Zebrafish Observation Diary 1

As an aquarium novice, after get info from what kind of fish is good for beginners, I choose zebrafish, which scientific name is Danio Rerio. 

The zebrafish arrived on March 3, and the water was prepared in advance in a fish tank 20 L for them to rest at least a week. 

Here, I am going to record my observations of them by way of a diary.

Weather: sunny

Situation: good

First, as requested, put zebrafish and pearl crabs together with the bag into the water, helps them to adapt different water temperature, after about 2 hours, get some fish tank water out of the tank, cut bags and pour them into the water basin, wait patiently almost two hours later, then use the fishing net to pick them up and put them into the fish tank carefully, this series of actions also announced the completion of the water change.

So far, overall, the fish are very lively and seem to be very well adapted to their new home.

The pepper crab broke three legs and was later put in deep water to stay next to the oxygen pump.

The clever use of built-in filters can create waterfalls, enhance the visual effects of paludarium , while providing additional humidity for land plants and ample space for the growth of wet-l...

Wednesday, March 9, 2022 Weather: Sunny Situation: Surprised that the lily seeds thrown into the water a few days ago sprouted, green stems look like a hermit crab with two tentacles sticking out. The zebrafish are in great shape and the crabs (two large ones and one super small mini crab) are still alive, thank goodness. Near noon, I unplugged the air pump because my phone was charging, and I ended up going to dinner at noon and forgot to turn on the oxygen pump for them, so I rushed to connect them to the oxygen pump in the afternoon, and was anxious to see their motionless appearance.  One of the big crabs was almost the whole thing on top of the airstone ball of the pump. After a few minutes, I moved the pump a few times and made sure the crab was still alive. They became the aquatic creature I was most worried about in the whole aquarium . I don't to care too much about the zebrafish, probably because the fish stays stable, and subconsciously I put the zebrafish in the "...
