Don't buy fish!
Novices and aquaphiles with a little experience will mostly make this mistake, at a glance at the stingray, regardless of whether the fish is healthy or not, the situation in the fish tank at home is not allowed, please go home on impulse, and as a result, this has the beginning of the disaster. Please be cautious before asking the fish, after all, it is a life, please go back to you is responsible for its life!
Second, avoid laziness, which is also the biggest taboo!
This is not only a problem for novices, but even experienced aquarists who have been breeding for a long time often make this mistake. Do not change the water for a long time, do not change the filter cotton. I think a lot of aquaters have lost a lot on this. The frequency of water change is based on the feeding density At least twice a week, one-fifth to one-third of each time. Of course, if there is a condition, it is also a good choice to change the water every day, if you change one-third of the water every day, the fish will basically have few problems, and each one is very healthy and lively! Of course, this also varies from fish to fish, weak physique, or the fish that have just been invited back do not change the water in large quantities, and wait for the fish to stabilize and be healthy before a large number of water changes can be carried out.
Three taboos are not careful
Every day to carefully observe, one of the most easy to ignore the problem - leakage of electricity Small stingray is the most afraid of leakage, stingray into the tank before must use the measuring pen to test it, to make sure that there is no leakage of electricity and then into the cylinder. If you find that in the process of crossing the water, the small fish is short of breath, scurrying around, defilming and rolling, not only to see if it is caused by water quality, but also need to measure the electricity, you will find out where the problem is, you can try to connect to the ground to solve the leakage problem, I believe that the small fish that re-enter will not have any problems.
Four taboos are rushed to the hospital
A lot of novice fish just invited home for two days, feeding without eating thought the fish was sick Asked around for advice, got countless prescriptions, and finally eighteen martial arts were able to be performed one by one, and as a result, the original good fish was also tossed to death. Novices should remember that it is normal for stingrays that have just been invited home not to open their mouths for a day or two, especially the urgency caused by fish from other places because they are not familiar with the environment and do not adapt to the water quality is normal, as long as it is not seriously defilmed and curled, do not rush to perform martial arts. Of course, if you just come back and seriously deimpress and curl, I estimate that whether you perform martial arts is basically a result.
Five taboos are low temperature and rapid water flow.
The temperature of small stingrays is recommended not to be too low, generally at 29-30 is appropriate. Remember that the electric heating rod should be added, and the burns of the small stingray are more difficult to get. There is also the water flow is not too urgent, the small stingray is relatively thin, the water flow will float up with the water flow, it will affect the growth. Remember to turn on the lights, open 8 hours a day just like nature, can make his body color better, so that our stingray to meet their own aesthetic requirements are generally white or light blue.
Six taboo filter materials are piled up randomly
First of all, the filter material should be put in the air, do not put it like the coal pile, if it is placed for a long time like the coal pile, it will not only not produce nitrifying bacteria but also increase the speed of water quality corruption! (Filter material becomes black and smelly is the characteristic) Vacating is to use glass strips to separate the filter media and the bottom of the cylinder, it is best to have a space of 3-7 cm high In this space, then use sand strips to steam, and the nitrifying bacteria in your bottom filter cylinder will live well and will also create an excellent ecological water environment.
The six taboos of raising stingrays are a small reminder to everyone, and I hope to be useful.
