Can tap water raise fish?

Of course. It is not recommended to directly raise fish with tap water. Before use, it should be aerated for at least one day or treated with some aquarium chemicals to remove chlorine.

A certain amount of disinfectant will remain in tap water, especially after the property has cleaned the water supply system, which is not suitable for direct addition to the fish tank. It's best to let it evaporate for a while. Moreover, some fish like to change water frequently, while others don't, but it is necessary to cultivate the ecological environment of the fish tank without changing water for a long time.

Generally, changing water is because the water in the fish tank is turbid. Changing water is not the best solution, which is time-consuming and laborious. If the nitrifying bacteria in the fish tank are well raised, the water in the fish tank can be self-purified and will not be turbid. The water is turbid because the excrement of fish will float in the water, which can't be absorbed by plants. Of course, the fish won't solve it by itself, so it is necessary to cultivate nitrifying bacteria in the fish tank. Nitrifying bacteria will feed on the garbage in water and decompose it. With nitrifying bacteria, the water will not be turbid, the fish tank will be sanitary, and fish and fish will not get sick easily. Nitrifying bacteria are sold in aquarium shops. Just add them to the fish tank according to the instructions.

However, adding nitrifying bacteria will not be immediate, because nitrifying bacteria are bacteria and need to be "raised". Raising nitrifying bacteria will free you from the labor of changing water. The nitrifying bacteria added in the fish tank are just seeds, not many. You need to let them breed in your fish tank. If you have more, you can solve the garbage in the water in time. Once and for all, you must take good care of it. Several problems in cultivating nitrifying bacteria;

Residence: Nitrifying bacteria can't float in water, but need to be attached to other things, such as pond walls, aquatic plants, small ornaments, sand and stones. All kinds of sand and stones are a good choice, which can occupy a small space in the fish tank and provide a lot of places for nitrifying bacteria to survive.

Food: There must be water flow in the place where you live, because the nitrifying bacteria will not move, so you can only wait for the water to send the things that need to be decomposed, so the accessories provided must be "mixed with water". Therefore, porous stones and large-grained sand are better choices.

Breathing: Nitrifying bacteria also need breathing and oxygen in water, especially when decomposing garbage in water. Fish also need oxygen. If you see a fish swimming near the water surface, it means that there is no oxygen in the water, and you can use an air pump or a water pump to solve it. The water pump allows air to enter the water, which increases the contact surface between water and air, so that more oxygen in the air will enter the water. Therefore, it is best to have a pump in a fish tank with nitrifying bacteria.

Safety: You can live and work in peace and contentment, and he can try his best to help you solve the fish tank garbage without disturbing nitrifying bacteria. Harassing it means cleaning the fish tank. Nitrifying bacteria and mold are both bacteria, but we can see where there is mold, because there are mildew spots, you will disappear when you wipe them, but nitrifying bacteria spots are invisible. So don't clean the fish tank often. Cleaning is forced removal of nitrifying bacteria. A thorough cleansing is genocide.

With nitrifying bacteria, the water will not be mixed, but things like green moss may grow in the fish tank, which will affect the viewing, so we will clean the fish tank. Generally, the fish tank grows green moss because the fish tank is exposed to the sun, so don't expose the fish tank to the sun. It is also important to pay attention to the feeding amount of fish, so don't overdo it. People's food will go bad, so will fish's. Although nitrifying bacteria can help decompose some leftovers, your handful is equal to his mountain. In fact, it is difficult for fish to starve to death, but it is easy to die, and it is also easy to cause various diseases because of the deterioration of redundant food, so fish must be properly fed.

Sharing some previous experience in fish farming is actually a part of the ecological environment of fish tanks. Because fish is a relatively low-level animal, it is more dependent on the environment than cats and dogs, and it is more difficult to raise. But if the ecological environment of the fish tank is well conditioned, even if you don't change the water for a year, the fish will not die. Because, I have only raised it for more than a year, and I can only share it to this extent. At first, I was inexperienced, and many fish died. Later, with experience, more fish survived. It is a great pleasure to see those fish in the aquarium.
