How to care for and make the golden fish plant bloom
This article introduces how to care for and make the golden fish plant bloom and the tips for maintaining the plant, let's take a look with the editor!
The golden fish is the ancestor of the goldfish, also known as red carp or golden carp. It has a robust constitution, strong resistance and adaptability, a wide diet range, and does not require meticulous management. In addition to red, its body color also includes red and white patterns, five colors, etc., making it very suitable for large-scale breeding in parks and natural waters, as well as in backyard ponds and aquariums. Let's take a look at the price and breeding methods of the golden fish!
Breeding methods of golden fish
1. Density: The breeding density of golden fish should be low rather than high. Usually, adult fish over 8 centimeters in length should not be kept in small glass tanks, but should be kept in large glass or ceramic tanks and equipped with a small oxygenator to prevent hypoxia.
2. Feeding: Golden fish should be fed with nutritious animal feed (such as daphnia, earthworms) and white sesame seeds, etc. Do not feed poor-quality golden fish feed bought from stores. Feeding is usually done once in the morning and once in the afternoon, and it should not be overfed, just enough to finish eating.
3. Lighting: It is best to place the fish tank in a place where it gets 1-2 hours of sunlight to use the ultraviolet light to kill germs and prevent diseases. At the same time, due to photosynthesis, the color of the fish is more vibrant and beautiful.
4. Water change: Regularly changing the water of golden fish can increase the dissolved oxygen in the water. When changing the water, only one-third to one-fourth should be changed at a time. Changing too much water at once will make the fish uncomfortable. The timing of water change is not fixed, it depends on the water quality, more changes when the water is murky.
Seasonal management of golden fish
1. Spring: Spring is the breeding season for goldfish, with the focus of breeding work being on the spawning of parent fish and the care of fry. During the spawning season, live bait should be provided as much as possible. The plum rain season is the season when goldfish are prone to diseases, and affected fish should be isolated and treated with medication for prevention.
2. Summer: In summer, water temperatures are usually above 25 degrees Celsius, and harmful bacteria and parasites in the water are significantly reduced, so fish rarely get sick. However, due to high water temperatures, algae in the water increases and the dissolved oxygen decreases, making the focus of breeding work to prevent heat stroke and hypoxia.
3. Autumn: In autumn, the fry born in spring have all reached the adult stage. At this time, the focus should be on increasing feeding to maintain the plump shape of the fish. Fattening is the key task in autumn, which is also a season with a high incidence of diseases, requiring active prevention.
4. Winter: Although it is difficult for fish to grow in winter, the fatness of the fish can increase. Ornamental fish have all developed, making this the busiest season for buying and selling. The focus of breeding at this time is to maintain stable water quality and keep the fish healthy.
Disease prevention and treatment of golden fish
1. Fin rot
Symptoms: The first type starts from the fin edge and extends inward, the second type starts from the central part of the fin and spreads in all directions, the affected area turns white, and eventually falls off.
Prevention and treatment: Once detected, the fish must be isolated and treated with antibiotics or drugs like acriflavine.
2. Bacterial gill disease
Symptoms: Initially, the fish loses its appetite, often stays under the water surface and breathes rapidly. If the edge of the gill cover is lifted, white damaged gill filaments can be seen.
Prevention and treatment: The treatment method and drugs for this disease are the same as for bacterial tail and fin rot, but salt should be added to the water (two grams of salt per 100 liters of water).
3. Scale standing disease
Symptoms: Most of the scales of the affected fish will stand up almost entirely. If the fish's body surface is rubbed, the already loose scales will fall off one by one.
Prevention and treatment: The mortality rate of scale standing disease is high. Early detection can be treated with antibiotics, such as American sterile spirit and AZ00 bacterial agent.
4. Red spot disease
Symptoms: Obvious red spots appear on the body side and abdomen.
Prevention and treatment: Immediate water change can cure the disease without medication. For severely ill fish, they should be isolated and treated with antibiotics.
5. Fungal disease
Symptoms: The affected area forms a grayish-white fluffy covering, initially round, later irregular plaques, and in severe cases, the skin is damaged and the muscle is exposed.
Prevention and treatment: The affected fish pond should be treated with a mixture of 0.04% salt and 0.04% baking soda. Parent fish can be treated with 4% spirit solution on the affected area, and fish eggs can be immersed in 4% formalin for 2-3 minutes.
