Water disinfection of new fish is generally divided into three steps: overheating, water disinfection and drug disinfection. The first step is to overheat. Temperature changes are not good for the health of fish, so it is necessary to make the water temperature consistent first. This requires putting the bag of fish into the fish tank, so that the overheat can be completed. The second step is to cross the water, that is, to exchange the water in the fish tank and the bag several times, usually every ten minutes. The third step is to disinfect the fish, usually with yellow powder or potassium permanganate, soaking for a period of time.
What are the steps to disinfect the new fish and what are the preparations for entering the tank

1. after buying the

new fish home, do not rush into the tank, it should be overheated first. Because the fish tank has heating rods and other equipment, the temperature is often different from the outside world, but the bag containing new fish can not keep warm, so the temperature is easy to drop, and over-temperature is to make the water temperature of the two close, so as to avoid fish discomfort. The method of overheating is very simple, just put the bag of fish slowly from the top of the fish tank, so that the bottom of the bag touches the water in the tank.

2. after the water

is heated, the next step is to pass the water. The purpose of the water is to let the fish adapt to the water quality of the fish tank, so this process must not be urgent, usually takes about half an hour to an hour. First, scoop out a part of the water in the bag, about one tenth, and then scoop it into the fish tank. Then, scoop out the same amount of water from the tank and pour it into the bag. Wait for ten minutes and then do it again. Repeat about five times to finish the water.

3.

In addition to over-temperature water, new fish should be properly disinfected. The purpose of disinfection is to prevent it from carrying some harmful bacteria into the fish tank, thus affecting the healthy fish in the tank. Usually, potassium permanganate and yellow powder are used for disinfection, which are mixed into solution and poured into bags for soaking for about 20-30 minutes. After the disinfection is completed, the bag can be removed and the new fish can enter the fish tank.
