The capsule sent to buy a fish tank is actually nitrifying bacteria. Fish farming is not water can be raised, must create a good ecological cycle, the organic matter in the water, such as residual bait and fish, etc., will be heterotrophic bacteria decomposition, resulting in a large number of ammonia nitrogen, which is a harmful substance to fish, and the role of nitrifying bacteria is to convert these ammonia nitrogen into nitrite, further into nitrate, and nitrate can be absorbed by aquatic plants. Which is beneficial to the growth of the plants.
1. Disinfection: The newly bought fish tank should be disinfected first. The conventional disinfectant is potassium permanganate. The usage is to fill the fish tank with water first, then pour in potassium permanganate to soak for 3-4 hours, then drain the water, and rinse it with clean water several times. After washing, you can prepare water injection, water generally need to be trapped for a few days of tap water.
2. Bacteria culture: The purpose of bacteria culture is to quickly establish a nitrification system. Although the nitrification system can be established without bacteria culture, it takes a long time. The method of cultivating bacteria is relatively simple, after pouring nitrifying bacteria, a little fish food can be put in, and at the same time, oxygen explosion is needed. After that, the water will first become cloudy and then clear, so that the nitrification system is established.
3. Water test: After the water is clear, the water culture is basically completed. Theoretically, the water body at this time can be used for fish culture, but it is better to test the water first to be on the safe side. The way to test the water is to put a few fish into the tank, generally choose more solid fish, half a month without illness or death, you can buy fish into the.
