1. Reasons for the dragon fish lying in the tank
1. The environment outside the tank changes
Arowana is very sensitive to changes in the feeding environment and is easily frightened by the changes around it. Therefore, when raising arowana, it is necessary to avoid noise or changes around the aquarium as much as possible. 2. Water quality impact
A large number of operations such as replacing the water in the aquarium or cleaning the filter material in large quantities will cause pollution in the aquarium. Factors such as the pH value and temperature of the water quality have changed, resulting in the phenomenon of arowana lying in the tank. Therefore, in the process of raising arowana, it is necessary to avoid a large number of water changes, and pay attention to ensure that the pH value and temperature of the water in the fish tank
are stable.
3. Arowana is sick
Arowana lying in the tank may be an omen of illness. In this case, it is necessary to change the water, heat up, add salt and other treatments to deal with it. In addition to the phenomenon of the arowana lying in the tank, it is also necessary to observe the changes of the arowana in the aquarium, and to detect and respond to the abnormality of the arowana in time.
4. The environment in the tank changes
The owner should not underestimate the sensitivity of the dragon fish to changes, even if the decoration in the tank changes slightly or adds new additions to the tank Some small fish may also cause the dragon fish to lie in the tank; or the water flow in the fish tank may undergo subtle changes, which may cause the phenomenon of the dragon fish lying in the tank. To this end, the owner needs to try to avoid changes in the environment in the fish tank.
2. Reasons for dragon fish jumping into the tank
1. Poor water quality . Poor water quality is the most common cause of dragon fish jumping into the tank. If arowana jumping into the tank is found, the owner needs to consider whether the water quality in the fish tank is too poor. Because dragon fish will feel uncomfortable when living in an environment with poor water quality, and then choose to jump away from the tank.
2. Catch prey. If a transparent tank cover is used on the top of the fish tank, the dragon fish may want to jump out of the water to catch the prey when it sees flying insects passing by. This is an instinct of the dragon fish.
3. Lajin dripping. If Lajin drips water, in this case, the dragon fish may mistake the dripping water for food and jump up to catch it, thus causing the dragon fish to jump into the tank.
Third, how to prevent dragon fish from lying in the tank or jumping in the tank
1 , Keep water quality stable. Avoid changing a large amount of water, just change a quarter at a time, and pay attention to the speed of changing the water should not be too fast; do not clean the aging filter material in large quantities, but clean it in batches, so as not to damage the nitrification system and cause the water quality to be unstable.
2. Keep the breeding environment of dragon fish relatively stable. Avoid abnormal noises near the aquarium or suddenly change the surrounding scenery; try not to change the devices in the tank after the arowana enters the tank. Keeping the breeding environment relatively stable is helpful for stabilizing the mood of the arowana and promoting the appetite of the arowana.
3. Symptomatic treatment according to specific conditions. If the arowana appears to be lying in the tank due to illness, the owner needs to find out the specific disease of the arowana and treat it symptomatically to solve the phenomenon of lying in the tank from the root cause.
