Extended data

Pay attention to the duckweed placement in the fish tank.

1, don't put a lot of duckweed in hot environment or thunderstorm weather. Because of the sultry weather, the dissolved oxygen in the fish tank will drop. If duckweed is put in at this time, the dissolved oxygen in the fish tank will be further reduced, which will easily lead to the death of goldfish in severe cases.

2. You can't feed duckweeds in the evening or at night because duckweeds put into fish ponds in the evening or at night will consume a lot of dissolved oxygen in the water by their own breathing; Moreover, after the goldfish are full at night, it will increase the oxygen consumption of breathing, both of which will lead to hypoxia in the pool water. If it is serious, it will also lead to the death of goldfish.
