How to keep Arowana in good shape
1. Encourage it to exercise properly
In order to keep the dragon fish in proper motion, the best way is to install a surfing pump in the fish tank
. Note that the wattage of the surfing pump should be consistent with the volume of the dragon fish and the size of the fish tank. The number should not be too large or too low, as long as the dragon fish likes to swim against the waves. In addition, the height of the water pump should be suitable. Too high or too low will not work. If it is too high, it will easily blow the whiskers of the dragon fish downward, and if it is too low, it will easily blow the dragon fish upward. It is not good for health, so it is best to keep the distance between the water outlet of the pump and the water surface 1.5 times the height of the dragon fish. If the arowana raised is relatively small, you only need to place a gas head in the fish tank to let the arowana live in flowing water, otherwise the arowana will just lie on the bottom of the tank, lack of exercise, which is not good for its health. In addition, you can also put some other fish suitable for polyculture with it that can promote the movement of the arowana, and the size of the fish is preferably about half the length of the arowana, so as not to make the arowana feel threatened.
2. Appropriate rearing space
The size of the fish tank should be about 4 times the volume of the arowana . For 30~40cm arowana, the height of the fish tank should be more than 1.5 meters, and the width of the fish tank must be longer than the body of the arowana, so that the arowana can turn around at will, so if the body length of the arowana is 30~40cm For dragon fish, the width of the fish tank should be more than 50cm, otherwise the dragon fish may have the risk of hunchback. In addition, the water depth should be above 40cm. If it is a small fish, it can be lowered appropriately, but pay attention to keeping the water depth not less than 30cm, because the dragon fish often do some strenuous exercise at night, even jumping into the tank, so it is necessary to keep the water surface close to the water. The distance of the cylinder head is more than 15cm.
3. Reasonable feeding
Many people who raise arowana are eager to raise the arowana, and some owners think that the way the arowana eats is very interesting, so they are unrestrained Feed them, but it is easy to cause the accumulation of fat in the dragon fish, resulting in obesity. Especially when the amount of exercise is small and the metabolism is slow, the chances of the arowana getting fat are greater, and it may even affect the flexibility of the arowana, causing it to lose its ornamental value. Raising arowana is a thing that can exercise the patience of the owner, especially the breeding of red or golden dragons, which requires the owner to be more patient, and should not be eager for success. Generally, when the arowana is about 20cm long, it eats the most and grows the fastest, but when the arowana is more than 30cm long, its growth rate will gradually slow down, even if it eats a lot. In addition, it is also necessary to maintain the nutritional balance of the arowana bait, maintain the diversification of the arowana feed, and supplement the various nutrients required by the arowana in an appropriate amount.
