Zebrafish Observation Diary 2

Friday, March 4, 2022

Weather: sunny

Situation: a little good

Fish tank: 2 little guys died: one pepper crab and one fluorescent yellow fish.

Other fish were in good condition.

After checking some information, I learned that chili crabs cannot be kept in deep water and are prone to die from lack of oxygen. I guess this pepper crab died because of hypoxia. So oxygen is very important for crab pet, an air pump is necessary for it.

The fluorescent yellow fish died for the same reason but and seems it was melting after several hours, and it became specimen. The fish was surrounded by fluorescent yellow. I put their bodies in the lid of a paper cup that I usually use to drink leftover soy milk, and I was going to find time to bury them.

  Sunday, March 13, 2022 Weather: Sunny Situation: I came to visit the fish and crabs at work a day earlier than expected because I was worried about them. I actually had a very clear purpose, I came to change their water. No more delays, really change the water . Since it was the first time I changed the water, I was a bit apprehensive. I first took out the fish and crabs from the tank into the water basin where they had been sitting for two days, and then I fished the water ficus, sprouted seeds of the water lily, and the tree trunk decoration out of the tank one by one.  With the assistance of two colleagues, the water pump was turned on and when it was turned on, the water in the fish tank was pumped out smoothly and flowed down. After pumping out about one-third of the water, the pumping was stopped. One of the lily seeds had sprouted and bent across the entire surface of the water, as if building a plant bridge. The rest of the bowl of lotus seeds, except for one that ...
