How do you feed a small tropical fish?

Buy flakes and particulate feed once a day at a fixed point.

First of all, feeding small tropical fish needs to prepare fish tanks, suction pipes, thermometers, fish nets, glass lamp barrels, electric heating pipes, air pumps, filters, thermostats, hoppers, decontamination liquid and other equipment, and secondly, the following matters need to be paid attention to in the process of feeding tropical fish:

1.Water temperature changes: The best temperature for tropical fish to survive is 25 degrees Celsius, and the temperature requirements vary for different species, some as high as about 30 degrees Celsius, and some prefer 20 degrees Celsius;

2.Stocking density: In order to ensure sufficient oxygen for tropical fish, the number of feedings should be in a normal proportion with the surface of the feeding water;

3.Feed type: The feeding habits of tropical fish vary from species to species, which can be roughly divided into three categories: animal, plant, and omnivorous.

4.Diseases: There are many causes of tropical fish disease, including infection caused by purchased diseased fish, white spot disease caused by low temperature, and water quality due to residual food and spoilage or decomposition of fish feces.

5.Disease prevention and disinfection: The more commonly used disease prevention and disinfection drugs are edible salt and potassium permanganate, which should be diluted in water according to a certain proportion.

You can feed two to three times a day, a small amount of food, if the time is not enough, you can feed once a day or two, in this case, pay more attention to the water quality, most of the tropical fish will not eat again when they are full, but the remaining feed will pollute the water quality.

It is recommended to feed small tropical fish 1 2 times a day, although the fish are more resistant to hunger, they still need to be fed 1 2 times a day. When feeding, you can choose to feed artificial bait, and properly feed red-line bait such as earthworm bloodworms, but it must be sterilized and disinfected. In addition, it is necessary to clean up the food residue at the bottom of the tank in time after feeding to avoid polluting the water quality and affecting the health of the fish.

When raising small tropical fish, they are generally fed every half day or a day, although the fish are more resistant to hunger, but long-term non-feeding is easy to affect its growth and development. Usually 1 or 2 times a day is sufficient.

Tropical fish can be fed artificial feed, and properly fed earthworms, bloodworms and other live bait to achieve the purpose of nutritional balance, feeding must be the live bait for disinfection treatment, to avoid infection with bacteria affecting the health of the fish.

It is also necessary to control the amount of food when feeding, as too much feeding can cause it to suffer from gastroenteritis. After each feeding, it is also necessary to clean up the food residue at the bottom of the tank in time to avoid polluting the water quality and causing adverse effects on the health of the fish.

1. The dietary principles of small tropical fish

The principle of suitable diet for small tropical fish is diversified, balanced and scientific, and the feed should have good nutrients and appropriate taste and taste, so as to facilitate the digestion and absorption of fish. At the same time, a single feed should also be avoided, and the feed should be changed often to ensure the improvement of fish farming.

2. What feeds are suitable for small tropical fish?

Small tropical fish are suitable for feeding a variety of feeds, including fish food, insects, small crustaceans and some vegetables. Fish food can be divided into sand, granular, and powdered forms, and granules are preferable. Insects mainly include silkworm pupa, fly maggots and bloodworms, etc., which can be selected according to the body size and mouth shape of the fish.

Small crustaceans include tofu worms, crayfish, etc., which can be added in moderation. Vegetables include spinach, amaranth, etc., which can be finely chopped and fed.

3. What feeds are not suitable for small tropical fish?

Small tropical fish should not be fed a large number of artificial bait, earthworms, etc. Artificial baits are often filled with many chemicals that are not good for the health of small tropical fish. Earthworms contain a lot of fat and solid matter, and overfeeding can cause indigestion and slow growth in small tropical fish. Early Town.

4. How to properly supplement the nutrients needed by small tropical fish

When feeding small tropical fish, the feed should be selected according to the nutrients required by the fish. In general, the feed of small tropical fish should be rich in ingredients such as protein, acidic amino acids, arginine, enzymes, vitamins and minerals. In addition, it can be doped with a small amount of milk calcium, cod liver oil and medical iron sulfate to meet the nutritional needs of small tropical fish.

1. Water source selection: mineral water, tap water for chlorine removal, remember not to use pure water! There are two ways to quickly remove chlorine: boiling water to remove chlorine; There is also the use of sodium thiosulfate (hypo) to remove chlorine.

2. Water maintenance: pour water into the aquarium, turn on the filtration and lights, and add nitrifying bacteria (1 bottle cap in a small tank). Generally, fish are raised after a week of water rearing.

3. Fish selection: first check the feeding methods and polyculture requirements of the relevant fish on the Internet, provide the aquarium area to the seller and ask the seller the most suitable mantissa to raise. Choosing fish is a matter of luck, some fish are very lively in the store but die at home, you can consult the online masters, or you can let experienced people help you grow your eyes at the Shilihe Fish Night Market every Friday.

4. Pour the fish: buy home are oxygenated, do not pour it directly, should be put into the aquarium with the packaging, 20-25 minutes later open the fish, to release the gas little by little, do not spill all the gas at once, some fish will not adapt to cause illness and death. After opening, slowly pour into the aquarium, and stop eating for 2 days before feeding.

5. Feeding: a small amount of multiple times, fixed time.

6. Water change: The new water at the same temperature each time does not exceed 1 3 of the total volume of raw water. Nitrifying bacteria should be added every time the water is changed.

7、?Oxygen: Generally, a filter pump is enough, and the oxygen pump we usually talk about is not an oxygen pump in the real sense, it just mobilizes the surrounding water to make the stagnant water alive.

So the filter pump is enough to make the stagnant water flow, but in the event of a power outage, it needs to be replaced by a battery-operated oxygen pump to make the water flow.

1. Taste preference of small tropical fish

The small tropical fish is a tropical freshwater fish that is a picky eater and has a relatively strict taste preference for food. They prefer soft, easy-to-digest foods such as small zooplankton, snails, shrimp and insects. In addition, small tropical fish have smaller mouths, so the size of the food also affects their appetite.

Although the food preferences of small tropical fish are relatively simple, their eating habits are not completely consistent. Therefore, for friends who breed small tropical fish, it is necessary to choose the food varieties that are suitable for them according to different species of fish, so as to better meet their taste preferences. For example, for species such as lotus fish and guppies, it is suitable to feed live small aquatic organisms such as bloodworms, earthworms, and daphnia.

2. The nutritional needs of small tropical fish

Small tropical fish are small in size but have a lot of nutritional needs. In addition to traditional nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, baby tropical fish also require some special nutrients, such as vitamins, trace elements, and amino acids. These nutrients play an important role in the healthy growth and reproduction of small tropical fish.

For those who breed small tropical fish, you can choose nutritious and easy-to-digest feed brands, such as professional feed with krill, fishmeal, soybean meal and yeast as the main raw materials for small tropical fish to eat. At the same time, some vitamins and trace elements can also be added appropriately to ensure the comprehensive nutritional intake of fish.

3. Bait feeding methods for small tropical fish

During daily bait feeding, care should be taken to control the amount of bait for small tropical fish. Because the appetite of small tropical fish is relatively small and the amount of food is small, if it is overfed, it will cause gastrointestinal discomfort and even intestinal obstruction and other problems of the fish, which may lead to the death of the fish in severe cases.

At the same time, the timing and frequency of feeding is also very important, according to the appetite and digestive function of small tropical fish, an average of 2-3 times a day, each feeding does not exceed 5 minutes. The temperature of the suitable bait should be consistent with the water temperature of the small tropical fish to avoid the digestion of the tropical fish due to too hot and cold food.

4. Water quality environment of small tropical fish

Finally, the high quality of the water environment also plays a vital role in the healthy growth of small tropical fish. A good water quality environment can improve the appetite and digestion of small tropical fish, while reducing the breeding and transmission of pathogenic bacteria.

For the management of water quality and environment, the water quality can be changed regularly, water holes can be added, aquatic plants and aquatic plants can be added to ensure the cleanliness and freshness of the water quality, and the natural environment of the tropical rainforest can be simulated as much as possible.
