Arowana fish cultivation is not only done in large ponds. However, we can do aquaculture fish in the aquarium. It is quite easy to do and does not cost too much. There are several steps that must be done to be able to cultivate in the aquarium.
Prepare Media For Cultivation
The first step in the cultivation of arowana fish is to prepare media for the cultivation of the aquarium and its equipment. The number of aquariums required for Arowana fish culture is about 4-5 aquariums. Meanwhile, the equipment that needs to be provided is a temperature measuring device, aerator, heater, water filter, and lights.
Determining Arwana Fish that will be cultivated
The second step, you must determine what type of arowana fish you will cultivate. Because the type of ornamental fish Arowana very much. If you want to get a lot of profit, you can choose arowana super red fish for you cultivate. Because this type of fish has a fairly expensive price of about 5 million rupiah for adult Arowana and its seed is about 1 million rupiah / ekor. In addition, super red fish arowana also many peminatnya. However, if you do not have a lot of capital, then you can choose other arowana fish alternatives, such as Arwana silver fish. Because the price of arowana fish silver is not too expensive.
Preparing the best Arwana Fish Parent
The quality of broodstock fish that will be bred greatly affects the results obtained. If the breed used has good quality, then most likely the results obtained will also be good, and vice versa. Therefore, choose the best breeders to breed.
Arwana fish that are ready for breeding is arowana fish that have age about 4 year or more. Try this arowana fish is separated with other arowana fish. Why? Because arowana fish that will be cultivated should be given special food, namely shrimp. Meanwhile, the way to distinguish between male Arowana with a female is to see the size of the body and fish head. If the body size and fish head is small, then the fish is female arowana fish.
Time to Breed
The next step is we need to understand which arowana fish have found their partner. The way to find out arowana fish have found their partner or not is to pay attention to arowana fish in the aquarium. If there are two different Arowana fish often swim side by side with head and tail stick together, then surely that arowana fish has found her partner. When you see an Arowana like that, you must immediately move the two Arowana fish into a special aquarium for breeding.
Aquariums used for breeding should be changed in such a way as to be comfortable for arwananya fish. For the process of laying, arowana fish do not need help. Because the male Arowana fish eat eggs after the female arowana remove the eggs. In fact, male arowana fish actually fertilize the eggs tesebut out into larvae. Larvae issued by male arowana fish is usually 8 weeks old.
Seed enlargement
Arwana fish seeds that are still about 1 cm in size should be fed the tapeworm. After the seeds grow to size of about 12 cm. After the seeds are 12 cm in size, the seeds should be separated with the parent. Because the mother of arowana fish will most likely eat the seeds when they are hungry.
