Hello aquarists, I am a fish farmer, and everyone can easily raise water, happy and happy to raise fish, please pay attention to aquarists!
With the arrival of summer, many aquarists have found some small life in the fish tank, what else will we do if we remove bugs such as protein worms, nematodes, and planarians? There will also be mosquito larvae and this small fish worm.
About the introduction of this small fish worm, I once said that it is a variety of water fleas, it has many types, there are red, there are cyan, mosquito larvae, in my previous articles also detailed in detail.
They have a curved shape in the fish tank, jumping and jumping, sometimes, rising to the surface of the fish tank, but as soon as they are frightened, they immediately go down to the bottom of the fish tank.
First, why do some ornamental fish not eat small bugs? It's because of the palatability issue
Whether it is fish insects or mosquito larvae, they are actually very good food for ornamental fish, why do some ornamental fish not eat it at all?
There is a problem of palatability.
That is to say, the fish worm is too small, the number is too much, maybe the mouth of the ornamental fish is relatively large, it prefers to eat large food, eating this thing it is not addictive.
So, he would choose to give up and not eat at all, unless he was particularly hungry and occasionally swallowed outside of his mouth.
Second, what harm do these small bugs do to medium and large ornamental fish?
So, if the fish tank is raised with medium and large ornamental fish, the fish worms are relatively small or the mosquito larvae are relatively small, they do not eat these bugs at all, these small things, is there any harm to medium and large fish?
That is not necessarily, sometimes there will be, for example, these small bugs, occasionally accidentally drilled into the gills of the fish, the ornamental fish will feel itchy, and then will be the whole tank in circles, make a variety of incredible movements, in our view, these ornamental fish are like a sudden neurosis, and then will shock the tank, crash into the tank, not impossible to die violently.
Third, biological governance must be the best method, there is no one, we must have patience
Then for these small insects, the general small ornamental fish, can eat them, in fact, they are their best food, the most edible, is considered to be a mosquito-eating fish.
Similarly, peacock fish, blue manlong, Mary, red arrow, other lamp fish, etc., casually take out one, including small goldfish, as well as a variety of small ornamental fish, such as I raised that Mark toast last year, at the beginning of the feeding, is not it directly fed mosquito larvae?
There are also swallow fish fry, all kinds of them eat ah, and eat very happy, generally will not have any problems, after all, is alive.
This way is the best way to govern, that is, to use biological governance.
The use of biological treatment, there is no harm to ornamental fish, these small bugs are originally a good food for small ornamental fish, in such a small ornamental fish tank, there is no problem.
Well, the use of biological treatment must not be in a hurry, in some cases directly throw a larger blue manlong, as long as our medium and large ornamental fish can not eat it, then there is no problem, they can quickly eat the small bugs, one can not put more.
However, in some cases, what if the small fish we put in is not large enough, and it is very likely that it will be eaten by the big fish?
The best way is to keep the big and small fish in isolation, set up an isolation area in the fish tank, use the isolation net to let the small fish eat on one side, and then eat the other side after eating, which is the safest and most effective method.
These things, do not be afraid of trouble, must have patience, and then think about these operating modes on your own.
Fourth, the use of phototropism, the use of fishing nets
What is the other one, we can use the tool to catch fish insects, using the light-loving characteristics of fish insects, when it sees the light, it will float to the surface of the fish tank.
Then, we can find the right fishing net on the Internet according to the size of the fish worm, make a fishing net, such as 100 purposes, 80 purposes, 200 purposes, open the fish tank light, let the light attract it, use the fishing net to copy it away, it is definitely less and less fishing, it will not be more and more.
Fifth, solve the eutrophication of water, water is too fat, too much garbage can not be
Finally, it is to pay attention to the fertility of the water body, not too eutrophicating, the filter cotton that should be washed, wash it, clear the impurities at the bottom of the filter material, the corners and corners of the fish tank, all these places should be noted.
Including some places where I often say that the bottom of the water is changed, such as the back of the landscaper, the bottom of the water goblin, the bottom of the pot, the surface of the bottom sand, there are some large amounts of organic matter residue to remove it.
Another can be moderately stopped, do not feed those soup soup water too much food, such as frozen fish and shrimp meat, easy to provide too much nutrients to the fish tank water body, these things will of course lead to the outbreak of various small bugs.
Sixth, conservative treatment is best, do not overdo the drug
Anyway, I usually deal with these things, which is roughly the method used, although the time is not very fast, but the effect is remarkable, and the safety is high.
Including what bottom filter appears in these small bugs, the same reason, think of their own way, including protein worms, etc., please wipe the tank wall, pump the bottom to change the water can be removed.
I never put insecticides in the fish tank, because this thing, one is toxic we are not clear, and then the dosage is difficult to grasp, maybe the small bugs are dead, the fish are also dead, the small bugs are not dead, the fish can also die, this can not be said, because some bugs its vitality is more tenacious, so it is still to take a conservative approach, biological treatment is better.
I am a veteran of fish farming, more ornamental fish problems please pay attention, thank you!
