CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What kind of silver arowana is good?

1. What kind of silver arowana is good?

As for silver arowana, just don't buy inferior ones, don't be greedy for cheapness. When buying, mainly look at the eyes, mouth and body. The eyes should be flat, not down to the bottom of the tank. Sometimes if you don't pay attention, a silver arowana will lose one eye. The mouth should not be higher than the upper jaw, otherwise it will look bad. By the way, look at the beard, it is best to pry it upwards if it is straight, and it doesn't matter if it is flat, but it will look ugly if it is down. The body must be straight, many inferior silver arowana will have a V-shaped waist, which is a little bit when they are young, but it will be much more serious when they grow up, so it is best to choose silver arowana in a large tank, don't go to those checkered shops to buy, because silver arowana cannot be seen clearly without stretching and swimming.

2. How does the silver arowana grow fast and big?

1. The water temperature should be 28-30 degrees. Replace a quarter of the water with new water every three days. This can promote metabolism and help feeding.

2 The water quality must be maintained good. The water filter should be turned on as long as possible. My water filter is turned on 24 hours a day.

3 When feeding, feed him until he is 70% full each time to keep him hungry. Feed him every 4-6 hours.

4. The feed should be diversified to avoid feeding the same food for a long time which will cause nutritional monotony. Small fish and shrimps should be the staple food, and mealworms should be supplemented.

In addition, the size of the arowana is also closely related to the fish tank. The minimum size of the arowana tank is that the length should not be less than 150cm and the width should not be less than 60cm.

As long as the above points are done well, a 20cm silver dragon can grow to about 60cm in one year.

3. Silver Arowana Food

Dragon fish are carnivorous fish. From juvenile to adult, they must be fed with animal bait. It is best to feed them with small active fish. Animal viscera can easily interfere with the digestive system and should not be fed. The artificial compound feed used for feeding is mostly shrimp feed (floating).

Common dragon fish foods on the market include: feed fish, crickets, loaches, centipedes, mealworms, barley worms, cockroaches, dried shrimps, small goldfish, small shrimps, etc. Some of them can also be fed with feed, but feeding dragon fish with mealworms, barley worms and other baits frequently will cause the dragon fish to be partial and picky eaters. At the same time, it is best to feed more floating food to prevent eye drop.

However, many fish lovers do not like to eat dry food. In addition, if the golden arowana wants to have good color, the food should be balanced and not skimpy. Feed more colorful food, such as grass gold, red cardinal, red arrow, etc.
