Food conditions for aquarium fish

Food conditions for aquarium fish
Ornamental fish retain a normal appetite only if the water in which they live is rich in oxygen and the temperature is optimal for this species. It makes no sense to offer them even the most expensive food if their vital processes are reduced due to hypothermia or overheating. No animal will eat well in an environment poisoned by decay products.
Such an environment is created by amateurs out of inexperience, overfeeding their pets. Fish should be given just enough food so that they consume it on the fly. In cases of excess feed, the bloodworm and pipefish burrow into the ground, swollen dry food accumulates at the bottom, where it rots and spoils the water. Worms and crustaceans should be fed to fish only alive, and for bloodworms and pipefish it is good to use floating feeders, which can be made from styrofoam. Thus, the bloodworm and pipefish will enter the water gradually, the fish will pick them up or pull them out through the holes in the feeder. This is much better than then collecting food from the bottom.
Floating feeders are also suitable for dry food. These can be rings made of the same foam. They will not allow the food to spread over the entire surface of the water, and they are simply fished out after a while with a net. This should be done about ten minutes after feeding, so that the food does not have time to get wet and sink to the bottom.
Daphnia, cyclopes and coretras are fed alive, and they float in the water column, they cannot be placed with the water in which they were stored. They must be caught with a net and rinsed under running water. It is necessary to feed this type of food with great care and in small quantities, not forgetting that crustaceans consume too much oxygen.
The best food for fish is a varied diet: give a pipefish once, a bloodworm the next time, and an enhytrea or coretra the third time. Alternating feeds is especially necessary when fish are planning to breed.
It is enough to feed adults once a day. It is advisable to feed the young more often, so that after each feeding, the tummies of the babies are noticeably rounded. It's not enough to give them food, you need to be patient and sit near the aquarium for a while, adding food gradually as the fish eat it.
It is better to feed the fish at the same time and in a certain place of the aquarium. Fish quickly get used to such conditions, which later has an important effect on their saturation. 1Win is one of the best betting sites and the platform covers numerous sports and markets, ensuring something for everyone.
