Heating rods are recommended for arowana in summer, because the temperature difference between day and night is large in summer, and arowana is sensitive to temperature fluctuations, so it is better for breeders to use heating rods to keep the water temperature constant. In summer, when the temperature is high, the breeder also needs to use fans or ice bags to cool them down. Because the water temperature is too high, the arowana will be anoxic, and after anoxia, it is easy to have stress reactions such as jumping tanks. In summer, it is better for breeders to control the water temperature of arowana between 25 and 28 degrees Celsius.

1. Does arowana need a heating

rod in summer? It is recommended to use a heating rod in summer. Although the temperature is higher in summer, the heating rod can not be used. However, in summer, the temperature changes greatly between day and night, and in some areas, the temperature at night will be lower than 20 degrees Celsius, which is likely to cause discomfort to arowana. And the arowana is sensitive to temperature changes, if the heating rod is not used, the arowana is likely to have other reactions or diseases. The arowana not only needs to be heated, but also needs to be cooled by the breeder when the temperature is high. Because too high water temperature will reduce the dissolved oxygen in the water, the most common reaction of arowana after hypoxia is to jump tank, so in order to avoid arowana jumping tank or other problems, breeders need to use fans or ice bags to cool down when the temperature is high.

2. How to change water

for arowana in summer? In summer, breeders can change water twice a week. The amount of water changed each time does not need to be too much. It can be controlled at a quarter of the total amount of water. Because the metabolism of arowana will increase in summer, coupled with the higher temperature, the deterioration rate of water in the fish tank will also accelerate, so the frequency of water change needs to be higher. Arowana has higher requirements for water quality. If it is raised with tap water, it needs to be exposed to the sun for 2-3 days in advance. It is necessary to ensure that the content of nitrite and chlorine in the water is 0 before it can be used by Arowana.
