The original growth environment of the cichlids in the three lakes is alkaline. The horse bream and the red bream are suitable for growing in an environment with a pH of more than 7.5, while the tan bream should ensure that the pH is more than 8. Only in this way, the color of the snapper will be more bright, if the water quality is neutral or slightly acidic, can be improved by adding baking soda.
Three lakes cichlids must provide a relaxed growth environment. Generally, the length of the fish tank is about 1 meter and the width is 45 centimeters. If you keep relatively small shellfish, you can use a 60 cm tank. In addition, the fish tank should be equipped with a good filtration system, multi-purpose high-power pumps, an hour to filter 6 times. In addition, nitrifying bacteria should be prepared, which can also play a role in cleaning the fish tank.
For different cichlids in the three lakes, different types of feed should be fed. If you raise fish living in the middle and upper layers, you need to feed floating feed to facilitate its feeding. If the fish is rock or stratum fish, they should be fed with bottom-sinking feed. There are also some thin skin feed that can float and sink to the bottom, which is not recommended to feed, because it is easy to be eaten up by the upper fish, while the lower fish can not eat.
In order to ensure the healthy growth of the cichlids in Sanhu, water should be changed once a week, and the amount of water change is about one third. Many people think that clean water does not change water, in fact, clean water does not mean good water quality, long-term non-replacement of water is also risky. In addition, in hot summer, the frequency of water exchange should be increased. In winter, the temperature is low, and it can be changed every half month.
