Creating a healthy living environment for large fish is the focus of every aquarium enthusiast and professional breeder.
Choose a Aquarium Big Fish Tanks of the right size. Large fish need plenty of room to swim. Generally speaking, each large fish needs at least 50 gallons of water or more, depending on the type of fish and the adult size. A large enough fish tank can reduce the sense of urgency of the fish and reduce the risk of fighting and disease caused by small space.
Maintaining water quality is crucial. Regularly changing part of the water, changing 10%-20% of the water every week, can prevent the accumulation of harmful substances. Install an efficient filtration system, including mechanical filtration, chemical filtration and biological filtration, which can remove impurities, residual food and fish excrement in the water. At the same time, use a heater to keep the water temperature in the appropriate range according to the needs of the fish, monitor and adjust the pH value and water hardness, and provide stable water quality conditions for the fish.
Providing proper lighting should not be ignored. Different large fish have different light requirements. Some need stronger light to promote growth and color display, while others prefer softer light. Choose suitable lamps and set a reasonable lighting time, generally 8-12 hours is appropriate, to avoid excessive light causing algae overgrowth or fish discomfort.
Large fish need sufficient shelter and activity space. Arranging rocks, driftwood, aquatic plants, etc. in the fish tank can provide them with a place to hide and live, simulate the natural environment, reduce the tension of fish, and also increase the ornamental value of the fish tank.
Reasonable feeding is the key to ensuring the health of fish. Understand the feeding habits of large fish and choose appropriate feed, including pellet feed, live bait or frozen food. Follow the principle of feeding in small amounts and multiple times to avoid overfeeding, which will lead to deterioration of water quality and obesity of fish.
