【Foreword】Goldfish is an ornamental fish that originated from China and went to the world. Goldfish are recognized globally as one of the top ten ornamental fish. Dragon's Eye Goldfish is a traditional goldfish species in China, which belongs to the short and thick body, with four open tail fins and a flat and wide head.
Dragon's Eye Goldfish is named "Dragon's Eye" because its two eyeballs protrude from the outside of the orbit. We Chinese regard the dragon's eye as the right species of goldfish, especially the ink dragon's eye, which is regarded as the embodiment of the dragon.
Among the many species of goldfish, the dragon's eye goldfish has always been a popular breeder. Because they are plump and cute, petite in stature, very good-looking, very suitable for family fish tank viewing and breeding. But for novice fish farmers, these little lives are too fragile. Maybe you don't even know why, so you hung up easily!
Let's take a look at how to raise dragon eye goldfish, I hope my experience can help you who like goldfish!
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > know oneself and know each other well in order to raise goldfish and understand the habits of dragon eye goldfish. </h1>
The two eyes of the dragon's eye goldfish are prominent, looking cute, and it is also known as the Chinese goldfish. It has a wide variety of black (ink) dragon eyes, white dragon eyes, golden dragon eyes, purple dragon eyes and so on. Their habits are also very similar. For example, water temperature conditions and so on.
Goldfish are highly adaptable, especially in terms of water temperature. They can survive in the water temperature range of 0 to 38 ° C. When the water temperature reaches 6 °C, the goldfish can start feeding. When the water temperature is -3 ~ O ° C, the dragon's eye goldfish will enter a dormant state, if the water temperature exceeds 28 ° C, the feeding of the goldfish will slow down, and the appetite will be lost. When the water temperature is 18 to 22 °C, the dragon's eye goldfish is most suitable for healthy growth. This water temperature improves their immunity and increases their activity.
However, the dragon's eye goldfish can not accept the sudden change in water temperature, especially in the south without heating, in the winter must pay attention to this problem, it is possible that the goldfish will suddenly turn over. Observe them when the seasons change or when the weather temperature is uncertain. If it is found that the dragon's eye begins to convulse indirectly, or the spirit is overexcited, it is necessary to have a vigilant consciousness to prevent the dragon's eye goldfish from getting sick, and at this time, it is necessary to pay attention to adjusting the water temperature and stabilizing.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > goldfish are exhausted and die, and dragon's eye goldfish are afraid of lack of oxygen. </h1>
Goldfish are actually the same as other pets, except that goldfish cannot communicate with people for a long time, so that they are sick or injured and difficult to be found. Therefore, we should observe and record more goldfish to ensure their safety. The breathing of goldfish requires oxygen, so if the fish tank at home is small, it is not recommended to cultivate too many goldfish, and it is likely to die due to lack of oxygen.
Dissolved oxygen can directly affect the breathing of goldfish, but also indirectly affect their appetite and ability to digest food, and dragon's eye goldfish is no exception. If in water with good water quality and high dissolved oxygen. The state of the dragon's eye is: strong appetite, normal excretion, rapid growth and development, and even visible growth to the naked eye. On the contrary, it is in a state of sluggishness.
< h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > early detection and early treatment, and the disease of dragon eye goldfish can be observed. </h1>
In fact, fish diseases are not terrible, I am afraid that we will not find out in time. Usually, you can judge whether the dragon's eye goldfish are sick by observing their eating conditions and skin conditions. Healthy Dragon's Eye Goldfish scales are neat and shiny, fast-moving, and very lively and active. Conversely, if the water is turbid and the amount of dissolved oxygen does not meet the demand, the goldfish can only surface and swallow the air. Here's a reminder, don't think that the dragon's eye goldfish floating head is no big deal, maybe your dragon's eye goldfish is about to die!
The "swallowing" oxygen of the goldfish floating head often cannot meet its dissolved oxygen requirements, but the greater the physical consumption, the higher the demand for oxygen, so the vicious circle will lead to the lack of oxygen casualties of the goldfish.
Of course, if you find it in time, there is still a chance to remedy it. Floating goldfish often have difficulty eating, loss of appetite, dull scales, slow movements, often stop in the water, can only increase the burst of oxygen to slowly recover the state. Special attention should be paid to the lack of oxygen in the change of seasons, such as the current spring to summer, the weather suddenly becomes hot, we must pay attention to the problem of lack of oxygen in the water, timely discovery, timely solution.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > fish to eat, dragon eye goldfish feeding can not be sloppy. </h1>
Feeding is always a problem that is easy for novice goldfish farmers to ignore, let's talk about the feeding of goldfish. Raise goldfish, if you have children at home, be sure to keep an eye on the children, can not reach out to catch goldfish! You can't keep feeding! Goldfish can eat some small and trivial things such as cereals, steamed bun residues, sesame seeds, etc., but these things are too starchy and cannot be fed for a long time, which will affect the digestion of goldfish.
If you have the conditions, then live fish food is definitely a good fish food. Like earthworms, skin worms, red worms, etc. can also be fed, these things goldfish like the most, but also relatively easy to digest, after eating will make goldfish more nutritious, have spirit. Usually you feed once a day in the morning, once in the afternoon, each time 3 minutes to eat the best, you can not be fed multiple times because of fun. If you want good water quality, after feeding, look at whether there is any food residue in the fish tank, and try to fish it out.
Therefore, after feeding the dragon's eye goldfish, it is necessary to clean the fish tank in time, so as to maintain good water quality. The feeding time must be fixed, especially when the dragon's eye goldfish adapts to the new environment, which will make the life of the dragon's eye goldfish more regular.
Black gold fish
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > sunlight can be sterilized, and dragon's eye goldfish need to be basked in the sun. </h1>
There are many bacteria in the water body of the fish tank, but most of them do not affect the health of goldfish. So, how to ensure the health of goldfish while sterilizing, reduce the chance of goldfish getting sick? The easiest way to do this is to bask in the sun.
Ultraviolet rays in the sun can be sterilized, generally one to two hours, pay attention not to direct sunlight, time can not be too long, otherwise the goldfish water temperature will also cause disease! The appropriate light intensity and duration will reduce the chance of goldfish getting sick and enhance their physique. For a long time, it will cause water temperature, algae, and health problems.
Of course, sun exposure is only a precaution. If your dragon's eye goldfish is really sick, the old three will go first, and then be treated scientifically, and you can't delay or delay the disease.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > health comes from the environment, how to change the water for the dragon eye goldfish? </h1>
I have talked about the problem of water change many times in previous articles, and the water change is to improve the water quality and guarantee the healthy environment for the survival of the fish. So is it to replace all the water? Of course not, because if you replace them all, the goldfish will be very uncomfortable with the new environment. Therefore, it is generally best to change the water by one-third to one-quarter. If you feel that the water quality is clear, you do not need to change the water, if you find that many turbid objects in the water quality affect the breathing of goldfish, then change the water.
According to the actual situation, the quality of the water quality is simply and intuitively distinguished, and the pH of the water quality should also be adjusted. Raising dragon eye goldfish, the pH of the water is preferably neutral and alkaline, because in such an environment, the dragon eye goldfish grows very well and is not easy to get sick. If we find that the pH of the water is not suitable, we must immediately change the water to ensure the survival and health of the dragon's eye goldfish.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > good look you can not be greedy, the density of dragon eye goldfish is smaller. </h1>
Excessive feeding density of goldfish is the most likely situation to lose goldfish in the tank. In general, the size of the fish tanks for family fish farming is small, and the breeding of dragon eye goldfish cannot be greedy. Dragon's Eye Goldfish is not easy to grow in a dense space, because food competition, lack of oxygen, mobility and other problems will directly affect the health of Dragon's Eye Goldfish, and even threaten their lives.
For friends who have just come into contact with dragon's eye goldfish, raise a few ordinary grass gold to practice their hands first, slowly familiarize themselves with their habits, and then make other plans. The health of the dragon's eye goldfish is inseparable from the water quality, water temperature, and dissolved oxygen. Of course, we can't be too rigid, and we must operate flexibly according to the actual situation. If your tank is larger, then we can keep a few, and if the tank is smaller, you can keep a few fewer.
External weather such as dragon eye goldfish farming and seasons are interrelated. Because of the hot climate, too much cultivation of longan goldfish can lead to problems such as lack of oxygen. At this time, it should be noted that the temperature difference is too large, the temperature difference is too large, and the greater the survival test for the dragon eye goldfish. They can behave abnormally, perhaps manicly, or overly depressed. These are all questions that we need to pay attention to.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > [Summary].</h1>
