Pattern / Betta Fish Keeping

IntroductionIn recent years, with the improvement of material living, the craze for keeping fish has been very popular. According to surveys and research, the United States ranks third in pet keeping, and I don't know what the ranking of China is. However, whether you have kept ornamental fish or not, you must have come into contact with it, at least you knowFish are pets.

Many friends see beautiful ornamental fish and‘Instant Conversion’So they buy fish tanks and fish and start to keep them. However, many times it's always a failure. Beautiful ornamental fish are always killed by you, died again, bought again, kept again, back and forth, making the enthusiasm for keeping fish decline, and confidence in keeping fish is gradually eroded. Finally, you come to a conclusion: ‘I can’t keep fish, I don’t believe in keeping fish.’ Some friends even say that ‘keeping fish will kill fish’In fact, no one doubts whether they can keep fish or not, only you haven't learned how to keep them properly.Details determine success or failure, the reasons for fish death are mainly as follows:

Water quality problems lead to fish death.

• Water is the necessary condition for fish survival, and good water quality is the guarantee of the fish's living environment. If there are no microorganisms in the water, harmful substances will breed and cause fish to get sick and even die. Of course, pH, hardness, temperature, water volume, dissolved oxygen, and other factors are also part of water quality problems.

Any factor changes or is not suitable for the fish you are raising, it will cause the fish to be uncomfortable and die.How to ensure that the water quality is not a problem?

Only careful + diligent.If you keep fish in unsuitable water quality, there will be specific performance, as long as you observe carefully, when you see abnormal behavior, immediately isolate, change the water and assist with measures such as temperature adjustment and salt addition, you can avoid the fish from dying, at least reduce the probability of fish dying.In short, through careful observation, summarize experience, you can understand and master the habits and characteristics of the fish you are raising, and thus keep them alive and well.Improper feeding leads to fish death.

• It's easy to think that feeding fish is simple.

In fact, ornamental fish don't have a full stomach, when you feed it, it will eat until it's full and keep eating, which is a direct cause of death.Another reason is that too much leftover food will affect the water quality.How to feed fish properly?Only one point: feeding should not be random.

Scientific and reasonable feeding isSmall amounts and precise quantities, no more than three times a day, and within 5 minutes after eating.Many novice fish keepers often make the mistake of feeding fish by the fish tank, although fish also eat, but because of overeating and food residue in the water, it causes fish to get hurt.In short, don't feed fish casually, you are harming the fish.Health problems cause fish death.When ornamental fish get sick, they get sick.

• There are many reasons for fish getting sick, mainly bacterial diseases such as ichthyophthiriasis and white spot disease, which come from bacteria in the water. Other parasites and intestinal diseases are also affected by the environment.

For example, temperature fluctuations and water changes all bring about disease.Ornamental fish are always difficult to prevent and treat, so it is important to find and treat diseases early.For example, in the spring, the temperature rises, and ornamental fish are prone to ichthyophthiriasis. Once the temperature rises, it can cure the fish in the early stages of the disease. In short, early detection and treatment of fish diseases can effectively reduce fish deaths.

Other reasons cause fish death.For example,sudden fright, fish will be stimulated and panic, causing them to jump and hit, causing death.For example, sudden equipment failure, such as power outages, leaks, and pipe leaks, which cause water to drain, also cause fish to die.

• Once, my friend’s heater exploded, the fish tank was broken and the water drained, and all the fish died, and the house was flooded. This is a real situation.

These reasons are caused by human factors, but it is important to purchase and use safe and reliable equipment, and to take comprehensive safety measures.For example, I purchased a two-way DC air pump to ensure oxygen supply in case of power outages.I can't say that this can completely prevent accidents, but it can alleviate or quickly save.Other non-human factors cause fish death, but not very frequent, because the fish you keep will always die, so you need to consider the common factors mentioned above.

Water quality, feeding and disease, you can reflect on it.We always keep ornamental fish and kill them, even if you find N objective factors to convince yourself, but fundamentally, almost all fish deaths are caused by your own mistakes, that is, your way of keeping fish is wrong. In the end, keeping ornamental fish is not just about having water, many details you don’t pay attention to will cause your fish to die, although you don’t want your fish to die, but this is the truth ~ Fish died because you didn't know how to keep them, not because the fish didn't like you to keep them!
