3. Effective solutions recently verified by netizens
Based on the popular video released by Douyin fish farming expert "Aquatic Master" on July 19, as well as the content of the Tieba post, the following steps are recommended:
1.Emergency treatment:Immediately detect water quality parameters, focusing on the three core indicators of ammonia nitrogen (should be <0.02mg/L), nitrite (should be <0.2mg/L), and pH value (6.5-7.5 is appropriate).
2.Environmental adjustments:Keep the water temperature at 28-30°C (recently, you need to pay attention to cooling down due to high temperatures in many places), and use black water to relieve stress reactions. There are detailed tutorials under the topic #fishtank landscaping on Douyin.
3.Feeding Tips:Zhihu’s highly praised answer suggests trying live bait such as red worms and shrimp meat to attract food, and soaking the feed with garlic juice (add 10ml garlic juice per kilogram of feed).
4. Prevention suggestions given by professional organizations
The summer care guide issued by the China Ornamental Fish Association on July 16 specifically emphasizes:
| Precautions | Execution frequency | Things to note |
|---|---|---|
| Change water | 1/3 water per week | The temperature difference does not exceed 2℃ |
| Equipment cleaning | 1 time per month | No chemical detergents |
| quarantine observation | New fish quarantined for 7 days | Recommended 0.3% salt bath |
| Feed rotation | every 3 months | Gradual transition over 7 days |
5. Special precautions
1. High temperatures have persisted in many places recently. A video on Douyin's "Fish Farming Laboratory" on July 21 showed that water temperatures exceeding 32°C will cause metabolic disorders in Luohan fish. It is recommended to use a water cooler or fan to cool down.
2. Baidu Tieba received feedback from users on July 18 that some brands of sinking feed may cause difficulty in swallowing and can be tested with floating feed instead.
3. If the fish continues to refuse to eat for more than 5 days, the WeChat public account "Ornamental Fish Disease Atlas" recommends timely microscopic examination to rule out parasitic infections such as capillary nematodes.
Through analysis of recent Internet hot spots, it can be seen that the problem of Luohan fish refusing to eat is mostly related to environmental mutations. Systematically check the three major factors of water quality, feed, and health status, and you can usually resume eating within 3-5 days. It is recommended that breeders establish a fish keeping log to record temperature, feeding amount and other data to facilitate the discovery of problem patterns.
