Zebrafish Observation Diary 12

 Wednesday, March 23, 2022

Weather: cloudy and rainy

Situation:

In the morning, my colleague brought in two golden sharks, which are said to be scientifically known as golden moss rats or China algae eater. 

At first they were placed in a large transparent box, but later, considering that in order to let them adapt to the new environment in fish tank, they scooped some water from the tank and put it into the water basin where it had been resting for a few days, and then added some water from the original box and let them stay in the water basin for a few hours.

At first, when they were put into the water basin, they were very lively and twisted around. I heard from a colleague that the other two golden sharks she kept at home almost jumped out of the tank at night, and they were very restless when they entered the water basin. Later, it took a lot of effort to get them out.

After getting them out of the tank and putting them in the tank, probably because it was a completely new environment, they also kept their bodies up and jumping around against the glass of the tank, like they were doing a ballet.

One of the golden sharks eater liked to burrow into the tree hole and lie motionless inside.

At first I was a little worried, after all, they are so big and the zebrafish are so small, if they want to hurt the zebrafish, it is really easy to do, but fortunately they get along very well, and after the fact check, they are really fish that can be mixed with the zebrafish.

How to Set up A Paludarium Tank

Image
  Why there is only half water in the Paludarium tank? The answer is that the Paludarium can provide a perfect habitat for amphibians (such as crabs, frogs, and salamanders), while the water can be used for small marsh fish such as medaka and betta as their home. More importantly, many aquatic plants are semi-aquatic plants, with their roots in the water, but their leaves sticking out of the water. In this way, they can take advantage of abundant sunlight and carbon dioxide, while also obtaining a permanent source of water and nutrients. Paludarium can be made from any container that can hold water. Use  aquarium lights  to promote plant growth, use driftwood and rocks to create a land space, and combine aquatic plants and land plants to create an amazing miniature nature landscape. 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-loving species

Zebrafish Observation Diary on Mar 31

Thursday, March 31th, 2022 Weather: Sunny Community tank's situation: One of the algae eater was hiding in the crevices of the water ficus leaves. I heard from my colleague that it kept using its mouth to nibble on the water ficus leaves and the volcanic rocks, and my colleague suspected that it might have grown algae. We are afraid that it is hungry, so feed them, but most of the food just sink into the water, divided up by the other zebrafish. Another divide up still likes to hide in the hygger hollow tree trunk , it seems to have a clear division of labor, each has its own domain. I stared at the golden shark hiding inside the water ficus for a while, its mouth did look like a suction cup. Several of the bowl of lily seeds were starting to darken their seed casings, not black to be exact, but dark coffee, rather like chocolate beans, and similar in shape to chocolate beans.   Probably because the water level is much lower than before, so the zebra fish are always swimming from t
