Can the aquarium raise ornamental fish without filtering? What if the fish tank is not oxygenated? In fact, regarding the problem of aeration and filtration equipment in fish tanks for fish farming, I believe that many friends still have some misunderstandings. This misunderstanding is that the fish tank must be oxygenated and filtered, but what I want to tell you today is that these are not necessary, in other words, even if your fish tank does not increase oxygen and does not filter, in fact, you can raise fish.
But why are fish tanks now oxygenated and filtered? Because convenient! Yes, people are always lazy, and human nature is like this. And many things in the world, to some extent, are also because of "laziness" that there are new inventions. For example, we are too lazy to drive, so we invented driverless cars. In the same way, we are too lazy to change the water in the fish tank often, and the fish tank filtration comes into being. We're too lazy to feed the fish, so we have timed feeders, and so on.
<h1>Fish farming does not need to be aerated, so what happened to the aeration pump of the aquarium shop? </h1>
Back to our topic of aeration, since fish farming can not be oxygenated, then in the aquarium shop and the fish pond of the vegetable market, why is there always an oxygen pump plus an aero stone in a continuous supply of oxygen?
Maybe I said a little sloppy, in the case of high density, there is still a need for oxygenation, after all, the oxygen content in the water is not updated as quickly as the air, and if there are many fish, the oxygen in the water is sucked out at once, and the speed at which the oxygen in the air is integrated into the water alone is not enough for so many fish to breathe and consume oxygen in the water, so we need to artificially increase additional oxygen.
In the case of our family fish farming, basically not so much, the density will not be so high, and most of the ornamental fish are not high oxygen consumption ornamental fish, so there is basically no need for additional oxygenation. After all, without oxygenation, you can save the next part of the cost of fish farming, buy more packs of better quality feed, and raise ornamental fish more beautifully.
Here we still need to remind that the common high-oxygen consumption ornamental fish are: goldfish, koi fish, map fish, parrot fish, grass goldfish (small goldfish). If it is to raise ornamental fish with high oxygen consumption, and then the fish tank is too small, it is similar to the high-density feeding situation of aquarium shops and vegetable markets, and it is also necessary to increase oxygen, and a sign to judge whether the fish are hypoxic is to see whether the fish have been floating on the surface of the water, and if so, it is hypoxia.
<h1>Does the unfiltered fish tank exist? </h1>
Of course, filtration is to help us more convenient fish farming, but filtration will also increase the cost of feeding and affect the beauty. Especially the much-complained drip box, although the filter effect is good, but the appearance value is so poor. Even if it is an external filter, it is also necessary to hang a thing outside the fish tank, naturally it is not as good as nothing outside, and the fish tank with a chandelier looks clean and tidy.
Some aquarists will ask, if you don't filter it, don't you have to change the water every day? In fact, if your fish tank is large enough, and the density of fish is not very much, it can be used. And the fish tank that can still maintain clean water quality without filtration will generally add bottom sand, and the bottom sand can play a substitute effect of filtration, and two of the most core effects are: precipitating impurities & culturing nitrifying bacteria. In fact, we look carefully at the filter, which is also the truth. Although you seem to suck things away, the filtered white cotton still precipitates the impurities, which is similar to the precipitation of the bottom sand, but we can't see it in the filter box, which is more beautiful.
The cultivation of nitrifying bacteria is also similar, and the filtration energy purification is mainly due to the fact that a large number of nitrifying bacteria are cultivated on the biochemical filter media of the ceramic ring biochemical ring to deal with the matter of water purification, and the high-quality bottom sand still has such a function.
Finally, the fish tank plus filtration can indeed let us raise ornamental fish will save more time and effort, but the purpose of this article is still to tell you such a thing, if one day you just do not have to filter the fish tank, do not worry too much, in fact, do not filter the fish tank, as long as the water body is large enough, and the density of ornamental fish is not high, can still be raised. Of course, if there is a condition, adding bottom sand can keep the water clearer.
If you also like to raise ornamental fish, you may wish to pay attention to it, all you want for fish farming is here.
