What are the important points of raising goldfish in Feng Shui?

Introduction: Raising fish at home has become a trend in recent years. Raising fish at home is not only pleasing to the eye but also decorates the home and refreshes the air. From the perspective of Feng Shui, raising fish at home can also bring wealth and good luck, which is really a thing that people can't put down. However, many people who are new to fish farming do not know how to do it. Now I will teach you how to raise goldfish, and you can also create good feng shui by raising goldfish. What are the Feng Shui issues when raising fish at home? Let’s take a look at it from the perspective of fish tank Feng Shui.

How to Choose Goldfish

(1) Conditions for excellent goldfish

Beauty of form: well-proportioned body, short body and wide tail fin, with obvious breed characteristics;

Color beauty: The body color is rich and bright, and it is bright and beautiful at first sight;

Beauty in sports: swimming steadily and gracefully, with a beautiful appearance.

(2) How to choose healthy goldfish

Healthy fish swim, forage and compete for food in the middle and lower layers of the water. Their swimming posture is natural and leisurely, and they get along well with other fish. Their tail fins are clear, transparent and elegant. If the fish sinks to the bottom, floats to the surface, appears to be struggling when swimming, has external injuries, white hair, white spots, thickened, turbid, severely bloodshot tail fin, cloudy eyes, dull body color, or is alone, then these fish are sick and should not be purchased.

When you first learn to raise fish, there is a process of accumulating skills. You don’t have to choose perfect fish, but you have to buy cheap fish. Of course, buying healthy fish is something you must not ignore.

Things to note about fish tank feng shui

Before raising goldfish, you must first prepare a fish tank that is not too small. This mainly depends on the size and number of goldfish you raise. Pay attention to the density of fish stocking. Beginners often buy any fish they like when they see it, and seldom consider how many fish can be kept in the tank. Even if they ask the fishmongers for their advice, can they, with the purpose of making a profit, tell you to buy fewer fish? In my experience, at least 3 liters of water are needed to raise a 1 cm long fish. If your fish tank holds 100 liters of water, you can feed 3 10 cm fish and 8 5-6 cm fish (which are relatively narrow in shape). In winter, the temperature is low and the feeding is less, so the breeding density can be increased appropriately. Goldfish are more active and have brighter colors in a larger space. Excessive density can easily lead to lack of oxygen in the water, deterioration of water quality, and cause goldfish to become sick and die.

Preparing the fish tank water

The new water prepared for goldfish must be stored for a day or two, which is called water drying. The purpose is to remove some chlorine in the water and to make the temperature of the new water close to that of the old water.

Fish tank oxygenation

When you buy a goldfish, make sure you provide it with oxygen to prevent it from suffocating on the way home. After you get your goldfish home, don't rush to put it into the tank. First, put the plastic bag containing the fish into the fish tank for 10 to 20 minutes before opening it. Allow the tank water to flow back into the bag several times and gradually mix with the original water in the bag, so that the fish can gradually adapt to the water temperature and water quality of its new "home". If there is light, turn it off. Fish are quieter in the dark and less likely to be frightened.

Pay attention to the fish tank water temperature

Do not change the water temperature suddenly. Goldfish can survive in a wide temperature range. They can survive under the ice in winter and can live normally on hot days as long as they are not exposed to the scorching sun. However, if the temperature changes drastically, they will become sick or die. When buying fish, you should pay attention to the water temperature of the aquarium store and the water temperature of your fish tank. The deviation should not be too large, generally within 4 degrees is allowed.

Do not change water too much at one time

Do not change too much water at one time, otherwise the water quality will suddenly change, causing water quality discomfort in goldfish. Goldfish have adapted to living in the original water quality. If the water quality changes suddenly, the goldfish will not be able to adapt and will become sick or even die suddenly.

How to properly raise goldfish

How to feed

It is best to eat it once or twice a day and within 5 to 10 minutes. Feed less on rainy days and do not feed at night. Fish need to consume more oxygen when digesting food. The air pressure is lower on rainy days and at night, and the amount of oxygen dissolved in the water is also lower. Feeding fish at this time may cause severe lack of oxygen in the water and kill the fish. This is why most fish deaths occur at night. The hunger and fullness and digestion and absorption status of goldfish can be determined by the color of their feces: if the fish feces are green, brown or black, it means that the fish is eating properly and absorbing well. If the fish poop is white, it means the fish is overfed.

Food cleaning

The food must be clean. Feeding unclean fish food can easily lead to fish diseases. Although goldfish prefer live food the most, goldfish fed live food also grow faster. However, live food grows in polluted water environments and is easily contaminated with pathogens, so you must be cautious when feeding live food.

Recommendation: Buy branded frozen fresh foods produced by professional companies, such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, etc., and supplement them with beans and vegetables to maintain comprehensive nutrition. Mealworms are also a favorite live food of goldfish and have high nutritional value, so they can be fed appropriately.

Keep the water in the fish tank clean

Keep the water clean. Goldfish eat a lot, consume a lot of oxygen and excrete a lot of waste, which pollutes the water and breeds bacteria. In order to keep the water clean, a filter should be installed. Every day, the waste and leftover bait should be removed from the bottom of the tank and one-tenth of the old water should be replaced. This should not be neglected especially in summer. It is best to use a filter with an aeration design, so that filtration and aeration can be carried out at the same time, which can purify the water and replenish oxygen.

Avoid oils and fats in water

Do not bring oil or grease into the water. Oil will float on the water surface and isolate the air, making it impossible for oxygen to be replenished in the water, which will cause goldfish to die from lack of oxygen. Feeding meat or handling things with hand cream on your hands will bring oil into the water, which should be carefully avoided.

Beginners start raising fish from Wen

It is best to start with goldfish, a species of fish. Wen fish goldfish have strong foraging ability, strong physique and are less susceptible to accidental injuries. You can reduce losses by accumulating experience before raising valuable fish.
