From the moment they leave the farm, it can be said that the ornamental fish embark on a path of life and death. After experiencing drastic changes in water quality (osmotic pressure, etc.), it is also necessary to endure various mental abuses brought about by transportation and physical exertion caused by the inability to eat for a long time. It was hard to get to the front of the store, and it was also fished out by people countless times with copying, and the pain suffered during this period was difficult for us to see with the naked eye. After experiencing all the cruel journeys mentioned above, it is really not easy to appear alive in front of us.
From a human point of view, it is like being seriously injured and being carried into a hospital (reaching the front of the store), undergoing emergency treatment (receiving a salt bath, medicinal bath, etc.) and then being transferred to a centralized treatment room (observation stage). It wasn't long before he was forcibly discharged from the hospital (bought home by a guest), and it was a miracle that he didn't die after a series of encounters.
In addition to some ornamental fish purchased directly from the breeder without going through the existing circulation process, even the better ornamental fish should go through at least a week or so of observation period. Why? A single copy used in a white spot disease fish tank can infect the entire tank of fish, and it will take several days until the disease develops to a white spot that can be confirmed with the naked eye. In addition, if you want to ensure overall health, it is best to extend the observation period to three to four weeks. The fish who come to the store with a full body of injuries are unlikely to survive 100 percent, and some of them will certainly die during the observation period, deducting these costs, so the selling prices of the shops are relatively higher. You aquarists must not be cheap when choosing fish.
Be aware when purchasing ornamental fish
Cheap peacock fish often hear the saying that peacock fish that have survived the invasion of various viruses have obtained corresponding antibodies for their offspring from previous germs, so recently peacock fish are getting healthier. This statement can be said to be a bold guess by laymen. Most of the viruses that spread between ornamental fish are highly contagious, like human AIDS, and do not stop getting sick because of antibodies. So those cheap peacock fish that are placed in a harsh environment to sell, no matter how the store advocates, still hope that everyone will know it.
Lali hair-footed perch is now on the market a lot of lali hair-footed bass rely on hormones to force its color, purchase need to pay attention to observation and judgment.

Electric mermaid electric mermaid electric light mermaid is very susceptible to acid-resistant bacilli, and electric light mermaids farmed in Southeast Asia and other places are prone to pine bulb disease. Most died less than a year after they got started.
How about the African Blue Eye Lamp? Most of the existing circulation stages are not very healthy. Unless it is bred in the store, it is estimated that it is difficult to keep it.
Maybe this statement is a bit pessimistic, but it is very objective. Nowadays, it is difficult to find 100% healthy ornamental fish on the market, more or less sick. They have come to us through thousands of tribulations, please be kind to them.
