If you want to grow both lotus and fish, you must prepare the container first. General fish tank is not used, must use opaque vat, so as to grow live lotus. In addition, the depth of the cylinder also has certain requirements, because the depth of the cylinder determines the water depth. If the water depth is only 30 centimeters, then water lilies can be planted, and 70-80 centimeters can grow real lotus flowers.
There are two methods for planting lotus, one is to put the flowerpot with lotus planted at the bottom of the pot, and the other is to plant at the bottom of the pot. The former is easier to operate, but it also limits the growth of lotus. The latter usually uses pond mud as nutrient soil to spread at the bottom of the tank, and then seeds lotus root or lotus seed can be planted. As the lotus grows, add water to it slowly.
Lotus needs a certain amount of light, otherwise there is no way to blossom, at the same time through photosynthesis, it can also release oxygen, which is also very critical for fish in the water. It is worth mentioning that lotus itself occupies a certain growth space, so it will inhibit the growth of algae, do not worry about the problem of algae explosion.
In addition to giving certain care to the lotus, it is also necessary to provide certain help to the fish. Usually pay attention to feeding food, so that the fish can grow healthily, but do not feed too much, residual bait and excrement will pollute the water quality. The water needs to be changed regularly, usually once a week or two.
