Aquarists bought a one-meter-two-meter lower filter fish tank to raise some small koi carp, and asked the fish farmer what to pay attention to?
First of all, the first and most important point is in the selection of fish, we can say that if you can choose a koi in good condition, it may be much easier than raising any ornamental fish.
Such a good fish tank is filtered, the water quality is very guaranteed, we can personally go to the fishing ground to choose some good varieties with moderate prices to raise, 10-15 cm or so of small koi can be, as for the appearance and price, it depends on personal hobbies and pockets, as long as the fish has no trauma, smooth body surface, bright color basically no problem.
10 to 15 cm of small koi is the time to grow the body, as long as the fish is properly selected to adapt to the environment will be very fast, the water quality is good and not easy to get sick, so the problem of health is still in the water quality and nutrition of the feeding.
Although it is necessary to have a strong filtration in water quality, but a strong filtration does not mean that there must be a strong water flow, the water flow is too large but it is not conducive to the cultivation of the small koi body shape and appearance, so it is not necessary to install a wave pump like what, but the appropriate oxygenation is conducive to the small koi to adapt to the environment faster, this can be, the small koi only adapts to the environment quickly, and the fast food can promote its rapid growth.
If you don't want to change the fish tank in the future, then we can only raise four or so, but this sub-fish tank will appear space, the small koi into the tank will definitely be afraid, we can temporarily use the isolation board to isolate a period of space to adapt to the environment, and then gradually enlarge the space, we must remember this is very important, or we will directly raise 6-8, wait until the future grows up.
Although koi prefer old water, if you can cultivate a tank of green water to raise koi is also very good, but it is hindered by viewing. But even just because koi like old water doesn't mean they don't need to change water.
If you can do the bottom every day, appropriate daily to add about one-tenth of the new water that is of course better, if not, three to five days to change the water one-fifth is still OK, at the beginning of the water maintenance period, try not to go to a large range of water replacement, unless the water quality has a particularly large problem, we are still limited to one-fifth of the slow increase in water replacement, up to one-third of each water exchange can be.
The appetite of small koi grows rapidly, in addition to artificial feed germ, breeding feed can be fed, we can also appropriately increase the feeding of live food, such as yellow mealworm, shrimp meat, fish meat, etc. are good live food choices for small koi, feed feeding three to five times a day can be, as it grows up, the number of feeding times and active bait can gradually decrease.
Proper light helps the hair color of the small koi and the digestion of food, especially for the prevention of disease is also beneficial and harmless, which is also an indispensable element in koi breeding, if there is a condition, let the small koi properly see some scattered sunlight as well, if there is no sunlight can also be supplemented by light.
The hair color and growth of koi are inextricably linked to old water, scattered sunlight and live food nutrition, water quality, such a hair color will be thick and natural, only relying on the way of coloring feed hair color is not advisable, that can only be used as the most secondary auxiliary means of koi hair color.
I feel that as long as the water quality and feeding these two main aspects, basically can raise the small koi very well, the general tank koi temperature is constant, there are fewer foreign bacteria, there is no need to do regular inspection and quarantine, if the water temperature of the fish tank is not too constant, in the spring and autumn can be properly used salt water to do a vitro quarantine can be, which also depends on the state of the fish, if the fish is in good condition and has a strong appetite, there is no need to do it.
I am a veteran of fish farming, more ornamental fish problems please pay attention, thank you!
