Things to note when raising water lilies and fish together

2023-09-09 23:50:47 128

When raising water lilies and fish, you need to pay attention to the following points:


1. Water quality management: Both water lilies and fish need clear and hygienic water environment. Maintaining the quality of the water body is important to both. Test water quality regularly to control ammonia, nitrate and nitrate levels and maintain proper pH.


2. Water depth and volume: Different types of water lilies and fish have different requirements for water depth and volume. Make sure you provide them with enough water depth and space to meet their needs. Fish need enough space to swim, and water lilies need water deep enough to grow and expand.


3. Sunlight and shade: Water lilies usually need sufficient sunlight to bloom and grow, but too much sunlight may cause water temperatures to rise, which is detrimental to fish. Provide appropriate daylight hours and provide some shaded areas where fish can escape the harsh sun if needed.


4. Feed and feeding: Choose appropriate feed and feeding methods according to the type of fish and the type of water lily. Make sure there is an adequate feed supply, but avoid overfeeding, which can lead to water contamination.


5. Plant protection: The roots of water lilies may be eaten by fish, so care needs to be taken to protect the roots of water lilies from fish damage. Physical isolation measures such as screens or root guards can be used.


6. Disease prevention and control: Regularly check the health of water lilies and fish. If you notice any signs of abnormality, such as disease, parasites, etc., consult your veterinarian or professional horticulturist for appropriate treatment.


Remember to observe regularly and keep the water clean to ensure the health and comfort of fish and water lilies.
