What kind of fish is suitable for an aquatic plant tank
Today, the editor will explain the introduction of aquatic plant landscaping, what kind of fish is suitable for an aquatic plant tank, and the site editor will introduce to netizens next.
Although an aquatic plant tank is dominated by plants, adding fish can certainly enhance its beauty. For beginners, choosing the right fish for an aquatic plant tank is a very challenging problem, as fish are not cheap, and selecting the appropriate ones is very important.
Do not put any fish in the tank when the aquatic plants are newly planted because the plants' ability to absorb organic matter is poor when they are not fully grown. The organic matter in the fish's excrement will slowly breed algae, which is one of the reasons for the爆发 of algae in aquatic plant tanks. At this time, the tank does not have the function of decomposing excrement, which can affect water quality and also cause some impact on the fish's survival. Therefore, the best time to release fish is after the digestive system of the aquatic plant tank is stable, the water quality is stable, and the plants have grown well, followed by breeding.
When considering what kind of fish is suitable for an aquatic plant tank, one should first think about its function. Therefore, some algae-eating fish can be released in the early stage of setting up the tank. Of course, do not feed them food at this time. If they only eat food, they will develop a habit and will not eat algae later. So, let the fish only eat algae after being put into the tank, and they will slowly get used to it. Later, the algae in your tank will be eliminated by them, and you don't have to worry about an algae outbreak.
Let's recommend several types of algae-eating fish. The first one is the black-line flying fox, which is specifically for dealing with some difficult-to-handle algae, such as mustache algae and filamentous algae, so it is a good choice.
There is also a fish called the little spirit, whose cleaning ability is recognized by everyone. It mainly deals with some climbing algae and variant algae, but because it is timid, it will reduce its algae removal ability if it is startled. Also, the little spirit is weak and very easy to die, so players need to pay more attention when choosing.
Let's also talk about the moss mouse, also known as the Thai moss-eating fish, which has long been kept by everyone to eat algae. But as it grows, it will gradually eat things other than algae and use its sucker to attack other fish, especially those with a large surface area like angelfish. Lastly, let's mention the black mollies, which are specifically for eating the tender leaves of algae, have a large appetite, and can effectively clear away algae like mushrooms and hair algae.
