How to recover from Arowana eye loss
Arowana congenital eye loss is generally due to its determined by blood. It is difficult to completely recover the eye drop phenomenon of dragon fish caused by this reason, and it will also occur repeatedly after adjustment. Therefore, owners should pay attention to avoid selecting such arowanas when purchasing arowanas.
For the acquired eye loss of dragon fish, you can try the following methods to correct it:
1. Avoid animals or objects that are shorter than the fish tank
walking around the fish tank. In order to facilitate the appreciation of the domineering posture of arowana, a transparent fish tank is generally used to raise arowana. However, this also has some disadvantages, because the attention of the dragon fish is easily attracted by the things moving outside the tank, especially the small pets or children at home often walk around the fish tank, and the dragon fish will form a habit of looking down in the long run. , resulting in eye dropouts. Therefore, it is generally not recommended to let small children or small animals play around the fish tank.
2. Avoid feeding too many foods with high protein content. Many owners are eager to raise arowana in good shape, so they feed the arowana too much high-protein and high-fat food, and then such a feeding method is difficult for the arowana to fully absorb and digest, which in turn leads to excess nutrients in the arowana. At the same time, it also causes the accumulation of fat in the eyes of the arowana to form eyes, so the owner must pay attention to control the feeding amount of this kind of food to avoid the adverse phenomenon caused by the rapid raising of the arowana.
3. Feed the bottom food as little as possible. Arowanas are generally good at jumping out of the water to catch insect bait when they live in their native place. The dragon fish kept in the fish tank can only prey on the bait fed by the owner, but most of the arowana bait will sink quickly after being put into the water, so the dragon fish can only look down and dive for food. It will cause the dragon fish to drop out of eyes. Therefore, in order to try to lose the eyes of the arowana, the owner can use more buoyant bait for feeding, or pay attention to feeding a small amount and many times, so that the arowana can prey immediately after the food enters the water to prevent the bait from sinking to the bottom of the tank.
4. Adjust the water level of the fish tank to an appropriate position. If the water level in the fish tank is too high, the viewing angle of the dragon fish will become smaller, which will cause the dragon fish to look down habitually, and it will also cause the dragon fish to lose its eyes in the long run.
5. Keep the distribution and intensity of light inside and outside the cylinder reasonable. Keeping the light intensity inside and outside the tank moderate and uniform can effectively reduce the impact of strong light or uneven light on the eyes of the arowana, causing eye drop.
6. The owner may wish to place a clean ping pong ball or a plastic bottle with some bait that the arowana likes on the water surface of the fish tank, so as to attract the arowana to look up and prevent the arowana from falling out of sight. However, this method is not a long-term solution, because Arowana loses its appeal when it gets tired of it.
This is the end of our sharing of how to restore the way the dragon fish loses its eyes. I hope this sharing will be helpful to you.
