Why water in an aquarium grows turbid?
Turbidity of water in an aquarium can occur for the different reasons; to struggle with these phenomena not always it is easy. In the most harmless case water grows turbid because of the fine particles of a ground weighed in it, for example, after careless filling waters in an aquarium. Such turbidity has no unpleasant consequences and after a while disappears in itself when dregs will settle on a bottom.
Water in an aquarium grows turbid from occurrence in it of a plenty of the putrefactive bacteria very harmful not only for fishes, but also for water plants. The reason of occurrence of such bacteria wrong feeding and excessively dense landing of fishes in an aquarium. For a good filtration of water on a bottom of an aquarium it is necessary to fill the coarse-grained, purely washed out river sand, it is desirable dark color, a layer 4 see Full change of water in an aquarium to spend does not follow, it is necessary to clean periodically only rubber (glass) tube a dirt from a bottom and to add fresh water of the same temperature. Correctly equipped and well containing aquarium can stand years without change of water. In it so-called biological balance is established. Norm of landing of a fish 2 - 3 pieces in the size 3 - 5 cm on 1 - 3 litres of water.
The basic troubles arise because of wrong feeding. First of all it is necessary to refuse dry forages: fishes eat a dry forage badly enough, and from it water very quickly spoils. If it is necessary to resort to a dry forage it should be given gradually and to watch, that all forage was eaten immediately. The greater help is rendered here by the snails willingly eating the rests of a forage. Correctly made diet should include alive forages necessarily. One of the best forages is butterfly. To give it follows, proceeding from norm 3 5 worm in day on each adult small fish of the small sizes.
It is necessary to watch, that any forage was eaten for 10 - 15 minutes: the constant finding of a forage at the bottom of an aquarium is inadmissible. A good forage are also worm-tube, however they should be washed out very carefully in pure water from a dirt before giving small fishes. As a fine forage serves Koretra transparent floating larva one of kinds of mosquitoes. It is not dug in in a ground, long lives in an aquarium and very much is willingly eaten by fishes. In house conditions easily get divorced rain-worm in a small box from the ground. As a good forage serve Dafnia and Cyclopses who can be caught most in any pool by means of a net from dense kapron.
At known experience and skill it is possible to feed up small fishes скобленым crude meat, but it is necessary to do it with the greatest care: water from meat spoils very quickly. If water has grown turbid, it is necessary to stop feeding for some days: bacteria will be lost, and it will not cause small fishes of harm. And still there is one rule: it is better to underfeed, than to overfeed. At observance of these conditions water in an aquarium will be transparent.
It is a lot of beginners аквариумистов at cleaning an aquarium of small capacity completely replace in it water, replacing fishes and taking out plants. Thus fishes are injured and plants spoil. It is quite often possible to hear the application full of affliction: " The is more often I change water, the it grows turbid " more. It corresponds to the validity.
In anew equipped aquarium in the first some days water can be muddy because of strong duplication of unicells. After the aquarium is prepared and filled in by water, it is necessary to have patience and to not hasten from it fish put in. As a rule, for the second-third day water in an aquarium becomes muddy, as if in it some drops of milk because after full replacement of water after a while the microorganisms brought in an aquarium with fishes and plants usually roughly develop have dripped, and water grows turbid not from weed particles, and from infusorians, arises so-called " Infusorian dregs ".
Rough duplication of bacteria can be shown in your aquarium each time at replacement of a plenty of water and also when you will forget to clean in time from an aquarium the rests of not eaten forage (especially dry), decaying plants. Such turbidity if to eliminate its reason and some time to wait, passes.
In an aquarium constantly there are interconnected biological and chemical processes as a result of which one animal and vegetative organisms are born, others - perish.
The huge weight of bacteria living in thickness of water and in a ground processes products of disintegration and ability to live of plants, the rests of a forage, excrement of fishes. Bacteria in turn are food for infusorians, etc.
If to not change water on new as it is done by many not skilled aquarium-men, been frightened of turbidity in a week-other bacterial dregs disappears also water becomes crystal-clear. To accelerate this process it is possible, adding in water of a new aquarium small volume of water from old.
In the overpopulated aquarium there can be a turbidity of water, especially if in it there are not enough plants, and water is not blown and not filtered. Accumulating products of an exchange serve in such aquarium a good nutrient medium for mass duplication of bacteria and monocelled. In this case it is necessary to transplant superfluous fishes quickly. If in time to not correct position, it can lead to disease and even to mass destruction of fishes, let alone that such aquarium looks ugly.
The fishes rummaging a ground, also can cause turbidity of water. Such turbidity is harmless, and it is easy for eliminating, having increased the top layer of purely washed out sand at the bottom of an aquarium.
