When you go to the fish store, you see a bunch of new fry that are very healthy, active, and hungry, but when you buy them and put them in your tank, after a few days you will find that the fish hide and don't want to eat. On 5th and 6th, some fish will turn black. About 1 to 2 weeks later, some fish will die. At this time, you will not understand why the fish died, or you will think the fish is sick so you mix medicine for the fish, use all kinds of medicine but the results get worse the more you treat it, in the end only a few fish are still lucky enough to survive. When such a situation occurs, it will be inevitable to think that the fish store was dishonest when selling problem fish to you without knowing that sometimes it is your unintentionality that makes you no longer interested in raising lovely fish.
FILL WATER AND RELEASE FISH IS IMPORTANT.
In the process of raising fish, releasing fish and pouring water into the tank is very important, but this step is not given enough attention by fish keepers. Most fish keepers only apply the experience of buying new fish, placing the nylon bag in the tank, waiting for the water temperature in the bag and in the tank to reach uniformity, then putting the fish and water in the nylon bag into the tank.
People often only pay attention to the water temperature and ignore the water quality. For some fish with strong adaptability, there is no problem, but for some fastidious fish, this can be the cause of their death. The water quality is not the same anywhere, for example, the east and west of the same city, even between this area and that area not far apart, the water quality is not the same, especially for fish of imported origin, the water quality is even more different.
PROCEDURES FOR FILLING WATER AND RELEASING FISH
- Place the fish bag in the water to balance the temperature (20 minutes).
- Let the fish get used to the new water/Acclimate ( ~5 hours )
- Add the new fish to the tank
- Turn off the lights, let the fish rest, do not feed. Only feed after at least 1 day.
FISH WATER CHANGE PROCESS
Tap water: Tap water is clean and sterile, so its uses are not inferior to rain water. However, if you use tap water to replace fish tank water, you should pour it out first to let the water evaporate and the chlorine will be gone so the fish can live well because the disinfectant in tap water is small particles that are harmless to us but have a significant impact on ornamental fish.
