Grass carp is a very common fish, artificial breeding of them is also very common, in many areas there are breeders who breed grass carp. In the process of aquaculture, special attention should be paid to the water used. Untreated tap water can not be used to raise grass carp because it contains a lot of chlorine. These chlorine in the water may form a new substance hypochlorous acid, which is harmful to grass carp, such as may lead to electrolyte imbalance in their bodies and so on.
However, this does not mean that tap water cannot be used to raise fish. After the treatment of removing chlorine, grass carp can be raised with tap water. There are many ways to remove chlorine. It can stand for a few days or be exposed to the sun for a few days. In addition, you can also use some special chlorine removal agent, this agent is relatively easy to buy, the effect is also good.
As mentioned above, tap water without dechlorination cannot be used to raise fish, because the substances inside are harmful to grass carp and may lead to the death of grass carp. If you want to make grass carp not die easily, the first thing you need to do is to remove the chlorine in the water. It can be left standing or insolated, and special chlorine removal agents can also be used.
In the subsequent breeding process, attention should also be paid to the need to do a good job of ensuring water quality if we want to prevent grass carp from dying easily. A filtration system can be set up to clean the impurities in the water regularly. In addition, water quality can also be guaranteed by regular water exchange. When changing into new tap water, the work of dechlorination should also be done first. In the replacement, can not change into too much new tap water, each time about a quarter of the replacement can be, too much water will change the environment too much.
