1. Inadequate water changes can lead to the death of Arowanas due to sudden changes in water quality and temperature, which may cause swim bladder inflammation. To address this, slow down the water change rate, avoid abrupt changes in water quality, and provide proper rest for the fish after water changes.
2. Poor quality or incorrect portioning of food can result in gastrointestinal issues. Ensure balanced nutrition in the diet, avoid overfeeding, and reduce food intake when signs of gastrointestinal inflammation are present. Maintain clean water to prevent contamination.
3. Unsuitable water temperature can weaken the fish's health, with both high and low temperatures being problematic. Gradually adjust the water temperature to an appropriate range and provide necessary rest for the fish.
4. Improper use of medications or water quality issues can lead to poisoning. Use medications cautiously, follow the correct dosage, and treat promptly while ensuring water quality.
5. High stocking density can increase the risk of fish diseases. Ensure the aquarium is large enough to maintain an appropriate stocking density and be mindful of other environmental factors that may contribute to diseases.
6. Too thick substrates can harbor debris, affecting water quality. Regularly clean the substrates to maintain aquarium cleanliness.
7. Decorative materials may be problematic, releasing harmful substances. Choose safe and non-toxic materials for aquascaping and inspect them regularly.
8. Purchasing sick fish can increase the difficulty of breeding. Buy healthy fish, avoid introducing sick individuals, and be observant of the fish's health upon purchase.
Other important considerations for fish breeding include:
- Maintain clean water, appropriate temperature, and suitable lighting.
- Provide fresh and quantified food.
- Handle fish gently to avoid stress.
- Use medications judiciously to prevent overuse.
- Avoid placing the aquarium in a location with direct sunlight.
Additionally, the initial setup phase (known as "cycling the tank") is crucial. Ensure the water temperature is suitable and wait until the filtration system is properly established before introducing fish. Regularly change the water and observe the fish's reactions to make timely adjustments to the breeding environment and practices.详情
