How to raise red arowana?
Precautions for raising red dragons
It is an indisputable fact that the pH value of raising red dragons is low, and there are many ways to do it. Such as adding CO2, changing water, adding and lowering PH value, etc. However, it is not recommended to add any external additives. If you want to add it, just add black water or terminalia leaves. These are physical effects and will not cause chemical effects. They are the safest, cheapest and simplest. (Note: Adding personal opinions, which are different from the relevant information) However, you can also control the water quality in a simpler way, that is, changing the water. For example, if I change the water, a fish tank with a size of 2*0.7*0.55 will have one red fish. For dragon and two tank fish, I sometimes change them for a quarter a week or once every two weeks, depending on my mood. Sometimes it takes ten days, sometimes it takes nine days. It also depends on the length of time to determine the amount of water change. Summarizing my own experience, I said that the time and amount of water change are the same. For an arowana, two 2*0.6*0.6 tanks are best. Change the water once a week, and change one-quarter of the total water volume. For a 1.5*0.6*0.6 tank, change it every ten days. Change the water volume by one-quarter, but you should also pay attention to the endurance of your filtration system. In this regard, you have to sum up your own experience based on your own situation. It is difficult to explain in general, as long as you feel that your method makes the fish redder and the body is fine, it is the most correct method.
If you want to raise red dragons, it is a good way to use low temperature. Personally, I feel that low temperature can help the red pigment condense. Here’s my personal approach (taking Guangzhou as an example): I usually don’t cool down in summer, and I don’t care if the water temperature doesn’t exceed 30 degrees. If it's too hot, just add a fan on the water surface, but it's best to add a small fan in summer, preferably below 30 degrees. Don’t be too lazy like me and often come home to see the temperature exceed 30 degrees. (Ha...but luckily the fish is fine) In winter, it is best to use two temperature rods to control it at around 28 degrees. Do not go below 26 degrees, do not exceed 33 degrees, and it is okay if you can control around 30 degrees. No big deal. Adjust a heating rod to 28 degrees. Adjust the other one to 30 degrees. This is the best way to control it (note: the above is a personal opinion, which is different from the information). When changing the water in winter, if you cannot ensure that the temperature of the newly added water is consistent with that of the fish tank, change it over multiple days, one-sixth or less a day. Change the water several times so that the water temperature does not fluctuate too much and has a great impact on the fish. If you use tap water directly, slowly pour it into the fish tank.
I won’t go into details about the main feeding species. Let me talk about my personal views and methods: For red dragons, feeding shrimp is an indisputable fact, but for the red dragons I raise, basically I always buy shrimps and freeze them before feeding them. However, except for shrimps, I freeze everything else and take them out when I feed them. This way, the food will not contain viruses or bacteria and the fish will not be easily infected. I also I'm very lazy. I feed whenever I want. I don't want to feed for several days or even once for a week or two. However, this is for adult fish. For small fish and medium fish, it is recommended to feed once a day. The amount of feeding depends on each fish. Decide. When the fish reaches adulthood, it will be easier to handle. The fish will not starve to death but will die of fullness. When I posted this document today, I have not fed the fish for a week. It is better for the fish to be hungry. First of all, the fish will be in good spirits, swim more, and will not want to move when it is full. And I feel bad mentally. And from another perspective, fish that are hungrier will be redder in terms of red dragons, which can also be said from the body shape. If the fish is fat and the red pigment is spread out, it will not be very red if it is not concentrated. If it is thin and the red pigment is not spread and the red pigment is not concentrated, it will be redder. (Note: Personally, I think red dragons mainly eat shrimps. You can feed them something else when it’s convenient or you like it. If you feed shrimps for too long, you can also eat them with something else.)
First of all, let’s talk about the fact that Arowana is nocturnal in nature and hides in darker places during the day. And in nature, fish can only see the light from above, and everything is dark. Therefore, there is no phenomenon of arowana losing its eyes in nature. Why do fish kept in fish tanks lose their eyes easily? It is difficult to answer this question. From my personal point of view, the main reasons are divided into several issues. One: transparency around the fish tank. Two: light time and intensity. Three: low light in the water level of the fish tank. Four: genes.
Why do you spend so much time talking about this? The main reason is that the red dragons I raise mainly focus on raising red dragons, and there will be varying degrees of problems due to lighting and fish tank size issues (which will be mentioned later). It is eye-catching and needs the attention of the majority of fans.
I don’t dare to guarantee that you will lose your eyes, but don’t come to me to criticize me after you lose your eyes, haha~~~~
(Note: The following is a personal opinion, which is different from the information) I will personally describe Red Dragon In terms of lighting for raising red fish, I mainly use underwater lights. I put underwater lights on both sides of the fish tank. I also put underwater lights as long as the fish tank is long to avoid blind spots. And I... >>
How to raise red arowana from a young age
1. Environment:
Red dragon follows the environment to change his hair color, which is also the so-called environmental protection color.
1. Fish tank
In the test, the redness of the black tank is redder, the redness of the blue tank is brighter, and the redness of the white tank and the transparent tank is lighter.
2. The location of the fish tank display
Next to the moving lines where people often walk around, the arowana is more unstable, which affects the hair color; in the corners of the secluded area, in the basement, the arowana is more stable, and the hair color is affected. Excellent color.
3. Raising fish in fish tanks
Breeding at too high a density creates more sources of pollution and makes it difficult to maintain water quality. It is easy to cause scale decay (especially when mixed with stingrays) ) The hair color of monoculture is more stable than that of polyculture. Because it involves the strength and weakness of the fish. The fish in polyculture should not be larger and stronger than the arowana.
2. Lighting:
< p> Arowana relies on light for coloring. It is impossible to color without light. When everyone is obsessed with pursuing the thickly colored arowanas with full gill covers in magazines, it can be seen that these arowanas are kept in an environment with sufficient light for coloring. The only way to pursue thick hair color is to give it enough light. The test light is the fastest for coloring, but be careful not to lose your eyesight. When the arowana has a swimming phenomenon, adjust the position of the light source as soon as possible. (Taiwan is the only one in the world. Mainland China attaches great importance to eye-catching. In the production areas and Southeast Asian arowana importing countries such as Japan, South Korea, and other Southeast Asian arowana importing countries, what they care about is color, size, and posture. An excellent arowana with good body shape and thick hair color is extremely important. Precious and high-priced, the flaws cannot hide the flaws. Of course, a flawless and red sub-adult fish is very rare and precious, but there are only a few that can achieve this performance. )Lamp selection. , judging from personal and origin, Xuguang plant lamps are still widely used by the public.
3. Water:
Stable water quality. Small PH shock. Low conductivity. Below 300. It can keep the color of the arowana’s hair and maintain good water quality. And it is necessary to have a sound nitrification filtration system. A sound and powerful nitrification system can reduce the time of water change. Reducing the time of water change can reduce the PH shock affected by each water change. I want to improve the nitrification system as soon as possible. The bottom sand is The fastest way. But the bottom sand must be cleaned regularly. Although there are many alternatives to the filter material, it does not have to be a high unit price to be useful. But when you cannot cultivate sufficient nitrifying bacteria, please resort to high-quality filter media. Unit-priced filter media and commercially available digestive bacteria can allow you to quickly maintain stable water quality in the fish tank. When the fish tank ecology gradually becomes balanced and you have a certain understanding of water quality, you can slowly replace it or find other alternatives. .Give fish good water quality just like people need clean air.
How to judge good water quality? The water looks very clear and bright. There are no small suspended matter or bubbles in the water. There is no oil stain on the water surface. Bubbles hit the water surface. Instantly breaks apart. No bubbles accumulate.
1. Water temperature:
Keep the water temperature at +/-2 degrees to avoid violent vibrations. Keep the temperature below 20CM at 30~31℃ to promote new metabolism. Small dragons are more likely to erect their scales, while large dragons can tolerate a temperature of about 28 degrees. It has been tested that the hair color of Dalong is optimal at 25 degrees. But it is extremely easy to get infected with saprolegnia. Under the premise, the wattage of the heating rod must be sufficient to prevent the temperature from dropping rapidly and being too late to heat up. Arowana can survive at temperatures between 18 and 35 degrees Celsius, but rapid temperature shocks are very dangerous. High temperature to low temperature is acceptable, low temperature to high temperature will cause sudden death.
2. Black water:
Black water is available in the market. There are many brands and the ingredients are unknown. You need to choose carefully. It is safer to choose a major foreign brand. Black water can be added or not. The time of release is also very important. According to experiments, not every red dragon with hair color is suitable for black water. The purpose of black water is to stabilize the arowana and create the water quality and color of the native place. After adding good black water It does not affect the transparency of the water. It changes the color of the water but remains transparent. There are no impurities or bubbles on the water surface and it will not fade overnight.
When does black water need to be added?
Fading during long-distance transportation. When the color fades due to illness, when it is necessary to speed up the color recovery, when the young dragon is in urgent need.
The mentality you should have when raising an arowana:
An arowana has a lifespan of 10 years without human negligence. ~15 years. The real beauty of arowana is at the 8-year-old adult stage with full hair color. Thick hair color and a huge body size of more than 60cm. This will be very shocking. We have learned from previous books and experienced players. Isn’t that what it’s like to see a shocked individual? It’s a pity that today’s arowana enthusiasts have no patience and care. They only pursue high quality and high unit price, but they ignore care and patience. In one or two years, they will ask for regular service. Red (a red dragon within 8 years cannot be true red. Arowana accumulates color over time. The thicker the accumulated color layer is if the time is enough, it will become true red) ~!~
Raising high quality Before raising arowana, you should consider whether you can effectively control the above three points: environment, lighting, water, and patience! In fact, no matter what kind of fish we raise, we should have a correct way to treat fish, that is, you should Enough patience!...>>
How to raise red arowana, the feng shui effect of red arowana
The feng shui significance of red arowana.
Because the red arowana resembles a dragon, it is regarded as the incarnation of the dragon. The red arowana has the feng shui effects of holding down the house, controlling evil, and bringing wealth.
Among Thai people, red arowanas are raised and worshiped to pray for the birth of children.
In Indonesia, red arowana can avoid the disaster of losing money, break bad feng shui, etc.
The selection and placement of two fish tanks.
The fish tank only needs to be a quarter of the width of the living room. The shape of the fish tank should be square (except in special circumstances). A family fish tank can be placed at the door to ward off evil spirits; it can also be placed in the living room, for a prosperous career; it can also be placed in the dining room, for family harmony; but the fish tank should not be placed in the bedroom, as there is a term in Feng Shui , is called "Lin head water". If you are affected by "Lin head water" for a long time, it will cause easy illness, mental decline and other effects. But for "water on the head" to become qi, the head must be very close to the fish tank, that is, only someone sitting next to it will suffer from "water on the head." Therefore, you can keep the fish tank at least 1 meter away from the sofa to avoid "shower water".
The number of three fish
According to the principles of the Eight Diagrams of the Book of Changes, the number of fish is 3, 6, 7, 9, 13, 17, 18, 19, and 21.
According to the "River Map" of traditional Feng Shui - white water can bring wealth.
Two - Two black soils overcome water, which is bad for wealth.
Three - Three green trees release water, which is bad for wealth.
Four green trees - four green trees, although they release water, the four green trees are Wenqu stars, which are considered auspicious.
Five rules - five loess soils overcome water, which is bad for wealth.
Six pieces - six platinums generate water, which is good for wealth.
Qi Tiao - Qi Chi Jin generates water. Although it is an evil star, it has the feeling of mutual support and is considered auspicious.
Batiao - Babai soil overcomes water, but Babai is the left auxiliary star and the auspicious star.
Nine pillars - nine purple fires, but the right star is the auspicious star, which can bring wealth.
For more than ten items, round numbers are excluded. For example, twenty items are divided into two items, fifteen items are divided into five items.
It varies according to the individual’s zodiac sign.
Rat, Pig: 1 or 6
Snake, horse: 2 or 7
Monkey, chicken: 4 or 9 or 5
Dragon, dog, cow, sheep: 5, 10, 4, 9
How to raise red dragons
Plural breeding and polyculture
Arowana is a fish with a very violent temperament. In the case of breeding, 2 to 3 tails will fight non-stop.
Once at a disadvantage, the weakest one may be killed, so raising it alone is the safest way.
However, if there
several arowanas swimming in a large fish tank, it is a very charming sight. If everything goes well, the pairing may be successful.
I once let the ten tails swim in a medley and successfully matched a pair.
Although it is plural breeding (raising more than two arowanas), sometimes 3 fish will not quarrel, and sometimes 5 fish will quarrel non-stop; although some people say 10 fish There will definitely be no arguments, but it should not be taken lightly. So it also depends on the ratio of fish to tank size. Assuming they are about 20 cm fish, if you put 5 of them in a 60 cm fish tank
, there will be more or less scratches, but it doesn't matter; if you change it to a 90 cm fish tank, most of them< /p>
There will be heated arguments.
In the end, some fish scales peeled off and some fish fins were missing. Because the boss who consolidated the territory appeared, in order to prevent
other fish from entering his sphere of influence, he started fighting. Instead, the small space of the 60 cm fish tank was wasted
their energy without getting into a serious fight. For those who intend to raise multiples, please remember the relationship between the number
and the size of the fish, and you will be able to proceed smoothly. In addition, if more than two fish are put in, even if they start to fight
, the owner is asked to be patient for a while, and they will naturally reconcile. As for how much quarrels can be tolerated, it depends on the owner's judgment.
I once put 20 individuals of 40-60 cm into a 180*60*60cm fish tank
for breeding. This fish tank has always been overcrowded with fish, and there are small disputes from time to time. Most of the fish
often have a little bit of color hanging on them. Therefore, if the owner cannot bear the loss of arowana and wants to keep it in an uninjured state, he can only raise it alone
.
Let’s talk about the mixed culture with other fish species! Each arowana has a different personality, some are docile and some are rude. The fish species suitable for polyculture are probably large fish such as rocket, duckbill, Thai tiger, and flying phoenix. These fish are unexpectedly suitable for polyculture with arowana. Of course, my suggestion is to breed a little more. Facing a dragon fish, 1-2 fish of different species are very dangerous. Even if everything goes well for two or three days, you cannot ignore it, because
it may happen another day. At first glance, other fish species may have been badly bitten.
In the past, I put a 55-centimeter arowana and a nearly 1-meter walrus together, and the next day the 1-meter walrus fish was
bitten all over its body. I personally think that the Arowana is invincible and the most powerful fish. Remember to observe for a while after medley swimming.
Fish tank size
Regarding the size of the fish tank, arowana is a large fish, and wild individuals can reach 1 meter. In the past, I saw an 80-centimeter orange-red dragon in an aquarium in Taiwan. There is only one fish in the 300*100*60cm fish tank.
I thought it was really huge, and I really wanted to take a look at the 1-meter-long arowana.

Fish tank size
Regarding the size of the fish tank, arowana is a large fish, and wild individuals can reach 1 meter. In the past, I saw an 80cm orange-red dragon in an aquarium in Taiwan. There is only one fish in the 300*100*60cm fish tank.
I thought it was really huge, and I really wanted to take a look at the 1-meter-long arowana.
Closer to home, it is enough to raise 15-20 cm juvenile fish in a commercially available 60 cm fish tank. As long as the depth of the fish tank exceeds the body length, there is no doubt. Once the body length reaches 30 cm, a fish tank of at least 90
*45*45cm must be prepared. However, soon after two years of the 90-centimeter fish tank, the body length of some arowanas will exceed 50 centimeters, and a fish tank with a depth of 60 centimeters will be needed. Moreover, a fish tank with a length of 120 cm is a bit awkward for the fish.
If possible, it is best to prepare a fish tank with a size of 150 cm.
Why must the depth of the fish tank exceed the body length of the fish? Because a fish tank that is longer and narrower than a small fish will bring a lot of trouble
, the most common problem is gill opening. This phenomenon often occurs when the cause of gill turning is stress, as well as when water quality changes drastically or deteriorates. However, the most common cases of gill turning occur when fish live in a small fish tank for a long time.
The fish body cannot easily rotate, causing psychological stress. The fish tendons also become bent and shortened due to friction with the glass. The tail fin was also damaged from
friction. No matter how beautiful the fish's body and hair color is, there will be some flaws in its body shape, which will greatly reduce the value of the arowana.
In short, the bigger the fish tank, the better. I believe this will allow you to see the energetic swimming posture of the arowana.
About water quality
Arowana can live in a wide range of areas from weakly acidic to weakly alkaline. However, when you put the purchased arowana into your own fish tank, what if... >>
Feeding and food for red arowana?
Red Arowana is a carnivorous animal. Frogs, loaches, crickets, goldfish, grasshoppers, shrimps, etc. can all be used as feed for Arowana. We all know that feeding red arrows or shrimps will play a certain role in increasing the color of red dragons, because the bodies of red arrows and shrimps contain red pigment.
However, in the stages of crayfish and sub-adult dragons, it is best to abandon (or use less) food rich in astaxanthin and try to feed it with high-protein food (frogs, small fish, mealworms), so that the fish will grow longer. It is fast and will not induce the growth of red hair color. The hair color period of red dragons is very long. Generally speaking, it takes five years for Jackie Chan's body color to become more stable.
Other ways to raise red arowana:
Water quality. Generally speaking, owners will deliberately adjust the water quality to pH 6.5, which is suitable for the water quality of the Arowana's native place. However, Arowana is an easy fish to raise, as long as the pH does not fluctuate too much, it is between 6 and 8. The fish can live well. But the problem is that weakly acidic soft water will help the red dragon's hair color. The stronger the hair color, the more serious the situation will be. Therefore, you can choose hard water with pH 8.0 to raise arowana. Water with higher pH and hardness will help the development of blue background, so it will naturally help the development of blue background and suppress red hair color. There will be a thin frame performance.
Lighting. When raising red arowana, some people choose to use plant lamps or sun lamps to attract color, but this method of attracting color can make fish without a thick frame redder. To cultivate fish with thin frames, it is necessary to abandon the use of sun lamps or plant lamps in the dragon fish and sub-adult stages, and use blue lamp tubes as lures to deepen the background color of the red dragon; wait until the background color of the fish is determined (the age of the fish is about One and a half to two years old) will start to attract red colors (food and lights), so that red will become red and blue will become blue. It is best to choose daylight for red arowana, because long-term use of lights will darken the back of the red arowana.
How does the red arowana turn red?
To keep the red arowana beautiful and red, the following three feeding methods are very important.
1. Environment:
The red dragon changes its hair color according to the environment, which is also the so-called environmental protection color.
1. Fish tank: It has been tested that the redness of the black tank is redder, the redness of the blue tank is brighter, and the redness of the white tank and the transparent tank is lighter.
2. The location of the fish tank: next to the moving lines where people often walk around, the arowana is more unstable, which affects the hair color; in the corner of the secluded area, in the basement, the arowana is more stable, and the hair color is excellent.
3. Polyculture of fish in fish tanks: Breeding at too high a density creates more sources of pollution and makes it difficult to maintain water quality. It is easy to cause scale decay (especially when mixed with stingrays). The hair color is more stable when raised alone than when raised in polyculture. Because it involves the strength and weakness of fish, it is not advisable to raise fish in polycultures that are larger and stronger than arowana.
2. Lighting:
Arowana relies on light for coloring. It is impossible to color without light. When everyone is obsessed with pursuing the thickly colored arowanas with full gill covers in magazines, it can be seen that these arowanas are kept in an environment with sufficient light for coloring. The only way to pursue thick hair color is to give it enough light. The test light is the fastest for coloring, but be careful not to lose your eyesight. When the arowana has a swimming phenomenon, adjust the position of the light source as soon as possible. (
Taiwan is the only country in the world. Mainland China attaches great importance to eye-catching. In the production areas and Southeast Asian arowana importing countries such as Japan, South Korea and other Southeast Asian arowana importing countries, what they care about
is the color, size, and posture. Arowanas with excellent tails, good body shape and thick hair are extremely rare and highly valued. Arowanas that are out of sight are very rare and valuable. But how many can achieve this performance
) The choice of lamp depends on the individual and the place of production. Xuguang plant lamps are still popular.
3. Water:
Stable water quality. A small pH shock and a low conductivity below 300 can make the color of the dragon fish continue to change. To maintain good water quality, a sound nitrification filtration system is required. A sound and powerful nitrification system will reduce the time required for water changes and reduce the cost of water changes. The timeliness of water changes can reduce the pH shock caused by each water change. If you want to improve the nitrification system as soon as possible, laying the bottom sand is the fastest way, but the bottom sand must be cleaned regularly. Although there are many alternatives to the filter material. It doesn’t have to be something with a high unit price to be useful. But when sufficient nitrifying bacteria cannot be cultivated, please resort to high unit price filter media and commercially available digestive bacteria. It can help quickly maintain the stable water quality of the fish tank. When the fish tank ecology gradually becomes balanced and you have a certain understanding of the water quality, you can slowly replace it or find other alternatives. Giving fish good water quality is just like people need clean air.
How long should it take to change the water when raising red arowana?
1. The water body should be large enough. The tank should be more than 1.2 meters, of course, the bigger the better.
2. Stable water quality. You must first raise the water and use solid-skinned fish to enter the tank, such as green dragon or star dragon. After the tank-breaking fish has been kept stably in the tank for one month (it must be disease-free), you can consider adding the red dragon. If you have Terminalia leaves, you can use one piece per 100L of water and place it at the filter outlet.
3. Quarantine and isolate new fish before entering the tank. Prepare a quarantine tank. The size of the quarantine tank is based on the size of the red dragon. For example, for a 25CM dragon, you can use a tank with about 60L of water, add physical filtration, and oxygenation equipment (oxygenation pump). After the red dragon comes back, it must be soaked in water first, that is, soak in the bag for 30 minutes, then add 1/3 of the water into the bag, once every 30 minutes, 3 times. Then enter the quarantine tank. Observe for any obvious symptoms in the first 2 days. If there are no obvious symptoms, perform routine insecticide and sterilization. After 4 weeks, when the quarantine is over, you can enter the breeding tank and raise them.
4. Water temperature and quality. The appropriate water temperature is 23-28 degrees. Red dragons like weakly acidic water.
5. Bait. It is best to have artificial compound feed. If not, you can also use ground beetles and centipedes. Or use quick-frozen shrimp (cut off the shrimp spines).
6. Daily management. Feeding of bait should be qualitative, quantitative and timed. Don't be too full. Change 1/3 of the new water every week.
7. Others. It is best to buy two heating rods. Even if one of them is broken, the other one can barely support it and prevent the water temperature from dropping too quickly. The filtration must be sufficient, because red dragons are large fish that can eat and poop, and powerful filtration can maintain water quality. Avoid eating live small fish, as small fish may carry germs that can easily cause the arowana to become sick.
What should you pay attention to when raising red arowana?
There are many things to pay attention to. For example, when raising young fish in a black tank, you must not be hungry, otherwise it will be easy to mouth. The tank must be large enough. The minimum width is 1.8 meters and 70 meters. The bigger the height is 65 and above, the better. The background needs black light, which is an ordinary LED red light. It cannot be mixed with other fish that are larger than it. In terms of feeding, it is mainly frozen river shrimp. Remove the head and tail. Once it grows up, it will not be so troublesome to adapt. PH value 4.5-8 is soft water but the water quality should be clear
