As the saying goes, "fish culture raises water first." Why do you want to raise water when raising fish? How to raise water?

"Fish culture must first raise water", which is widely circulated in the fish culture circle. Water is an important environment for fish to survive, which has a great influence on fish's health and life. Therefore, before raising fish, we must fully understand how to raise fish, which is especially important for novice fishermen. Let's look at how to raise water.

Step 1: Water source selection

Water is the foundation of fish farming, and how to obtain suitable water sources is very important. First of all, we need to choose clean water sources, especially tap water, groundwater, river water and other tap water supplied to our homes. Due to the processing of waterworks, various parameters such as substance, content and PH value may change, which is not suitable for direct fish farming. It is recommended to use relatively natural water sources such as rainwater and natural water sources. If the conditions are not good, we can consider filtering the water to remove impurities, chlorine and other harmful substances, so as to develop an environment suitable for fish growth.

Step 2: Adjust the water quality

When we choose the water source for fish farming, we need to adjust its water quality. Different fish have different requirements for water quality, including PH value, temperature, hardness, ammonia nitrogen and so on.

PH value: Fish need proper PH value, hardness and alkalinity to grow smoothly. Different kinds of fish have different properties, and we can adjust them according to the different needs of fish. However, too high or too low PH value will have adverse effects on fish health, so it needs to be detected and adjusted in time.

Temperature: Different fish species have different requirements for water temperature, so we can maintain a lower or higher water temperature in the lower body. The temperature level of fish species can be used as an auxiliary index to observe the influence of fish.

Hardness: Fish need proper amount of minerals and salt, and the balance between hardness and salinity concentration in water should be ensured. Fish living in water with suitable hardness can promote the digestion of fish diet and promote the healthy growth of the body.

Ammonia nitrogen: Metabolites in fish will dissolve into ammonia, urea and other substances to be discharged. If the concentration of ammonia nitrogen in the water is too high, it will corrode the fish body and mucosa, which will weaken the function of liver and kidney system and adversely affect the growth of fish. In order to control the concentration of ammonia nitrogen, it can be managed by changing the water in the fish tank regularly and increasing the flora outside the tank.

Step 3: filter the water quality

Water quality filtration can treat and solve the impurities, sundries, germs, nitrides and other unfavorable substances in water. In order to achieve better filtering effect, we can use some filtering equipment. These filtering devices can remove pollutants, improve water quality, and achieve the purpose of maintaining the growth moisture of fish fillets, such as external filters, surface filters, feng shui wheels, etc.

In short, the first step in raising fish is to raise water. In order to make fish grow healthily and survive, the requirements for water quality are strict and meticulous. Take clean water, make it into the environment that fish need, and treat it with filtering equipment and other instruments, so as to make the water clearer and cleaner, give fish a better growth environment and make our fish farming trip more fruitful.
