When raising fish, we often hear others say, "Raise water before raising fish.". Among them, water culture refers to the need to cultivate water quality suitable for fish growth before the fish to be cultured are put into the water. There are many aspects included, such as water temperature, oxygen content in water, nitrification system and so on, which need attention. This step is very important, can not use water to raise fish casually, otherwise the fish may not adapt to the situation after putting into the water, and it will also have a very negative impact on the growth of fish.
The necessity of raising water has been introduced above. Keeping water can be tricky, especially if you've just bought a new tank. Specifically, you can use the following methods to raise water:
1. Fish tank disinfection or cleaning: If you have just bought a new fish tank, you can first use potassium permanganate solution to disinfect it to avoid containing some substances harmful to fish. If it is an old fish tank, then generally a little cleaning is enough.
2. Adjust the dissolved oxygen and temperature: After disinfection and cleaning, fill the fish tank with water, and then adjust the oxygen content and water temperature. In order to increase the oxygen content in water, an oxygen pump can be prepared in advance. After that, the water temperature can be adjusted by heating rods and other tools.
3. Cultivation of nitrification system: It is better to cultivate a well-functioning nitrification system in water, which is of great help to improve water quality.
4. Put the fish in formally: After the above water raising steps are basically completed, you can raise the fish. Before that, we can test with some small fish to see if the environment is in the most suitable state.
