The golden dragon fish doesn't eat. What's going on? how to solve it?
Low water temperature: Golden Arowana may not eat because the Water temperature is too low, which can raise the water temperature to 24-28 ℃. Poor water quality: it may also be because the Water quality is too poor and the water needs to be changed immediately. Indigestion: it may also be due to indigestion, you can stop feeding first. The food is not to the taste: it may also be because the food is too single, you can try to change the food. Sudden change in the environment: it may also be caused by a sudden change in the environment, and the breeder needs to keep the environment stable.
First, the water temperature is low. 1. The reason: the golden dragon fish do not eat may be because the water temperature is too low, and their requirements for water temperature are relatively high. If the water temperature is too low, it will affect their appetite and activity.
2. Solution: breeders need to slowly raise the water temperature to 24-28 ℃. If possible, it is recommended to install a heating rod for them to keep the water temperature constant.
Second, the water quality is poor. 1. The reason: the golden dragon fish do not eat may also be because the water quality of life is too poor, they have higher requirements for the environment, if the water quality is too poor will also affect their eating.
2. Solution: breeders need to change water immediately at this time to ensure clean water quality. If possible, it is recommended to turn on the circulating filtration system to speed up water purification.
Third, indigestion 1, the reason: the golden dragon fish do not eat may also be due to indigestion, mainly because the food fed is too much or the food is not easy to digest.
2, solution: breeders can stop Feeding first, if the situation of indigestion is more serious, you can give them some probiotics.
Fourth, the food is not to the appetite. 1. The reason: the golden dragon fish may not eat because the food they feed is not to their taste. Although they prefer animal feed, long-term feeding with the same kind of feed will also cause their anorexia.
2. Solution: breeders need to change other foods, or they can give them some favorite foods.
5. Environmental mutation 1. Reason: if the golden dragon fish does not eat, it may also be caused by the sudden change of the environment, such as too much temperature difference or too much water exchange will cause discomfort.
2. Solution: breeders need to adjust the living environment to a comfortable state in time, and ensure that the surrounding environment is quiet, and then feed them after they recover.
What is the reason why the golden arowana doesn't eat and what to do?
Timely change of water: Golden arowana do not eat may be because the water quality is too poor or too old, to give them timely change of water, and install a circulating filtration system. Stop eating and heat up: it is also possible that too much food leads to indigestion. Breeders need to stop eating first, and then raise the water temperature to 26 ℃. In serious cases, they can feed some probiotics. Self-recovery: may also be frightened, breeders need to ensure that the surrounding environment is quiet and stable, waiting for them to recover. I. timely change of water
1. The reason: the reason why the arowana does not eat may be that the water quality of the arowana is too poor or too old, and the water quality will affect the arowana's appetite. Many breeders feel that with filters, they can reduce the frequency of changing water. However, this will lead to the aging of the water quality in the fish tank and affect the normal growth of the arowana.
2. Solution: if it is due to poor water quality, breeders can first change a small amount of water for them, which can be controlled at 1/4 of the total water quantity, and then turn on the circulating filtration system. If it is because the water quality is too old, the breeders can change 1/5 of the water every day for three consecutive days, which can solve the problem of too old water quality.
2. Stop eating and warm up
1, the reason: Golden arowana do not eat too much may lead to their indigestion, usually feed too much food, too much indigestible food, will lead to their indigestion.
2. Solution: if there is overeating or indigestion, the breeder can stop feeding and then raise the water temperature to more than 26 ℃, which can promote their metabolism and stimulate their rapid digestion. If the situation of indigestion is more serious, you can feed some probiotics.
III. Self-recovery
1. Reason: Golden arowana may be frightened if they don't eat. There are many reasons why they are frightened. Sudden violent sounds around them, slapping the fish tank vigorously, and someone suddenly appearing in front of the fish tank will frighten them.
2. Solution: breeders need to install a lid above the fish tank first to prevent them from jumping out of the tank after being frightened. In addition, it is necessary to keep the surrounding environment quiet and wait for the golden dragon fish to recover by itself.
What if the golden arowana doesn't eat?
Question 1: why don't golden arowana eat? The reasons for refusing to eat golden arowana generally have the following situations, please analyze them according to different situations:
1. The water quality is poor or too old
Rejection of food caused by poor water quality occurs in all sizes, generally due to the fact that the water body is too old. Some dragon friends take feces every day and replenish a very small amount of new water. After a period of time, the water body is easy to grow old, causing only fish to refuse to eat. Measuring the parameters in the water is basically normal. Personally, I would suggest that fishers who do this should do a regular (2 or 3 weeks) quantitative change of water, such as 1 bank 4 to 1 bank 5, which is good for the maintenance of the water body and the appetite of the arowana.
Countermeasures: after refusing to eat, keep changing the water continuously for 3-5 days with the movement of about 6 to 1 beat 8, and the new water must be treated.
2. Indigestion after mass feeding or changing water after mass feeding
This situation can happen at any stage, often dragon friends find better food or feed strangers with poor food control, once fed too full, fish only indigestion, resulting in a period of refusing to eat, often accompanied by the action of climbing the tank. There are also fish friends who change a lot of water after a large amount of feeding, causing discomfort to the fish and even spitting stomach bags, and the fish will only refuse to eat for a period of time. Therefore, it is recommended that fish friends, it is appropriate to feed 7-8 points full, so that the arowana can always maintain a strong appetite. And a large number of water must stop eating on the day of changing water to avoid causing discomfort.
Countermeasures: for overfed arowana, fresh water and heating operation can be used to digest arowana. If the owner does refuse to eat after feeding in large quantities, please do not use insects and other food to induce food, but should actively stop eating. And use the above method * digestion, when the arowana food digestion is completed, can resume feeding after having an appetite.
3. Fish diseases
Most of the diseases of the internal organs of the fish may lead to refusing to eat, such as internal parasite, visceral inflammation, and so on, which are generally accompanied by the characteristics of various diseases: sunken eyes, body surface congestion, abdominal distension, bloating, head holes, body bending, and so on.
Countermeasures: prescribe the right remedy to the case and cure both the symptoms and the root causes.
4. Spontaneous periodic fasting
This situation usually occurs in the middle fish stage of 40 to 50 centimeters. When the arowana is raised from small to big, because it is full all day long, it may suddenly begin to stop eating at a certain stage. In this case, the "arowana Special issue" states that this kind of food stoppage may be an instinctive reaction of a kind of creature. If the fish are in good condition, everything is normal. Please don't worry about it, just wait patiently.
Countermeasure: keep the water quality and wait patiently.
5. Single food anorexia
Although most arowana like insect food, but if it is fed by crickets all day, maybe one day it will no longer be interested in crickets, and the river fish may have a lot of food, so comprehensive feeding is good for arowana to maintain its appetite.
Countermeasure: change food
6. The urgency of environmental change
Changes in the environment include moving the cylinder, changing the new background, changing the layout of the tank, and so on. This urgency causes the dragon fish to refuse to eat for a long time, accompanied by cylinder climbing, fast swimming, easy to panic, grinding up and down the cylinder, sluggish corner and so on. For some time, I improved the sound of the filtered outlet so that the water could flow smoothly into the tank, but the arowana in the mixed culture tank that had become accustomed to the sound of the water showed a state of tension and easy to be frightened. At the same time, they refused to eat collectively and restored the sound of the water. After a few days, the situation disappeared.
Countermeasures: find the cause, recover what can be recovered, and wait patiently for the adaptation process if you can't recover.
7. Loneliness caused by the decrease of Mixed fish culture
In the dragon tank, there may be mixed culture of tiger, rainbow, flying Phoenix, parrot and other mixed fish, or directly mixed culture of dragon aquarium. in this case, if the arowana has become accustomed to, and suddenly fished away its partner in mixed culture, or suddenly changed from mixed culture to monoculture, most arowana will refuse to eat, you can think about it, there is mixed fish for the dragon fish spirit is good, once his habitual partner disappears, loneliness will make him think about diet.
Countermeasure: restore the mixed culture environment.
8. During pregnancy
During the Breeding period, especially when the female fish is pregnant with eggs, due to the rapid development of the abdomen and ovaries, the abdomen is extremely bulging, oppressing the stomach and swim bladder, causing the arowana to refuse to eat for a long time, often for several months. at the same time, the body floating up and down is not very flexible, it can be seen through the swing of the tail, it is inevitable to stop eating during this period, ignore it, and patiently prepare for reproduction.
9. Seasonal fasting
Due to seasonal changes, especially in the northern region, arowana is easy to stop eating in the Spring and Autumn period, although there is a constant temperature in the tank.
Question 2: why doesn't the golden dragon fish eat! The reasons why golden arowana do not eat are generally the following, please analyze them according to different situations:
1. The water quality is poor or too old

Gong 7. Loneliness caused by the decrease of mixed fish culture
In the dragon tank, there may be mixed culture of tiger, rainbow, flying Phoenix, parrot and other mixed fish, or directly mixed culture of dragon Aquarium. in this case, if the arowana has become accustomed to, and suddenly fished away its partner in mixed culture, or suddenly changed from mixed culture to monoculture, most arowana will refuse to eat, you can think about it, there is mixed fish for the dragon fish spirit is good, once his habitual partner disappears, loneliness will make him think about diet.

9. Seasonal fasting
Due to seasonal changes, especially in the north, arowana is easy to stop eating in spring and autumn, although there is a constant temperature ring in the tank.
Question 3: my golden arowana does not eat, what is the reason why I do not know if there is anything wrong with your water quality? If it is enteritis, its feces should be white or yellow before. I estimate that there are several possibilities: 1. Cold fish belong to variable temperature animals, and their body temperature changes with the change of ambient temperature. In general, the temperature difference between fish and water is only about 0.1C. If the water temperature changes suddenly, the temperature difference is more than 5 ℃, the fish will feel uncomfortable, even catch a cold, lose appetite, move slowly, swim abnormally, or even float on the water, gradually lose their vitality and die. The preventive method is to keep a certain proportion of new water and old water when changing water. Unless the special water quality deteriorates, all the water can be replaced. However, when all water is changed, care should be taken to control the temperature difference between new and old water not more than 5 ℃, so that they will not get sick. two。 Hypoxia causes low oxygen content in water for some reasons, which leads to the death of a large number of fish due to hypoxia. When the aerator in the aquarium is turned off at night, the fish will float to the surface to breathe in the early hours of the next day, commonly known as "floating head". If the shutdown time is too long, the oxygen content in the water is lower than the oxygen consumption of the fish, and the skin of the fish jaw is extended, which is covered with congested microvessels. If the oxygen content continues to decrease, it will be more difficult for the fish to breathe. At this time, the fish will be grumpy, jump randomly, so that they are dying and finally die. For hypoxia, should give priority to prevention, equipped with oxygenator (pump), pay attention to timely change of water. Otherwise, because the carbon dioxide waste gas released by the fish in the normal metabolic process is soluble in water, when the amount of carbon dioxide dissolved in the water is too high, it will lead to the disease of fish. 3. Urgency when the water temperature, pH value and hardness of the water change too much, the fish will shrink into a ball. If not handled properly, the disease will often be caused by mixed infection of other pathogens. treatment methods should focus on prevention, pay attention to the change of water quality and water temperature is not too great. When the new water is added, pay attention to slowly mix with the old water, so that the fish gradually adapt to the new water. When fish disease occurs, pay attention to maintaining the stability of water quality. If the water quality is poor, a large number of suitable water should be replaced and drugs should be used to control pathogen infection if necessary. 4. Alkaline venereal disease when the water quality is extremely alkaline, fish are easy to suffer from this disease. The symptom is that the fin is soft and weak, and the only way to prevent and cure it is to change the water frequently and keep the water clean and pH suitable. 5. Bacterial enteritis [etiology] is mainly caused by eating unclean food or overeating, intestinal distension, obstruction of excretion, and finally enteritis caused by bacterial infection. [pathogen] is Aeromonas punctata. [symptoms] diseased fish often have a dilated abdomen, showing erythema, prominent, dull fish, motionless in the corner of the aquarium, short-term convulsions of body muscles, no food, and white feces. Open the abdomen of the fish, you can see hydrops in the abdominal cavity, congestion and inflammation of the intestinal wall, light cases, only part of the intestines appear red, in severe cases, the whole intestine is purplish red, there is no food in the intestines, filled with yellowish mucus and blood pus. Having said so much, you can diagnose the fish by yourself.
Question 4: Golden arowana always does not eat, no appetite to eat, how to do after a large area of water, the water temperature and water quality is different from before, resulting in arowana does not adapt to the environment. You can't change water so much in the future. If the little dragon, in order to promote the metabolism of the new city, let the dragon grow fast, raise the water temperature to 28 degrees, change water 1/4 (trapped water) every week, and the temperature difference is less than 2 degrees.
In addition, when feeding small fish and shrimp, you should first stun the small fish. (it is best to sterilize the small fish with salt water first, and then wash them with clean water.) otherwise, the small fish will run all over the tank, and the arowana will easily hit the tank and cause scale loss and beard breakage. And to feed one at a time, the arowana can be fed 70% full, so that he can maintain a sense of hunger, the next time to eat more appetite, which is beneficial to the growth of arowana.
Every time you put too much fish into the fish tank, the arowana can not finish, slowly he will get used to the existence of the fish and not eat him, but the fish will attract his attention, (or the arowana sinks to the bottom of the tank to eat the fish) for a long time, will cause the arowana to lose its eyes. You know, beard breakage and eye loss affect the beauty of arowana most.
Arowana is a very picky eater among tropical fish. If you want him to change his mouth, you need bait. The young dragon does not recommend bait, which will affect his growth. You can try it with a bread worm. It should arouse his appetite.
Here are some ways to prevent eye loss:
Prevention starts from the selection of arowana, pay attention to the eyes, generally from the genetic point of view, the small dragon eyes will be more likely to lose their eyes. The second is to avoid the attraction of external factors in the process of feeding, such as often leaving people, children and small animals walking around in front of the fish tank, closer to the TV will cause the arowana to lose its eyes.
The third is to pay attention to feeding habits, to avoid throwing live feed fish into the tank, can not eat live feed fish swimming in the bottom of the tank, will also attract the attention of arowana. This is obviously different from mixed fish in lower waters, because the dragon will only be interested in the food it can eat, although the dragon will pay some attention at the beginning of mixed fish, but it will no longer attract it over a long time; breeders should form the good habit of feeding with their hands, and arowana can not only prevent eye loss, but also enhance the interaction between people and fish, making them familiar with the breeders.
The space size of the fish tank is also one of the factors that cause the dragon fish to lose its eyes, especially the width. Raising dragons is generally popular to seal cylinders on three sides, so only one side of the dragon can look out. If the width is not enough, the dragon's line of sight will always be attracted by a variety of external factors, resulting in unilateral eye loss.
Finally, there is the light problem of the fish tank ~ in general, the water lamp will cause the arowana to fall out more easily than the overhead light. Veterans all know that arowana's eyes are strongly shielded from light, and light is an inducement to attract arowana's attention. If the light is on, the space it illuminates is the most uniform, and it is soft and not dazzling, then the arowana's vision can be relatively comfortable and the attention will naturally be upward.
1. Suddenly turning on the top light in the dark will make the arowana's eyes avoid the light in an instant, so we must pay attention to turn on the indoor light first and turn on the fish tank light after the arowana adapts to the light.
2. The top lamp is generally equipped with a waterproof lampshade, and there is a certain distance from the water surface ~ due to water vapor, the water vapor on the lampshade will affect the lighting, and the reflection and refraction of the light from the water surface reduces the color guiding effect of the light on the arowana. Therefore, when choosing the lamp, we should choose some excellent brands, one is to ensure the penetration of light, and the other is to ensure the softness of light. Only in this way can the arowana be avoided as much as possible.
In the problem of color guidance of arowana, the lamp in the water is better than the overhead light, but it is the main factor that causes the arowana to lose its eyes. On the issue of the use of underwater lamps, people are more concerned about the location of the lamps. Some people say it should be on the surface of the water, some say it should be 10-15 cm underwater, and others say it should be placed under the cylinder.
In fact, no matter where it is placed, it does not matter, the most important thing is the light, that is, the angle of the lamp after placement, which is the most important thing. The exposure angle is not right, the light is uneven, the arowana eyes avoid light, first to avoid the light and nervous side swim, followed by serious eye loss.
Therefore, when using underwater lamps, you should pay attention to the following problems:
1, to choose soft lighting, under the same conditions, choose low wattage, rather dark than bright.
2. The lamp in the water should be placed in a position convenient for viewing. No matter where it is, pay attention to rotating and adjusting the exposure angle of the light. The main point is to observe the upper and lower corners of the illuminating surface in order to maximize the uniformity of light (please note that it is the two corners from the bottom to the cylinder head, not the two corners from the bottom to the surface).
3. Adjust up and down regularly every month, the adjustment range is less than 5 cm above and below the original position, pay attention to re-rotate the lamp to adjust the light.
Question 5: what if the golden arowana is in a bad state and doesn't like to eat? try other food and adjust it slowly. Baidu Guangzhou presents a thousand auspicious dragon fish trade professional to answer for you.
Question 6: what if I don't like to eat my golden arowana for more than ten days? Golden arowana is one of the few paleofish left today.
Arowana belonging to the Osteoglossidae family began to exist in the Carboniferous period as early as 290 million years ago. Later, the movement of the earth's crust gradually distributed them to all continents of the world, and now they are mainly distributed in Oceania, South America and Asia. Belonging to the family Osteohyoideae, there are several strains of different forms, and the precious ones are goldfish and Red Arowana. The goldfish is native to Malaysia, while the red arowana is mainly produced in Indonesia. In addition, there are pearl dragons produced in Australia and silver dragons and black dragons produced in the Amazon River in South America.

Breeding environment
Water quality
Weak acid soft water is needed to raise arowana. Generally speaking, the quality of tap water from rivers is weakly acidic and is suitable for arowana. But tap water contains chlorine or fluorine, which is harmful to arowana and even causes death. Therefore, when raising arowana, you must
Golden arowana
Store the water for 1 or 2 days or bask in the sun for half a day, so that the chlorine or fluorine dissolved in the water can disappear by itself. A very small amount of baking soda can also be added to the water to decompose chlorine. If you use tap water, well water and mineral water from underground, the hardness may be on the high side. 1/3 or 1/2 of boiled water or distilled water should be added to reduce the hardness of the water. The old water raised by arowana in the aquarium for a long time will generally become hard water due to evaporation and should be softened in time. The easiest way to soften water quality is to boil the water first, remove impurities, or filter it with ion exchange resin filtration equipment.
Water temperature
It is best to keep the water temperature at 24: 26 ℃, especially for raising silver dragons and black dragons, the water temperature needs to be raised to 28: 30 ℃. The arowana is very sensitive to the sudden rise or decrease of water temperature, which can easily shock the nervous system, interrupt absorption and lead to death. When raising arowana, the constant water temperature must be strictly controlled. In particular, when raising arowana in an aquarium, the temperature difference between new and old water should not exceed 2 ℃, and when new water is injected, it must be used to injection and spread out. When the arowana is transported to the new environment, it should wait about 15 minutes, and then put the fish in when the water temperature of the carrying container is close to that of the new stocking environment.
oxygen
There are two main sources of dissolved oxygen in water, one is the product of photosynthesis of aquatic plants, and the other is directly dissolved from the air. However, the decomposition of residual bait, fish excreta and withered branches and leaves of aquatic plants are also consuming dissolved oxygen in the water. Therefore, all kinds of dirt in breeding ponds and aquariums should be cleaned in time. In order to ensure that there is enough dissolved oxygen in the pool or aquarium, it should also be equipped with oxygen-increasing equipment. In addition, the consumption of dissolved oxygen in water is closely related to the stocking density of arowana. The best density of arowana is calculated as fish body length 20 cm, water depth 50 cm, 15 fish on 5 square meters of water surface and 30 fish on 15 square meters. Stocking density can be increased appropriately with the expansion of the water surface. Adult red-tailed arowana
Light
Fish need moderate light in the process of growth, preferably in the morning and evening twice a day when the sun shines on the feeding water for 3-4 hours. The light is too dark, arowana action is rigid, loss of appetite, dim color; too strong light, will also swim abnormal, and even bubble disease and so on.
Aquarium feeding and management
The arowana is larger, and the length of the aquarium should be more than 120 cm. At the same time, ultraviolet sterilization should be installed to prevent diseases. The filter is sure to have a heating rod and a light tube. The aquarium must be equipped with an air pump, which can not only increase the dissolved oxygen in the water, but also remove the excessive concentration of carbon dioxide in the water. In order to prevent the arowana from jumping on the water surface when frightened, the aquarium must also be covered. The water quality in the aquarium should be changed at least once every three days. If the fin shedding may be caused by too much fresh water, as long as the change of water is suspended immediately, it can be slowly recovered.
Feed
The arowana will hit an angle in the tank when eating too hard, resulting in injury. When feeding, it is best to feed in the middle of the tank. Arowana is a fleshy animal, most of the arowana diet is frog, Loach, cricket, goldfish, grasshopper, shrimp and so on. There is a problem of adding color in feeding, such as red dragon, feeding red arrow or shrimp plays a certain role in increasing color of red dragon, because red arrow and shrimp contain red pigment. Young fish less than 12 centimeters have just begun to eat raw bait, then you can feed freshly shelled white bread worms, shrimps (be sure to turn around and tail, preferably peeled into shrimp balls so as not to hurt their intestines and stomach), blood worms and other palatable ones.
Question 7: what to do if the golden arowana refuses to eat? Two months without food is a big problem! The common questions are as follows, please check them first:
1. Changes in water quality
Arowana is a very sensitive animal, if the fish tank water temperature, PH has a relatively big change, it will quickly feel, so if found that the arowana does not eat, first check whether the water quality is normal, to try to ensure that the water quality fluctuation will not be too big, arowana do not like old water, change water frequently, change twice a week, each time 1/4, the specific situation will be determined according to the size of the fish tank in their respective homes.
two。 Feed
Maybe when the fish is relatively small, it eats more fiercely and more, and when it grows up a little, it loses its appetite. In fact, this is normal. When the arowana is young, it wants to make itself stronger, so it will keep eating. Generally, eating at 30 centimeters will be more stable. In addition, breeders can also avoid the symptoms of not eating by understanding how the arowana is fed in a variety of ways.
In addition, if you feed the same kind of food for a long time, arowana will not eat, so in normal feeding, we must pay attention to balanced nutrition, a variety of food collocation to feed, occasionally for a change of taste, each time do not feed too full, easy to indigestion, causing arowana not to eat, using the method of eating less and eating more. In addition, the arowana should stop eating after a large change of water.
3. Environment
Changes in the surrounding environment, such as changing the background of the fish tank, changing the layout, etc., will affect the state of the arowana, and even cause other arowana diseases, this situation should be resting and let the arowana recover slowly.
4. Mixed culture
Accustomed to monoculture arowana, if suddenly add other fish to the tank, it will feel uncomfortable, state decline, do not eat the phenomenon, at this time to let it slowly adapt, do not make any changes to the fish tank in a short period of time. Also pay attention to know in advance arowana and what kind of fish mixed culture, not casually put fish mixed culture.
And vice versa, when mixed farming becomes monoculture, this situation will also occur!
5. Diseases
Arowana body symptoms, not only will not eat this abnormal, but also accompanied by other anomalies, feeding the main careful observation, to find out the cause of illness, treatment.
Question 8: what if the newly invited golden dragons don't eat? they are nervous and familiar with the environment. Do you have to let it adapt for a few days? it is not related to the water quality, temperature, mixed culture, density and volume, and the shock in the tank.
Question 9: why don't the golden arowana like to eat these days? if the new arowana suddenly does not eat, then there are several reasons, the first is frightened to refuse to eat, the second is to refuse to eat in different seasons, and the third is that the food is fed up.
If you're scared.
Generally speaking, arowana is frightened in the following ways:
1. The visiting location of the fish tank is too close to the human activity space.
2. there is a sudden noise or vibration, such as heavy trucks passing by near the street, decoration of people around, and so on.
3. The light intensity around the fish tank suddenly changes.
4. when changing water, the temperature difference between the new water and the old water is too large, causing the dragon fish to be frightened.
5. Other pets, such as cats and dogs, are kept at home, which frighten the arowana
6. The arowana was frightened when the owner did strenuous exercise in front of the fish tank.
Knowing the common situations that are easy to cause shock, we should try our best to avoid placing the fish tank by the door, in the middle of the living room, etc., and at the same time avoid major changes in the living environment of arowana in the short term.
If the arowana is frightened and refuses to eat, it should restore the living environment familiar to the arowana, reduce the impact of the environment on it, and stop changing water and other work. Wait until the arowana is emotionally stable before continuing to feed.
If you refuse to eat in the off-season, then it's all right. Just wait a few days.
If you are fed only one kind of food for a long time, if you are tired of eating fish at this time, you can change other foods and match them reasonably, so that the arowana can be nutritious at the same time.
Finally, the water quality is not very good, you can change a small amount of water every day * arowana to eat. But don't change a lot of water.
Question 10: the arowana doesn't eat for 3 days. Even if the arowana doesn't eat for a few months, it won't have a big problem. This creature has lived on the earth for hundreds of millions of years and has a very strong physique. Never mind.
The following methods are recommended:
1 maintain a water temperature of 28-30 degrees, change water (sleepy) 1/4 to 1/3 every two days, and add appropriate amount of crude salt (no iodized salt for stir-frying). This can speed up metabolism and promote the appetite of arowana. Try it every day with its favorite breadworm or other food. if you don't eat it, take it out immediately and try again the next day. Avoid food contaminating the water, or dragons get used to eating food in a fish tank instead of eating it.
Seal the fish tank on three or four sides with newspapers to prevent the dragon fish from seeing people walking around outside the tank.
In addition, if it is a newly bought fish, it is necessary to fast for more than 3 days, sometimes ten days or more. The arowana won't starve to death without food for months.
4 when fasting, the lights should be controlled according to the time of sunrise, and the lights should not be turned on or off for a long time.
