Your little one has so much thorny to have a goldfish that you have accepted by heart against? Or is it your half who has taken a sudden passion and (very) brief for the aquarist? Result: you are the happy person in charge of Maurice and his gang of sharks, or, to be more exact, a ban of goldfish all that is most banal.
What aquarium for my fish?
Please take a large jar to have happy fish . Yes, because a small fish will become large if it is well fed, or even, it will make children with his girlfriend (the guppy frequently reproduce in aquarium). One avoids to enclose it in a very small jar even if decoration side, there are really mini models guns. Well-being above all! Place on a bin of at least 30L for 1 to 5 fish (small), and add 5 L by fish to make them really comfortable. If the aquarium is too populated, the risk of disease and death in the basin increases.
It is also thought to monitor the filter closely . As the fish produces a lot of waste, it is necessary that the filter turns 24/24 and it is imperative to clean it regularly!
To ensure the well-being of Mauritius, we change the water regularly ! The ideal is to renew about 1/3 of the aquarium water every week ... Changing all the water in one stroke can generate stress, and stress can be fatal to Mauritius!
Slow food
Feeding too much Maurice is not a good idea either . Even if he is given a double ration in anticipation of a prolonged absence, Maurice spends his day searching for food ... and engulfs it almost as quickly as it rejects it in the form of droppings. The calculation is done quickly: the more the fish are fed, the more time will be spent on the maintenance of the aquarium. In addition, he can eat until he gets sick. It is therefore best to feed the animal in small quantities several times a day.
We protect the fish from his new friends
"New" newborns may be carriers of disease . So before immersing them in the aquarium we wait a little and immerse them in a preliminary lock for about two weeks. Sufficient time to ensure that the new fish is healthy and will not contaminate Mauritius.
And if Maurice is wise why not offer him an aquarium of madness? Discover the 15 most unusual aquariums of Pinterest in our slideshow!
