Zebrafish do not need oxygen when there is more oxygen in the water, but they need oxygen when there is insufficient oxygen in the water. Unlike some fish, zebrafish can come to the surface to breathe when they lack oxygen, and the oxygen they need mainly comes from the water. And the density of the fish tank is too high. When the fish tank is small, it is necessary to add oxygen to the zebrafish to ensure their breathing. It is recommended to use an oxygen pump to pump oxygen into the water.
Does zebrafish need oxygen? How to feed it?

1. Do zebrafish need oxygen

? When zebrafish lack oxygen, they need oxygen to increase oxygen. Zebrafish is a high-oxygen animal, to ensure that the oxygen in the water is sufficient, when the oxygen in the water is insufficient, it must be oxygenated, because zebrafish will not surface to breathe, long-term oxygen deficiency, will be in a state of hypoxia, easy to lead to the death of fish.

2. How to feed

zebrafish 1. Feed: Shrimp, paramecium, red nematode and frozen red worm are the favorite foods of zebrafish. Generally, adult zebrafish can be fed twice a day, while small zebrafish need to crush the food before feeding. Tropical fish feed can achieve the purpose of satiety, but the nutrient content is low, zebrafish may not grow so fast after eating.

2. Temperature: Zebrafish is a tropical freshwater fish, which is most suitable for growing at 22-28 degrees. Temperature should not be too high, too high temperature will reduce the dissolved oxygen in the water, easy to breed bacteria in the water, zebrafish will be sick, too low temperature zebrafish growth and development slowed down, reduced spawning.

3. Illumination: The suitable illumination cycle of the zebrafish breeding system is a 14-hour illumination cycle and a 10-hour dark cycle. The illumination system should be gradually bright and dark to avoid stimulating the zebrafish and prevent the zebrafish from jumping out of the fish tank. The light intensity should be in the range of 54 to 324 Lux to avoid insufficient light. The stripes of zebrafish are dark and lack of vitality.
