Fish farming is a good choice for busy people, because fish farming is relatively simple and does not require too much time and energy.
When raising ornamental fish, attention should be paid to physical and chemical indicators such as water quality, water temperature, pH, and dissolved oxygen in the water. Usually, it is also equipped with oxygenation and filtration devices, which are not only expensive, but also troublesome to handle. If you are not careful, it will cause the death of ornamental fish. The ornamental fish introduced below not only have high ornamental value, but are also easy to raise, which can quickly accumulate breeding experience and effectively cultivate the interests and hobbies of breeders.
- Goldfish
Goldfish originated in China and is the most Chinese ornamental fish, also known as golden crucian carp. Goldfish, known as the "quintessence of the country", has auspicious and rich meanings in traditional Chinese culture and is generally loved by people around the world.
Goldfish is a cold-blooded animal with strong adaptability to water temperature. Its body temperature changes with the water temperature. It can survive in water temperatures of 0-39 degrees Celsius and is very easy to breed successfully. Therefore, it is the first choice for aquarium breeding enthusiasts, especially for those who are busy at work, have little leisure time, often travel on business, and are just getting started.
- Pearl fish
Pearl fish is produced in the Malay Peninsula of Asia. The suitable water temperature for breeding is 20℃~30℃. Pearl fish is small and exquisite, delicate and cute. The most distinctive feature is that there are two long and thin "beards" under its head, which makes it look different, like a gentleman in a tuxedo.
Pearl fish is very resistant to low oxygen, and does not need to add special oxygenation facilities, special breeding facilities and conditions, and is very easy to breed.
- Chinese fighting fish
Chinese fighting fish have a strong physique, vigorous energy, aggressive nature, and colorful colors. It is deeply loved by breeders because of its exaggerated streamlined body and innate wild fighting spirit.
Chinese fighting fish is suitable for single breeding. At the beginning, do not feed within 2d~3d, and then feed bloodworms, hamburgers and other feeds in small amounts and multiple times a day. The feeding amount should be eaten within 5min. When raising them alone, you should pay attention to ensuring sufficient water volume. The water body should be filtered frequently and the water should be changed regularly to keep the water clean. At the same time, dark bottom sand should be laid in the fish tank and moss and floating water plants should be planted in moderation. The light should not be too strong.
Chinese fighting fish is also a very easy-to-breed fish. It should be raised with weakly acidic to neutral soft water. The suitable breeding temperature is 25℃~28℃. It can tolerate a low temperature of 3℃ at the lowest. Even in winter, family breeding does not require heating.
- Lampfish
Lampfish is also a very suitable fish species for beginners. Its advantages are bright and bright body color and obvious differences between species. It swims very lively and is cheap. It looks very good if you buy more than a dozen at a time and put them in the fish tank. This is a fish species that swims well in groups. It always scurries around in the fish tank in groups, and occasionally chases and fights. It is very ornamental. Due to the wide variety of species, even if you only raise lampfish species, the visual effect of the fish tank is rich and colorful enough.
Based on the differences in stripes and colors, the tetra can be divided into varieties such as the lotus tetra, red and green tetra, one-browed Taoist, and zebra. Among them, zebrafish are further divided into zebras of different colors, including red, yellow, blue, white, and even fluorescent ones, which look very good whether the lights are on or off. While raising tetras, you can also try to landscape the aquarium, because tetras like to swim among water plants and eat algae to help clean the water. Spread the bottom sand in the fish tank, plant a few water plants, and put in colorful tetras, and a small aquarium world will appear before your eyes.
In daily maintenance, just pay attention to regular water changes. Tetras do not have high requirements for water quality and can survive under normal circumstances. Except for some varieties, most tetras like light, so it is very important to equip them with lighting equipment, which can not only make tetras more active, but also help them to develop color. Pay attention to regular and quantitative feeding, 1 to 2 times a day, and avoid feeding too much. If you can't feed them for a long time, you don't need to worry too much. If there are water plants in the fish tank, they will eat algae for a living and can basically survive for about 10 days and a half a month. Of course, if conditions permit, you should still feed them on time, pay attention to feeding them in small amounts and frequently, and feeding them too much will make them die faster.
- Guppy
Guppy is a small ornamental fish about the same size as a tetra, named after its peacock-like tail. However, it is precisely because of its more flamboyant tail that it is difficult for guppies to live in peace with bettas, and there is a high possibility that they will be chased and bitten by bettas as their own kind. In terms of water quality and temperature requirements, guppies like weakly alkaline water and can survive at 16 degrees Celsius or above. This means that guppies do not have high requirements for water quality, and generally there will be no problem unless there is a large fluctuation in water quality. However, the characteristic of liking weakly alkaline water makes them not very suitable for living in a water plant tank. The humic acid produced by the water plant mud and the algae themselves will reduce the pH value of the water body. You can try to lay some stones in the water to neutralize them.
This characteristic of guppies is opposite to that of the tilapia, which likes aquatic plants and weakly acidic water. Therefore, it is best not to mix the two. Although there is no problem with coexistence, it is just that the most suitable environment for both cannot be achieved at the same time, and the growth of one of them will be suppressed. Another point is that it is best not to mix multiple varieties of guppies, as hybrid breeding problems are more troublesome.
