I. Types of Arowana
According to the differences in regional distribution, the Arowana is divided into the following major varieties: 1. Asian Arowana, including Golden Arowana, Red Arowana, Green Arowana, etc.; 2. American Arowana, including Silver Arowana, Black Arowana, etc.; 3. Australian Arowana, including Star Arowana, Pearl Arowana, etc.; 4. African Arowana, such as Nile Arowana. It can be seen that there are many kinds of arowana, but if they are selected as ornamental fish, most of them are golden arowana, red arowana and silver arowana.
The price of arowana is generally high, and raising arowana requires a certain economic capacity. Among them, silver arowana is the cheapest species of ornamental arowana. Adult arowanas are larger in size, and the breeder should choose the appropriate tank size for the arowana so as not to affect its normal growth. It is 1.5 meters long, 0.5 meters wide and 0.7 meters high, which is the minimum space requirement for raising arowana.
2. Precautions for the feeding and management of dragon fish
The dragon fish has high requirements on water quality. The feeding water for arowana needs to meet the following conditions:
1. About water temperature
Arowana mainly lives in tropical and subtropical Southeast Asia, and has high requirements for water temperature, and they feel the most The suitable water temperature is 28~30℃, so you must pay attention to meet this condition when raising dragon fish.
2. About pH
Arowana is more suitable for surviving in weakly acidic water. The pH value of the water is suitable in the range of 6.5~7.5, and the pH value is higher than or lower than this range. It is easy to affect the growth and luster of the dragon fish.
Three, the daily management requirements of dragon fish
Everything in the feeding conditions After preparation, the daily feeding and management of dragon fish has become the top priority in the feeding process, among which feeding and water changing are the most worthy of mention.
1. Precautions for feeding
In fact, live food such as small fish and shrimps that arowana likes to eat, rather than ordinary bait. Foods such as small shrimp and small fish are also very beneficial to the healthy growth of arowana. Secondly, other small creatures such as earthworms, frogs, barley worms can also be used for feeding. For young arowanas, red worms can generally be used for feeding, but breeders should pay attention to well-preserved red worms in summer to prevent deterioration. Feed the dragon fish twice a day, and it is better to feed the dragon fish to 7 points of fullness each time.
2. Precautions for changing water
When raising arowana, the new water used for replacement must be tap water that has been dried, because the tap water directly connected contains chlorine and fluorine elements , these ingredients are not good for the growth of arowana, so it is not allowed to use the tap water just taken out to raise arowana. In addition, pay attention to slow injection every time you change the water, and replace a small amount, you can replace 1/5 of the water every week. In addition, it is necessary to keep the temperature difference between the new water and the old water not more than 2 ℃, so as to avoid the large temperature difference causing discomfort to the arowana.
