First, water quality maintenance is the core. Raising fish first requires raising water. Tap water cannot be directly poured into the fish tank. It is necessary to aerate in advance for 48 hours or add a water quality stabilizer to remove residual chlorine in the water. Fish can be put into the tank only after the water quality is stable; change water regularly, follow the principle of changing 1/3 of the water every week, control the temperature difference within ±1℃ when changing water to avoid fish stress; match high-quality filter media and sponges, clean the filter media regularly, wash only 1/3 each time, and rinse with the original tank water to avoid damaging nitrifying bacteria.
Second, there are skills in choosing fish tanks. For novices, it is recommended to choose a 60cm standard ultra white glass tank, which has stable water volume and is easy to maintain. Round tanks low light transmittance, which will shorten the life of fish and plastic tanks easy to breed algae should be avoided; the fish tank should be placed away from air conditioners and windows to avoid excessive temperature difference and direct sunlight, preventing algae outbreaks. For customers in different regions, we can also provide customized fish tank solutions according to local living habits and environmental characteristics.
Third, reasonably control the breeding density and fish selection. Follow the principle of 1cm fish = 1L water to avoid water quality deterioration and fish hypoxia caused by excessive density; novices should give priority to easy to raise varieties such as peacock fish, zebra fish, and betta fish, and avoid high difficulty species such as koi and arowana to reduce the difficulty of pet raising; understand the habits of fish species before mixed breeding to avoid the situation where big fish eat small fish and gentle fish are attacked. For customers in different regions, we will recommend suitable fish species according to local climate conditions and market preferences, such as recommending tropical fish varieties suitable for warm climates to customers in Southeast Asia and Africa.
Fourth, scientific feeding to avoid pitfalls. Follow the 3 minute principle, the feeding amount should be finished within 3 minutes to avoid residual bait polluting the water quality due to excessive feeding; arrange 1 day of fasting every week to promote the emptying of fish intestines and reduce the incidence of enteritis; live bait should be frozen for 48 hours to sterilize before feeding to avoid carrying parasites. We will also provide feeding guidelines according to the eating habits of different fish species to help global customers feed scientifically.
Fifth, daily observation should be timely. Observe the swimming posture, appetite and body state of the fish every day. If abnormalities such as fish floating to the surface to breathe, white spots on the body, and unbalanced swimming posture are found, it is necessary to check the water quality in time, and isolate and treat if necessary to avoid the spread of the disease. We provide 24 hour after sales consultation service to answer the daily feeding problems of global customers at any time.
