fish tank feces are usually cleaned once a week. Because manual cleaning generally can not only clean up the dirt, the water will be pumped out, so that the feces can be pumped out, and in order to maintain the water level, but also add new water, if the cleaning is too frequent, the new water will stimulate the fish to a certain extent, which is not conducive to its health, and cleaning once a week is just the same as changing the water, which is more convenient.
will happen if you don't clean it up? 1. Water quality deteriorates: If the excrement in the fish tank is not cleaned up, the water quality will gradually deteriorate. When excrement is decomposed, it produces a large amount of ammonia nitrogen, which is toxic to fish. Although nitrifying bacteria can convert part of it, if the content is too high, it will still endanger the health of fish.
2. Turbid water body: When feces are decomposed, microorganisms will multiply in large numbers, thus making the water body turbid. This kind of turbid water is not conducive to the growth of fish, so it must be treated in time. The way to deal with it is to change the water, and when changing the water, it is best to clean up the feces at the bottom of the water.
3. It is easy to explode algae: As mentioned above, the ammonia nitrogen content in the water will increase, which will lead to eutrophication of the water body, and under proper light, this will induce the growth of algae, thus making the fish tank explode algae. Algae can increase the oxygen consumption of fish tanks and occupy space, which is harmful to the growth of fish.
