Have you fallen into the misunderstanding of daily rearing of betta fish?

Dear fish friends, today we will talk about how to raise betta fish. Of course, fighting fish can be divided into fighting fish in China and fighting fish in Thailand. Generally speaking, betta fish in China has strong adaptability and is relatively easy to raise. With regard to fighting fish in Thailand, many fish friends said that they encountered some problems in the breeding process, and fighting fish in Thailand has a considerable fan base in the domestic aquarium market, so now let's take a look at the problems that are easy to occur in the breeding process of fighting fish in Thailand and the corresponding precautions.

The embarrassing things that fish friends responded to in raising fighting fish in Thailand are summarized as follows, and corresponding suggestions are given:

First, raise betta fish in a glass bottle.

It is true that fighting fish are raised in glass bottles in Thai farms, but the same operation is not feasible in China. As the old saying goes, "The orange in Huainan, the orange in Huaibei, is an orange". China is a vast country with the same climate and other conditions. It is inevitable that Thai betta fish will get a little acclimatized when they come to China. If the living space is narrow, it will increase the possibility of getting sick. Therefore, it is suggested to use a slightly larger fish tank to give Thai betta a a suitable living space.

Some people may argue that the fighting fish in the aquarium market live in a small plastic box, which is only temporary. The owner can breathe oxygen in the air, so he won't be short of oxygen for the time being. But after a long time, it is still possible that the water quality is not good and the fish will get sick.

Regarding the choice of fish tanks, here is a reference:

You can choose a 20cm glass jar or make it bigger according to your own preferences. Anyway, there's nothing wrong with having more space. Personally, I think the observation effect of ultra-white glass cylinder is better. Of course, ordinary FRP is understandable as long as it is made clear. It is worth noting that when the fish tank arrives, it is necessary to prevent the tank from jumping, which is also the reason why the fine-mouthed bottle is used for aquaculture in Thailand. Betta fish is more easily attracted by external things and jumps over tanks.

Second, do not pay attention to the control of water temperature and water quality.

Some beginners are prone to make mistakes, thinking that fighting fish is easy to raise, so don't worry too much about water temperature and quality, just let nature take its course. So, make a correction here:

Thai betta is a tropical fish after all, and can't adapt to the extremely low temperature like China betta. Therefore, the water temperature should generally be kept at 22 ~ 24℃, and the lowest temperature should not be lower than 20℃. Especially when changing seasons, we must pay attention to the temperature control. In autumn and winter, northern fishermen should pay attention to keeping betta warm. The specific operation method is: put the small fish tank where betta fish live in a large tank to keep the water temperature constant, or put betta fish in a group tank to heat up evenly.

As for water quality, betta fish has low requirements for water quality. The water quality is neutral, and ordinary tap water can be used after experiments. It would be better if it is weakly acidic soft water. Here are some proven tips: (1) Put an olive leaf in the fish tank, which is also made by some professional fighting fish farms in Thailand. Olive leaves help to create a weak acidic water environment, so it can keep fighting fish in Thailand in the best condition. (2) Spread a thin layer of ceramsite on the bottom of the fish tank. The main function of ceramsite is filtration. Ceramsite can cultivate nitrifying bacteria. Generally, there is only one fighting fish in a fish tank, which has strong adaptability and low requirements for water quality, and does not need to change water for about a week. Change the water once a week, each time 1/3~ 1/4.

Third, fighting fish is becoming less and less active.

Our betta fish is still alive and kicking just after entering the tank, and as a result, it is getting lazy. Fighting fish, in addition to feeding three meals a day, it is important to keep it in a state of excitement at all times. As the old saying goes, "Born in sorrow, died in happiness". The same is true for fighting fish. If you don't move for a long time, your body will fall.

Therefore, the following measures can be taken here:

1. Look at the betta fish in the mirror every other day at most. If possible, let him see other male fish to stimulate his fighting spirit. At the same time, keep fighting at all times, so as to exercise and enhance physical fitness.

2, feeding can be a little more interactive, and interaction helps to exercise the physical strength of fish.

Summary:

Matters needing attention in daily feeding of betta fish in this issue are summarized here. In fact, the most important thing in raising fish is to be careful. Only with your heart can you raise fish well.
