Arowana is a large tropical ornamental fish, which is deeply loved by people because of its unique shape and beautiful swimming posture. However, because of its large fish body, it is easy to damage aquatic plants in breeding, so it is difficult to grow aquatic plants in the dragon fish tank, especially for beginners, and it is even more difficult to manage.
In fact, the dragon fish tank can grow aquatic plants. The condition is that the fish tank should be large and the species of aquatic plants should be strong. The following methods can be used for reference.
1. Post-position aquatic plant method: put a piece of glass parallel to the front in a large fish tank, the height of which is slightly lower than the horizontal plane, and divide the tank into two parts, where arowana is raised in front and aquatic plants are planted in the back (the width is about 10 ~ 15 cm).
2. Method of placing aquatic plants on the side: In a long fish tank, a piece of glass is still used to separate the fish tank from the left and right, with arowana on the big side and grass on the small side.
3. Random grass planting method: Use one or several self-made glass boxes to plant aquatic plants on one side of the tank, and the fish and grass will not be separated.
Attention should also be paid to the operation of the above three methods: in order to facilitate the cleaning of fish tanks, it is best to plant all aquatic plants in their own glass boxes with uniform height (generally 6cm is enough) and can be placed with one or more plants. The species of aquatic plants selected in the first two schemes are not limited, and the aquatic plants selected in the latter scheme must be robust and must be cultivated and rooted for more than half a month, and then moved into the basin. You can't feed with live food.
The author has a vat of arowana. The fish tank is 150cm long, 80cm wide and 50cm deep. In the first method, a place with a width of 15cm is separated by glass to plant grass, and a place with a width of 65cm is left in front to raise fish. In the past three years, the two arowanas have grown to 85cm and are growing well.
Another arowana at home has a fish tank, which is 200cm long, 50cm wide and 50cm deep. In the third method, two rectangular boxes with the size of 35×20×6cm were made of glass in the tank, and a batch of grass was planted, including crown, waterwheel and empty shell, and two rockeries with the height of 20cm and 25cm were put (the edges and corners of rockeries were polished).

Selection of fish tank and equipment in the tank
Arowana is different from other tropical fish. Because of its huge size, the size of the fish tank has a great influence on the growth of arowana. If your arowana is less or less than 35cm, you can temporarily keep it in a smaller fish tank, but I'm afraid it won't last for half a year. At this time, you have to find a bigger space for it. There is no need to raise the dragon fish tank too high. It is suggested that the maximum is 80cm, because it will bring inconvenience to the maintenance of the fish tank. The length can be determined by yourself, mainly considering the limitation of family space, but the minimum can't be less than 1.5 meters. The width of the fish tank must be 60cm, which is also the size chosen by many dragon lovers at home and abroad ... Click to see more >>& gt.

However, when the buyer can't immediately decide whether to buy the desired arowana, he may miss the opportunity and take the lead, and he is annoyed!

Breeding environment of arowana
Breeding environment of arowana
Raising arowana needs weak acidic soft water. Generally, the tap water of rivers is weakly acidic, which is soft water suitable for arowana. But tap water contains chlorine or fluorine, which is harmful to arowana and even leads to death. Therefore, when raising arowana, you must store the water for 1 ~ 2 days or bask in the sun for half a day, so that the dissolved chlorine or fluorine in the water will disappear by itself. Chlorine can be decomposed if very little baking soda is added to water. If tap water, well water and underground mineral water are used, the hardness may be high. One third or half of boiling water or distilled water should be added to reduce the hardness of water. The old water that keeps arowana for a long time in the fish tank will generally become hard water due to evaporation, so it should be softened in time. The easiest way to soften water quality is to boil the water first to remove impurities, or filter it with ion exchange resin filtration equipment ... Click to read more >>& gt.

Anchorage: Parasites about 1 cm long can be found on the diseased fish.

The cause of the disease is that goldfish is used as live bait for a long time, and goldfish brings anchor worms into the water body where arowana is raised. Its control measures: feeding other meat animals as bait instead; Soak fish in 5 ~ 10 ppm potassium permanganate once a day.
