Food for fish

Preferably the granules that you find in special trade goldfish are great! You can complete dry diet flea pool. Try not to give them because they contain many Tubifex disease. Only if you find frozen or dried Tubifex stores and properly packed!To avoid problems with bladder fin is advisable to give them at least once a week. Husked and boiled peas. Inante preferable to change their water.
Feeding: No food is no exception to the great adaptability of Caras, larvae, crustaceans, vegetation, shellfish, eggs can be eaten all of the above. Although the variety of food varies from one water to another (delta, ponds, rivers, mountain lakes) crucian has no problem to feed.Crucian is a more than amazing in terms of science, can live in very low oxygen waters, boundaries between pH slightly above that support them, can live for days in low water, only mud, amazingly resistant long without food and adapts easily to any conditions of feeding, can mate with other fish of the family ciprinidelor, goldfish are always followers. Because of this great strength and relatively fast growth has been introduced in many farms (farms) in the former USSR and the new (under communism). Far from being a more useful crucian tends to destabilize the environment that adapts so it seems that he is directly responsible for the disappearance of endemic carp, which came in the area. The reasons are multiple, competing to food, and indrazanti crucian is much faster, cross-submission after which no result so than goldfish. The Delta phenomenon was observed tracking chair female to male crucian carp and carp roe spilling over roes or eggs of carp food.The waters of the mountain is a real nuisance, upon entering into a mountain lake crucian destroy in a few years the population of salmonids. It is well known that trout spawn in fall and spring chickens out, well, how long is winter walk cards tirelessly looking goldfish eggs they eat.

Except hat is red, it is entirely white. It is considered a more delicate, with a low tolerance to pollution and low temperatures. Hood is sensitive to infection with bacteria and fungi, which is valid for all hooded varieties.





 6 Caras Lionhead

While the purchase may be chicken, fish can reach mature size until about 30 cm. Also, do not omit the fact that it is very energetic and likes to spend time swimming. So, one copy will need an aquarium of about 60-100 l.
For each additional purchase added more than 30L to get the right capacity. If you are not sure of the correct size, consult with your seller's Pet Shop. This will help you choose suitable aquarium decorations you can tell what to use or how to care for him.
The aquarium can be decorated with plants and an artificial reef or a rock band where you can hide. Of course, you can opt for other decorations that have the same purpose.2 Buy the necessary accessories
The lamp. You need to buy a special lamp for aquariums. Opt for a fluorescent. You lit the lamp at least 10 hours a day.
Thermometer. It is designed to measure water temperature. Although not very demanding carasii, can live in waters with temperatures from 5oC to 25oC, would be ideal to be permanently TEMPERATURE values ​​between 18-21oC. Maintaining water heating is performed using a fluorescent lamp.
Oxygen pump. Although fish are very active and they oxygenate the water and naturally, it is necessary to have a pump oxygen. If you possess a single pump is not necessary, but if you have a large number of fish you have to buy one.
Water filter. Goldfish are a lot of misery every day. A filter helps keep clean for a long time and even prevent tank contamination with different bacteria.
Sand substrate. It is recommended to use a sand substrate, as is wont to seek food crucian and sand, not only eat it from above. Using a high sand or gravel, the fish can hurt during this process.3 Feed it properly
Feed him at least twice a day. It is advisable to give fixed amounts of food, so that no debris remains in the tank. This can lead to fouling and contamination of water with algae and bacteria. Also, you should establish a quantity of food they give to him regularly. If the fish will eat in excess health problems can occur.

Marine Aquariums

The main difference between freshwater aquariums and marine aquariums comes from the fact that sea water contains many salts which give some specific characteristics important to know.Sea water contains more than sixty different amounts of elements, the main element is chlorine which is 54% DNI total mass of salts, sodium is second with 30%. These two elements together form sodium chloride and is the largest salt from sea water. Besides the two Elements as important are: magnesium, sulfur, calcium, potassium and bromine.
Among the features that are important marine acvriilor are:- Ddensitatea, pH, TAC, nitrogen cycle, temperature.- Density varies with temperature (decreases when the temperature increases) is measured to estimate salinity. Density should range between 1022 and 1024.- PH in a marine aquarium should not fall below 8. and varies between 8 and 8.5, if you exceed these limits physiological problems.- TAC (Fully Alcalimetric titre) measures the amount of carbon and calcium and magnesium bicarbinati. It is important to maintain pH and coral growth that are composed of calcium carbonate.
The aquarium should be a permanent balance between oxygen, carbon dioxide, plants and fish. Number of aquarium fish have special imporatnta both in terms of eating and excretion of oxygen but that turns into nitrogen, which is very toxic, then giving rise to nitrates nitrites.In a well-balanced aquarium not to exceed the threshold limit for nitrates. During the day due to photosynthesis, plants absorb carbon dioxide breath comes from bacteria to fish but also to extract the carbon and oxygen necessary for growth and remove.
Marine fish aclimatizeaza especially difficult depending on diet, considering their compotamentul (ages, group, need a territory) marine fish may or may not live together in the same aquarium.Few marine species regularly breed in the aquarium, except clown fish, fish beloved children of famous cartoon "Finding Nemo" anemones play an important role in reproduction of these fish, the fish they delimit an area near where they lay their anemones eggs on a substrate can also reproduce from 2 to 4 weeks.
In a marine aquarium and invertebrates have important because anemones and corals. Anemones live attached to the substrate by foot which acts as a suction cup, they are resistant to a water tank but be a good light. Corals live in a limestone skeleton that can be withdrawn, are very difficult to maintain in an aquarium and aquarium containing coral therefore be equipped with calciu.care reactor is used together with a recommended CO2 with a pH controller maintaining constant the value of the marine aquarium calcium and pH. The calcium reactor is introduced into the aquarium to another form of calcium, which helps keep the coral alive.
Of marine fish are: squirrel fish (Adioryx cornutus), red soldier fish (myripristis murjdan) gaterinul zebra (plectorhynchus orientalis), Hamlet blue (hypoplectrus Gemma), Hamlet gold (hypoplectrus gumnigutta), lemon butterfly fish (chaetodon miliaris), fish angel, clown fish (amphirion) etc..
