The first thing to do is to choose a good tank for raising cichlids in Sanhu. If conditions permit, large vats can be used, and sufficient space is helpful for the growth and life of fish. If it is not a large six or angel, it is not more than 30 centimeters of tiger fish or horse bream, with a 1.2 meter fish tank is enough, the width of the fish tank should be about 50 centimeters, in order to ensure its activities.
The filtration method of Sanhu cichlid is generally upper filtration, which is more convenient to take, and as long as the breeding density is not large, there will be no problem, bottom filtration can also be used. Filter material more choice of bacteria house, can also use coral bone, ceramic ring, etc., do not recommend the use of plastic, the effect is not very good.
In order to ensure the healthy growth of Sanhu cichlids, cleaning work must be done well in advance. In addition to washing the fish tank, any rock and sand put into the tank for modeling should be washed clean, otherwise it will lead to turbidity in water quality and affect the growth of fish. If you want to put shells, you can boil them thoroughly in boiling water before adding them.
To make a scene for the cichlids in Sanhu, you need to lay the bottom with sand first, and then put stones on it. The stones should be concentrated in one direction, so that they look more beautiful. In order to prevent the stone from crushing the glass, you can lay a cotton pad below, but do not let the cotton pad show, you can cut along the outline of the outer edge.
Slowly add water to the fish tank, do not fill it up at a time, and then start filtering to make the water in the tank clear. Add a proper amount of cichlid salt, and then prepare to put a few miscellaneous bream to break into the tank, until the adaptation, you can start to put the fish, the initial feeding less feed, until the adaptation of the environment to start normal feeding.
