Causes of dragon fish jumping into the tank
1. Water quality problems
Generally speaking, after long-term evolution, dragon fish have a relatively strong ability to adapt to the environment, and the requirements for water quality are not particularly strict. However, if the water quality deteriorates to a certain extent, making the arowana feel uncomfortable, their desire to survive will force them to leave this environment, resulting in the behavior of jumping into the tank.
2. Want to prey on insects
Arowana belongs to the upper layer of fish. They like to wander on the upper layer of the water surface, and take the opportunity to jump out of the water surface to prey on the prey that flies over the water surface through its powerful explosive force. Especially in summer, there are many mosquitoes. If the insect tank is above the tank and the sealing of the tank cover is not good, it is easy to tempt the arowana to jump into the tank.
3. There is water dripping in the fish tank
When the water dripping phenomenon occurs in the breeding environment of the dragon fish, such as Lajin dripping water, it may also cause the dragon fish to jump into the tank. Because the dragon fish will mistake it for food and jump up to catch or hit the post. Pay attention to controlling the water level. If the water level is too close to the upper Lajin, it may cause a lot of damage to the arowana in addition to easily causing the arowana to jump out of the tank. Most arowanas maintain the living habit of love to jump and jump, and often a little influence from the external environment can easily cause them to jump and jump, and Lajin is very likely to hurt the arowana.
It is suggested that if you do not use a bottom filter tank to raise arowana, it is best to lower the water level as much as possible, and keep the distance between the water surface and Lajin at least 15~20 cm, which can reduce the chance of the arowana jumping into the tank and getting injured. .
4. Jumping out of the tank because of being frightened
The nerve of the dragon fish is extremely sensitive, and the dragon fish is quiet at night The resting time is the time when it is most sensitive and easily frightened. It may be scared by the owner suddenly turning on the light; or the light suddenly illuminates the fish tank at night; or the other fish mixed in the fish tank are too moving, etc. It may cause the arowana to jump out of the tank because of fright.
In this case, it is recommended that the pet owner install a small night light on the fish tank, which can alleviate the arowana’s timidity and fear of the dark, and a slight light also helps the arowana to observe everything in the tank , will not be easily frightened, and will not affect their rest due to too bright light.
