How to take care of ornamental fish when traveling?

Breeders often travel on business or business trips. What if the ornamental fish is left unattended? First, clean the aquarium before going out. Clean pebbles, aquatic plants, filters, etc. Thoroughly suck out the dirty things, replace them with 1/4 fresh water at the same temperature, stop feeding, and then check whether there is any problem with the filter and power supply. When everything is ready, you can go on your way with confidence.

Of course, don't cut off the power supply when you go out, otherwise the filters, oxygen pumps, heaters and other equipment will stop working because of power failure, which will inevitably affect the health of fish over time. Someone wants to ask, will fish starve to death? You don't have to worry, because adult fish have strong hunger tolerance. Even if you go out for half a month without feeding, the fish will not starve to death.

People who first raise ornamental fish often don't want the fish to be hungry, so they should feed them once for several days before leaving. As a result, when I came back, all the fish died. This is because fish are very greedy and eat too much at once, especially dry bait. They are fed directly without soaking in water in advance, and the fish try their best to swallow it when they see it. We know that dry bait will expand in volume after absorbing water, so it is easy to get full.

Furthermore, it is impossible for fish to eat all the bait for several days in 1 day. If you put too much bait before you leave, the excess bait and fish manure will decompose, which will produce toxic substances, seriously corrupt the water body, and cause the fish to die of hypoxia for a long time. This is the experience that fish experts often say that fish will not die if they are hungry for nine times, but will die if they are too full. Of course, for young fish, it is best not to let them starve for a long time, otherwise they will not grow up or get fat.
