How to prevent Arowana from dropping eyes
1. It is caused by improper feeding. When feeding arowana, try to use live food to feed the arowana, and try to keep the food floating in the middle and upper layers of the fish tank
. For example, the owner can use chopsticks to hold the bait to feed the dragon fish. Or you can cover the fish tank with opaque black paper, and then install a white light on the upper part of the fish tank, or place an object on the top of the fish tank to attract the attention of the dragon fish and prevent the dragon fish from looking down.
As for the downward gaze caused by food, the main reason is that the food that the owner feeds to the arowana is not finished, and the food sinks to the bottom of the tank, resulting in the dragon living in the upper waters. The fish had to look down to find food, and over time the arowana developed symptoms of eye loss.
2, due to lighting. When raising dragon fish, most owners will install light tubes around or inside the fish tank to promote the growth of dragon fish and facilitate viewing, especially at night, when there is light, it will be more clear to watch. But this also caused some disadvantages. Although it is more convenient to watch arowana after setting the lights, if the top lights and underwater lights are not placed properly, it will cause the arowana to look down or swim sideways in order to avoid direct light, and it will also cause the arowana to lose its eyes for a long time. .
Therefore, the owner must consider the reasonable arrangement of the lamps when installing the lamps on the fish tank to ensure uniform illumination. Secondly, pay attention that the water level should not be too high. The water level needs to keep a certain distance from the top light. If the water surface is too close to the light, it will be difficult for the light to cover the entire water surface, resulting in unbalanced lighting, which will cause the dragon fish to lose its eyes.
3. External influences: Generally, the placement of the dragon fish tank should be 30-~50 cm on the ground, and the owner should prevent children or pets from frequently walking in front of the fish tank, because there are other items in the fish tank. Shaking around will definitely attract the Arowana’s attention, attracting them to look down, and it will also cause the Arowana to lose its eyes over time.
4. In addition, in order to prevent the dragon fish from looking down, the owner can install some floating objects on the top of the fish tank to attract the attention of the dragon fish, such as a ping pong ball or other Items that float on water. And pay attention to changing the floats every once in a while, so that the arowana loses its curiosity about it.
5. It is best to use a multi-function switch when installing the lamp tube on the water tank, so as to adjust the light source at any time, and better avoid the eye drop phenomenon of the dragon fish.
