The color skirt fish is a tropical fish, which can adapt to a wide range of water temperature and can grow healthily in the waters of 15-30 ℃. But if you want to keep it well, you can control the water temperature more carefully and maintain it between 23-26 degrees Celsius. If they are in a low temperature environment for a long time, the fish will be affected, resulting in their color fading and affecting their ornamental value.
1, water change interval: The water change interval of the color skirt fish is usually one week, but it will also be affected by the season. For example, in summer, when the temperature is high, the water quality is easy to rot, and the interval of water exchange can be shortened appropriately. In winter, the temperature itself is not high, frequent water change is easy to stimulate the fish body, affecting its life.
2. Pay attention to the amount of water: The amount of water to be changed each time should also be controlled. Usually, about one third of the water should be changed. However, if the filtration system is better, it can be changed a little less. In addition, if the amount of water is too much, it is easy to stimulate the growth of fish, which is not conducive to its development and life.
3. Water temperature and water quality: Pony fish itself is a tropical fish, so the water temperature must be controlled above 20 ℃, otherwise it will not only frostbite it, but also cause it to fade. It is usually kept at about 24 ℃, PH should be controlled between 6.5 and 6.8, hardness can be 5, this weak acid water is still very helpful for the life of fish.
4. Whether to add salt: Usually, it is not necessary to add salt when changing the water for the fish. Adding salt is often only used when the fish is sick. This can change the osmotic pressure of the fish and reduce the spread of the virus. If salt is added at ordinary times, it is easy to control the concentration poorly, leading to fish disease.
