Why do fish farmers add nitrifying bacteria to fish tanks?

Purify ammonia. Garbage cannot be decomposed.

However, the nitrification system composed of a variety of beneficial bacteria can be combined, and attention should be paid to sufficient filter material and filtration capacity, and the role of nitrifying bacteria in the grass tank is smaller, because aquatic plants also have the same function (aquatic plants should pay attention to the variety).

1.Nitrifying bacteria do not break down fish waste.

2.Nitrifying bacteria cannot decompose hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in water, but are poisoned and killed by hydrogen sulfide in water.

3.Nitrifying bacteria have no taste, and even after death, they only have a faint smell.

4.Nitrifying bacteria are unable to directly oxidize ammonia (NH3) to nitrate (NO3).

5.Nitrifying bacteria is just a general term, which mainly includes nitrite bacteria and nitric acid bacteria; Nitrite bacteria can oxidize ammonia (NH3) to nitrite (NO2), while nitrate bacteria can oxidize nitrite to nitrate (NO3).

6.Nitrifying bacteria oxidize ammonia (NH3) to nitrite (NO2) and then nitrite (NO2) to nitrate (NO3).

7.Oxygen is required for the growth of nitrifying bacteria.

8.Carbon dioxide is not only harmless to nitrifying bacteria, but nitrifying bacteria need carbon dioxide to multiply and survive.

9.Nitrifying bacteria are ubiquitous.

10.The growth of nitrifying bacteria in the fish tank is slow, and it usually takes a month or more to build a nitrification system by self-generation. If the ammoniating bacteria and nitrifying bacteria are compared, the ammoniating bacteria multiply much faster than the nitrifying bacteria, for example, the reproduction cycle of an ammoniating bacteria is evaluated for about 22 minutes, that is, after 22 minutes, 1 becomes 2, and then doubles to 4 More scientists evaluate, after 20 hours, 1 bacteria can become 109.

It can be seen that ammoniating bacteria multiply at an alarming rate. Nitrifying bacteria, on the other hand, are much inferior.

The reproduction cycle of nitrite bacteria in a nitrifying bacterium is about 24-36 hours, that is to say, after 20 hours, the nitrifying bacteria still stay in the state of 1 bacteria, and the reproduction cycle of nitric acid bacteria is longer, and it takes an average of 60 hours to increase the value of 1 time, which is also the main cause of new tank syndrome.

11.Nitrifying bacteria do not need light to grow, but have the phenomenon of growing in the dark.

12.Nitrifying bacteria do not improve the problem of turbidity in water quality, and it has nothing to do with it.

13.Nitrifying bacteria are very difficult to preserve, and the vast majority of nitrifying bacteria sold on the market are mixed, so we still try to buy big brands when buying.

14.Nitrifying bacteria play a greater role in bare tanks than in grass tanks, because most aquatic plants can replace nitrifying bacteria.

Fish farming tips, nitrifying bacteria, the correct way to add them.

Let's deal with it according to your actual situation, and don't always pay the IQ tax.

Nitrifying bacteria can be placed directly in a fish tank with fish.

Nitrifying bacteria are beneficial bacteria and do not pose a health hazard to fish. But it is better to pour it into the filter box, the nitrifying bacteria can spread and multiply better in the fish tank.

However, during the cultivation process of this bacteria, the water quality is easy to fluctuate, and microorganisms will multiply in large numbers, which can easily cause biological turbidity, so it is best to put nitrifying bacteria before raising fish. If the digestive system in the tank is already established, there is no need to continue the delivery.

How to Grow Nitrifying Bacteria:

1. Prepare the container: the first need to prepare the container for the cultivation of nitrifying bacteria, this container is the place where the nitrifying bacteria are attached, generally using the bacterial house or ceramic ring, such an environment is more conducive to the growth and reproduction of bacteria, in addition, the filter cotton can also be used as a place for culture.

2. Pour raw materials: In the first month of cultivating nitrifying bacteria, you need to regularly pour the culture materials, that is, the culture liquid of nitrifying bacteria. It is usually poured into the cartridge, but it can also be poured directly into the tank, either way, it will take a while to take effect, so add it once a week.

3. Turn off the lights and explode oxygen: As aerobic bacteria, nitrifying bacteria have a relatively high demand for oxygen and are very afraid of light. Therefore, during the cultivation process, it is best to turn off the lights and detonate oxygen for a period of time, so that it can grow and reproduce rapidly, so as to establish a good nitrification system.

Nitrifying bacteria can be placed in a fish tank with fish, and it is recommended that you put nitrifying bacteria directly into the filter cartridge of the filter.

Put a layer of filter material (including bacteria house, ceramic ring, biochemical ball, quartz ball, etc.) in the filter box, and then spread a layer of filter cotton on the filter material, so that the water flow first passes through the filter cotton to play the effect of physical filtration (filter out larger food residues, fish feces, etc.), and then the water flows through the filter material to play the effect of biochemical filtration (the filter material is the best place for cultivating nitrifying bacteria and providing them for implantation and reproduction), and the nitrifying bacteria can decompose the harmful substances in the water body of the fish tank, so that the fish can grow healthily. Therefore, it is recommended that you put the nitrifying bacteria directly into the filter box in proportion, once a week. Generally, after two or three days, you can see a good improvement in the water quality of the fish tank.

Fungicides are not recommended to be used in fish tanks together with nitrifying bacteria, because fungicides will also kill nitrifying bacteria and cause great damage to the ecology of the fish tank water. Some other fish medicines for fish diseases should also be used outside the tank, and the diseased fish can be fished out separately for a reasonable amount of medicinal bath, which will not have a great impact on the ecological environment in the fish tank.

1. Imported bacterial powder, using capsule encapsulation process, can quickly establish a nitrification system after entering the aquarium, and the fish can be invited into the tank within 8 hours;

2. Decompose fish feces and feed residues, and improve aging water quality;

3. Completely degrade ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, stinky ammonium and other harmful substances;

4. Enhance the resistance of fish, inhibit the breeding of germs and harmful algae, and prevent diseases; Reduce the number of water changes to maintain the water color translucent and clean;

5. Regular use can enhance the vitality of the fish, deodorize, resist disease, brighten and promote growth.

Fish farming tips, nitrifying bacteria, the correct way to add them.

Nitrifying bacteria are made up of two types of bacteria, which are divided into nitric acid bacteria and nitrous bacteria. Ammonia is produced due to the decomposition of various organic substances in the water, and ammonia is toxic to fishery, and nitrifying bacteria solve this problem, nitrite bacteria are responsible for decomposing ammonia in water into nitrite, nitrate bacteria are responsible for decomposing nitrite into nitrate, nitrite is toxic, nitrate is non-toxic.

Create a living environment for nitrifying bacteria. Only by providing more living environment for nitrifying bacteria can we get more nitrate orange brothers. Biochemical filter media such as biochemical cotton and bacteria house are specially used to cultivate nitrifying bacteria, which has a large surface area and can attach nitrifying bacteria;

Set up a separate biochemical bin in the filter. Only biochemical filter material is released in the biochemical bin, because the biochemical filter material does not need to be washed frequently, and it is separated from other filter media, which can facilitate the control and management of nitrifying bacteria;

Add nitrifying bacteria concentrate and capsules. It contains a large amount of nitrifying bacteria and the nutrients needed for their growth, and when added, it can increase the establishment rate of nitrifying bacteria. The specific addition method needs to be done according to the instructions provided by the manufacturer;

Increase the amount of oxygen in the water. Nitrifying bacteria are aerobic bacteria, so a lack of oxygen will affect the number of nitrifying bacteria. Changing to an air pump with a large air output can get twice the result with half the effort, and it is best to add a separate gas head in the biochemical chamber if possible;

Wash the biochemical filter media regularly. There are many pores in the biochemical filter material to increase its surface area, and it will be blocked by many impurities in the water after a long time, reducing its surface area. When washing, wash in batches, don't wash all at once.

Because the decomposition of fish excrement and bait residues will produce a large amount of "ammonia", which is fatal to fish. The addition of nitrifying bacteria to the fish tank converts "ammonia" into "nitrite", which in turn converts "nitrite" into "nitrate". "Nitrate" is almost non-toxic in the short term, which buys us time to change the water in the fish tank "intermittently and regularly".

Although nitrifying bacteria compete with fish for oxygen consumption, the addition of nitrifying bacteria is still a positive and necessary measure in order to be able to remove toxins from the water in a "timely and effective" manner.

1. Imported bacterial powder, using capsule encapsulation process, can quickly establish a nitrification system after entering the aquarium, and the fish can be invited into the tank within 8 hours;

2. Decompose fish feces and feed residues, and improve aging water quality;

3. Completely degrade ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, stinky ammonium and other harmful substances;

4. Enhance the resistance of fish, inhibit the breeding of germs and harmful algae, and prevent diseases; Reduce the number of water changes to maintain the water color translucent and clean;

5. Regular use can enhance the vitality of the fish, deodorize, resist disease, brighten and promote growth.
