    1. It is generally a timid behavior, it may be that the new fish is not familiar with the environment, so it has been staying at the bottom of the tank, and there is no appetite, and after a period of time, the fish will slowly adapt to the new environment, and will take the initiative to forage for food, swimming back and forth;

    2. If the fish has been raised for a period of time, it was normal before, and suddenly it does not eat and stays at the bottom of the tank, it may be that the fish is sick and needs to be isolated and treated as soon as possible to avoid infecting other fish;

    3. It may be that the amount of dissolved oxygen in the fish tank is not enough, resulting in poor breathing and poor swimming, so the water pump should be used to increase the amount of dissolved oxygen.

    The goldfish does not move at the bottom of the fish tank, it may be that the environment of the goldfish tank is not suitable for goldfish. Or maybe the goldfish is sick and unwell. Goldfish usually do not move at the bottom of the tank, and we need our keepers to give the goldfish in time** and provide a better breeding environment to raise our goldfish.

    Breeding of goldfish.

    First of all, the goldfish have just been bought, and the environment is not suitable, so find a safe environment for them. If we don't have too many rockeries in our fish tank, it will stay underneath. Because water is dangerous in nature, goldfish usually only come near water when they need to breathe oxygen or look for food.

    If they want to avoid danger, then they will get used to staying at the bottom.

    Secondly, goldfish may be sick and unable to swim, so they stay at the bottom of the tank. Goldfish swimming is also exhaustion. When it gets sick, it doesn't have enough energy, so it stays at the bottom of the fish tank all the time.

    This saves energy and improves disease resistance. Of course, at this time we can't let the goldfish heal on its own, we should give it a little medicine to help it heal as soon as possible.

    Finally, we should take appropriate measures, then we need to breed goldfish, which are relatively less harmful to fish. Later, the text needed to be treated according to the condition, vitiligo, rotten tail disease, ** of the disease, all three fungal infections could be used in a bactericidal bath, and then smeared with anti-inflammatory drugs. Fungal infections are mainly a water quality problem, so we should pay attention to changing the daily water quality in time to keep it clean.

    Because the fish can find security in the tank, it is not easy to catch in deep water. This in itself is a habit of his, and he only floats up a little bit with it when he breathes.

    1. Water quality is unstable.

    The main reason why fish will lie on the tank is that the water quality is unstable, which is not to say that the water quality is not good, but the recent changes are too great, such as changing the water with more water, or cleaning or replacing the filter material, which will lead to fluctuations in water quality. Therefore, the amount of water must be controlled when changing the water, and at the same time, the filter material should not be washed easily, which is not good for the health of the fish.

    2. Environmental changes.

    In addition to changes in water quality, other changes in the water body can also cause it to fall into the tank, such as the introduction of new fish and changes in the flow of light. These changes may not be very harmful to the fish, and it will take a while to get used to them, but to be on the safe side, try not to change the external environment of the tank at will.

    3. The fish are sick.

    If a fish gets sick, it will also cause it to lie on the tank. However, this type of lying tank often has other characteristics, so it is easier to distinguish. During the sick period, the appetite is not very strong, and they will not rush to eat after feeding.

    At this time, what needs to be done is to change the water in time, and at the same time, it is necessary to increase the water temperature appropriately, and put an appropriate amount of salt into the water, and keep the salinity at about it.

    Fourth, frightened.

    If a fish is frightened, it may also be caused by changes in the environment, or abnormal sounds and light disturbing it. It should be noted that lying on the tank is the first step in the fish's stress response, and if you don't pay attention at this time, the situation will worsen, causing it to be blindfolded and hyperemia on the body surface.

    1. Stop feeding and recuperate.

    Usually, after the fish has just entered the new tank, due to changes in the environment and not adapting to the water quality, it will sink to the bottom. At this time, it is necessary to suspend feeding, do not feed it, and do not change the water, so as not to affect its recovery due to water quality fluctuations. Generally, after a few days of resting, the fish will no longer sink to the bottom.

    2. Change the water in time.

    If the water quality is not good, the fish will also sink to the bottom, and what needs to be done at this time is to change the water in time. Usually it should be changed once a week, if the filtration is better, it can be changed once every half a month, and the water temperature of the new water and the old water should be consistent.

    3. Increase the water temperature.

    Fish often have certain requirements for water temperature, especially tropical fish, if the temperature is relatively low, it will cause it to be inactive, and it will also sink to the bottom. What needs to be done at this time is to increase the water temperature, generally around 20-30, so that the fish will start to move and feed.

    Fourth, ** disease.

    When a fish is sick, it can also cause it to sink to the bottom. At this time, it needs to be properly heated, and then speed up the water change interval to maintain water hygiene, and also properly add salt, and the concentration is appropriate. If it is not good, you need to mix it with medicine into a solution and soak the fish.

    It's called a belly tank. There are many reasons for this, which can be broadly divided into four categories.

    1. Water temperatureMost fish are ectothermic animals and do not have the ability to adjust their own temperature, so the temperature of the water directly affects whether the tissues and organs of the ornamental fish can operate normally.

    If the water temperature is too low, it will cause the fish to be unbalanced, and the aquarium fish will not be able to control their position in the water, and the result is the lying tank we see. Therefore, it is still necessary to stabilize the temperature with a heating rod.

    2. Poisoning. Ornamental fish poisoning is one of the causes of lying in the tank. Generally, poisoning will be accompanied by symptoms such as black body and ascites, and some ornamental fish will also have the phenomenon of lying on the tank.

    The reason for the poisoning is that the water quality is not good, and there is no comfortable living environment for ornamental fish. Failure to cultivate the nitrification system during the opening period or damage to the nitrification system during fish farming may lead to ornamental fish poisoning; Excessive food debris and fish feces that are not cleaned up for a long time can also cause ornamental fish poisoning; Even changing the water in the fish tank without drying it is also a cause of aquarium fish poisoning. In any case, if there is a problem with the water quality, it can be poisoned.

    One of the manifestations of poisoning is lying on the tank.

    3. Nervousness.

    Most ornamental fish are not in a good situation in the natural environment, and they need to be vigilant against predators at all times, so they are particularly prone to mental stress. Generally, mental stress will cause phenomena such as jumping the cylinder, running around, and lying on the cylinder.

    In order to alleviate the mental tension of ornamental fish, it is necessary to add enough shelter to the fish tank to stabilize the water quality and avoid unnecessary noise and bright light from interfering with the normal life of ornamental fish.

    4. Sickness. There are many kinds of lying tanks caused by illness, such as: cold, water mold, enteritis, etc. Most fish diseases can be manifested by appearance, for example, ornamental fish with water mold will have a layer of white substance like cotton wool on the body surface, and aquarium fish with a cold will shrink their fins and be anorexic.

    1. The water temperature is too low, and the water temperature should be 20-25 degrees.

    2. The space is small, and there is no room for fish to move.

    3. Hypoxia, of course, this situation is also extremely hypoxic. Traces collapsed.

    4. Sickness, what kind of disease you have, you need further observation.

    5. Measures: If it is a problem of water temperature and space, it is necessary to change a large tank and ensure the temperature. Put some salt in the water, and the concentration is a little better. After 3 days of observation, if there is still no improvement, Ziyuan will consider going to the hospital to consult a doctor for further examination.

The first reason is that the water quality is unstable, usually caused by changing too much water or cleaning the filter media, and the amount of water should be controlled at ordinary times. The second reason for the burning of the town is environmental change, which requires the control of light and water flow changes in the first section of the erection.

    The third reason is that the fish are sick and need to change the water in time to raise the temperature and salt**. The fourth reason is to be frightened, and it is necessary to avoid light and sound interference. [Summary].

    Goldfish are sensitive to changes in water quality, especially water temperature, because they are cold-blooded animals, and their body temperature changes with water temperature. If the water temperature suddenly changes by more than 4 degrees, it is difficult for the goldfish to adapt, showing that they do not feed and sink to the bottom lazy. The water temperature of the fish shop and the water temperature of your home will be quite different, so the goldfish you just bought often feel uncomfortable.

    Water temperature and water quality. The suitable water temperature for raising goldfish is 18 to 26 degrees Celsius, I believe you must have heard the saying "goldfish are cold-water fish, the lower the water temperature, the better to raise", in fact, this is not true.

    Indeed, the goldfish has a strong ability to resist cold, but the temperature is too low, the metabolism of the fish will also slow down, that is, do not like to eat, do not like to swim, and do not grow long, the water temperature is high, you should also pay attention to the nutrient content in the water, the higher the water temperature, the lower the oxygen content in the water, and vice versa, the goldfish belongs to the fish species that consume more oxygen, so you should pay attention to the oxygen content in the water, if there are many small fish in the tank, buy an oxygen pump, but novice fish farming is still recommended to be sparse in the tank.

    Goldfish are ectotherms, although they can survive at 0-30 degrees Celsius, but the most suitable temperature for their growth is 20-28 degrees Celsius. In the summer, the water is usually changed once a week. Change the bottom water every 3-4 days.

    The amount of bottom water transferred is generally one-third or one-half of the water from the fish tank. The goldfish requires a pH of 7-8 ammonia: 0mg l nitrite:

    Nitrate: < 50 mg l.

    The reasons why the fish do not move at the bottom of the tank are: disease, water quality, low water temperature, etc.

    1. Illness

    Ornamental fish are more likely to be sick, this problem mainly involves the problem of our selection of fish, before the ornamental fish enter the fish tank, they may have been sick, so they will be more lazy swimming, and then we do not pay attention to some problems in the usual feeding, resulting in ornamental fish disease, so they do not like to move.

    In most cases, if we observe carefully, we will find some specific symptoms of ornamental fish, such as dull body branches, tarnished, white hair, white spots, ascites, enteritis, etc., these diseases may cause ornamental fish not to move, and most of them are in the early stage of ornamental fish disease, and in the later stage, if the ornamental fish do not like to move, many symptoms are already very obvious.

    2. Water quality

    There is a big problem with the water quality of the fish tank, as the name suggests, that is, the water quality of our fish tank is caused by too many toxins, in many cases, if the water is turbid, the ornamental fish have symptoms of hypoxia, most of them will float to the surface of the fish tank and breathe non-stop, only the toxins in the water quality are too high, it is very likely that they have been poisoned, so they will be reluctant to swim.

    At this time, we have to find a way to improve the water quality of the fish tank, or use water quality testing reagents, one by one analysis and verification, generally ammonia nitrogen, nitrite is too high, if we do not change the water for a long time, it may also lead to too high nitrate.

    3. The water temperature is too low

    The water temperature is too low or **, resulting in a cold for ornamental fish, the water temperature of our fish tank is too low, it will lead to a decrease in the appetite and mobility of the ornamental fish, some ornamental fish, for example, we say that tropical fish will lose their vitality and appetite when the water temperature is too low, and even suffer from the symptoms of a cold, which will cause them to lie on the tank for a long time, and in severe cases, they will have white spots and white hair.

    If it is said that it is white spots and white hair, we may still have a chance to be the best, and the most feared is the asymptomatic cold, and the ornamental fish will slowly die.

    In addition, the water temperature is too low or the water temperature ** is related to the temperature difference when we change the water, many aquarists will actually notice this situation, but sometimes the hail and sensitivity often forget, so it must be a necessary small equipment for us to change the water at any time. We can throw the water thermometer directly into the trapped water tank, so that it is not easy to forget easily.
