Common Causes of Broken Arowana Tail
1. Arowana is frightened
Arowana is emotionally nervous, and the fright is mostly caused by environmental changes. After being frightened, it is easy to bump around, resulting in a broken tail. Therefore, in the process of raising arowana, in addition to maintaining good water quality, it is also necessary to maintain a quiet and stable breeding environment for arowana; pet owners should not arbitrarily change the background or landscaping of the fish tank
and the decoration in the tank to prevent the formation of dragon fish. Emotional tension or distrust of people. In addition, pet owners can also have some docile friends who are suitable for mixing with arowana in the aquarium, so as to enhance the arowana’s sense of security and weaken its nervousness. At the same time, it can also reduce the arowana lying in the tank and dropping its tail, etc. phenomenon occurs.
Second, suppressed in the process of polyculture
Because of the strong territorial awareness of arowana, they will compete for competition in the case of polyculture. The phenomenon of fighting may cause some dragon fish to dock their tails in the process. In addition, during the day or when the light is strong, dragon fish are more likely to fight for territory, and at night, this phenomenon will be reduced. However, it is best not to mix multiple arowanas, so as not to get injured from fighting each other.
3. Improper feeding method
When feeding, if the owner always throws the food into it, it will cause the food to sink. Entering the bottom of the tank, the arowana often needs to bend its head down and swim to the bottom of the tank to find food. Over time, it is easy to cause the arowana to break its tail. The owner should choose bait for the dragon fish that can float on the water. It is better for the arowana to ensure that the arowana eats the bait before the food sinks to the bottom of the tank.
Fourth, the water outlet in the fish tank is improperly designed
If there is water flowing downward in the fish tank, there may even be water directly from the water pump outlet from the top Smashing down, the tail of the dragon fish is often subjected to downward pressure after passing through this place, which will also lead to the broken tail of the dragon fish over time. Therefore, it is necessary for the owner to choose a suitable aquarium for the dragon fish, and install the filter reasonably to avoid this situation.
