The first step in raising water in a new fish tank is to trap the water, because basically all the water used is tap water. The water contains chlorine, and although the amount is very small, it is not harmful to the human body, but it has a great impact on the fish. The purpose of trapping water is to remove chlorine, put the water in a sunny place for a day, and if there is no sun, it will take about a week to dry.
Pour the trapped water into the fish tank. At this time, do not release the fish immediately. Instead, turn on the filter device in the fish tank first. Filtration should be opened for a day and a night to ensure that the water in the tank is filtered once, so that some impurities in the water can be filtered out, and suspended particles will slowly sink to the bottom, providing a just living environment.
If the fish is tropical fish, then the water temperature is also need to pay attention to. Generally speaking, most tropical fish are suitable for growing in the environment of 20-30 C. Too low temperature will affect their appetite, too high will also be harmful to health, so we must use heating rod to control the water temperature to ensure that the temperature is constant.
If you raise large fish, the oxygen in the water may not be enough, at this time you need to oxygen in time. In addition to the filter can play a role in supplementing oxygen, oxygen pump is also a good choice, which can be opened 2-4 hours a day to oxygenate the water body.
