How to help Arowana hair color
1. Keep the water quality appropriate
Good and stable water quality is the basis for good arowana breeding. However, stable water quality depends either on a strong filtration system or on the breeder to change the water in a timely manner. And even with the assistance of a filtration system, it can only reduce the frequency of water changes to a certain extent, and cannot be completely relied upon. The breeder still needs to pay attention to maintaining the frequency of water changes according to the actual situation, so as to ensure good water quality.
The replacement of new water will help the growth and state of the dragon fish to a certain extent. Once the dragon fish adapts to the new water, its food will be greatly increased, and its hair color will expand accordingly. Therefore, proper water change frequency and good rearing space help to breed high-quality dragon fish. In addition, proper lighting and a good growth rhythm also help to induce arowana to appear thick hair color.
The water quality varies across the country. Generally speaking, it is more appropriate to maintain the frequency of water changes twice a week. However, pay attention to controlling the amount of water exchange, which is determined according to the density of the fish and the amount of feeding. Do not change too much water at one time.
2. Maintain proper lighting and environmental conditions
If the hair color of the red dragon fish is dismal, in addition to In addition to water quality reasons, it is very likely that the environment and lighting are not properly matched. The hair color of arowana mainly depends on the accumulation of pigment on the scales, so it is essential to use light to induce the hair color of arowana. The more suitable ways to lure are: you can use overhead lights, or you can add underwater lights on the front and rear sides of the fish tank
. Among them, the best light in the water is white light, which helps to enhance the background color of the arowana and promote its main color. However, you should always pay attention to observe whether the position of the underwater lights is missing. In addition, after the underwater lights are placed, the growth rate of green algae in the water will also increase.
The breeding environment for dragon fish includes the background color of the aquarium and the water level. The background color of the aquarium where the red dragon fish is raised should be black; if the back dragon fish is raised, it should be white. In addition, you can use the blue tank and the black tank with a white background with lights, so that the effect of the induced dragon fish hair color will also look good.
The water level can affect the effect of the light, and the water is easy to cause uneven illumination of the ceiling light, which is also one of the reasons for the need to add underwater lights, so it is generally recommended to use a large tank to raise arowana, but if the size of the arowana is relatively small, and the water level needs to be lowered as much as possible.
3. Reasonable feeding
Feeding fish and shrimp to young red arowana can play a certain role in hair color, in addition Using barley worms, crickets, etc. as supplementary food for dragon fish can also play a certain role in hair color.
We summarize: water quality, lighting, environmental color, feed and other factors can affect the hair color of dragon fish. will perform well.
