2. Provide a suitable breeding environment
Goldfish need a tank that fits their lives. The size of the tank is determined according to the species and number of goldfish, and it is generally recommended to provide at least 10 liters of water volume per goldfish. Also, make sure the fish tank is placed in a well-lit place away from direct sunlight, maintain a stable temperature and humidity, and clean the fish tank regularly to maintain good water quality.
3. Maintain good water quality
Water quality is the key to the health of goldfish. Regularly test the pH value, ammonia, nitrite and other indicators in the water to maintain the stability and cleanliness of the water quality. Using the right amount of filtration equipment and pumps can help keep the water quality in good condition.
4. Provide a balanced diet
Goldfish need to provide a balanced diet to grow healthily. Choose fish food for goldfish that suits their taste and nutritional needs, and be careful not to overfeed them to avoid water pollution. In addition, it is essential to provide goldfish with the right amount of fresh fruits and vegetables on a regular basis.
5. Avoid overfarming
Overfarming is one of the common causes of goldfish disease and death. In order to avoid over-farming, we can regularly check whether the number of goldfish is suitable and adjust it in time. Keeping the number of goldfish in the tank moderate can help reduce competition and stress and improve the health level of the goldfish.
6. Observe and inspect regularly
Regular observation of the behavior and appearance of goldfish is an important part of healthy fish farming. When goldfish exhibit abnormal behavior, loss of appetite or pale body color, it is necessary to take timely measures and seek professional advice. It is also necessary to regularly check the water quality, the working condition of the fish tank equipment, to ensure that the goldfish live in a good environment.
7. Give love and companionship
Finally, remember to provide enough love and companionship for the goldfish. Aquarium fish also need our attention and care. Interacting with goldfish and observing their lives can enhance the relationship between each other, and at the same time, you can also detect the problems of goldfish in time.
Don't forget, raising goldfish is not only a hobby, but also a responsibility. Only when we give enough attention and love to goldfish, can they grow healthily and accompany us for a longer time.
Choosing healthy goldfish, providing a suitable breeding environment, maintaining good water quality, providing a balanced diet, avoiding overbreeding, regular observation and inspection, and giving love and companionship are all keys to a healthy and long life.
