Key advice includes proper water preparation, selecting healthy fish seeds, and the importance of acclimatization. The speaker emphasizes avoiding immediate feeding after release, maintaining appropriate feeding quantities, and performing regular water changes to ensure a healthy environment. Additionally, the video highlights the significance of a calm water setting for gourami, immediate response to fish mortality, and care after heavy rain. With personal experience, the speaker aims to help viewers achieve successful breeding and avoid common pitfalls.

Takeaways

• 🌊 Prepare the pond and water at least 7 days before introducing Gurame fish to ensure a healthy environment.
• 🚰 If using tap water, allow it to sit for at least 3-7 days to let chlorine dissipate before adding it to the pond.
• 🐟 Select healthy fish fry that are lively and found at the bottom of the tank; avoid those at the surface as they may be sick.
• 🌡️ Always acclimatize fish fry to match the pond temperature to prevent stress and mortality during the transition.
• 🚑 Isolate any sick fish immediately to prevent the spread of disease to healthy fish.
• 🍽️ Feed the fish the appropriate amount (about 2% of their body weight) and remove any uneaten food to maintain water quality.
• 💧 Change 30-50% of the water weekly to prevent the buildup of harmful substances and maintain a clean environment.
• 🤫 Limit excessive water movement, as Gurame fish prefer calm waters for optimal growth and health.
• ⚠️ Remove any dead fish immediately to prevent contamination of the water, which can lead to mass mortality.
• 🌧️ After heavy rain, perform water changes to address pH changes and refrain from feeding fish during this period.

Q & A

What is the importance of preparing water before introducing gourami fish?

Preparing water is crucial because it ensures a safe and stable environment for the fish. The water should be treated and allowed to sit for at least seven days to reduce harmful substances, like chlorine.

How should PDAM water be treated before using it in a gourami pond?

PDAM water must be left to sit for at least 7 days or, at minimum, 3 days to allow the chlorine to dissipate. This treatment helps to reduce the risk of harming the fish.

What characteristics should be looked for when selecting healthy gourami fish seeds?

Healthy gourami fish seeds should be active and located at the bottom of the pond. Fish found at the surface may be sick or stressed and are likely to die if chosen.

What does acclimatization involve when introducing new fish to the pond?

Akimatisasi (acclimatization) involves gradually adjusting the temperature of the fish in the bag to match the pond water. This process helps to prevent stress due to sudden temperature changes.

What should be done if sick fish are observed after introduction?

Sick fish should be immediately separated from the healthy ones to prevent the spread of disease. They can be placed in a small container with treated water until they recover.

Why is it important to monitor and control the feeding of gourami fish?

Monitoring feeding is essential to avoid overfeeding, which can lead to leftover food decomposing in the pond. Decomposing food produces ammonia and toxins that can harm the fish.

How often should water changes be performed in a gourami pond?

Water changes should be performed weekly, changing about 30-50% of the water. This helps maintain water quality and prevents the buildup of harmful bacteria.

What is the recommended feeding percentage for gourami fish?

The recommended feeding amount is about 2% of the fish's body weight. This helps ensure the fish are properly nourished without overfeeding.

What should be done if any fish die in the pond?

Any dead fish should be promptly removed from the pond to prevent contamination of the water. Allowing dead fish to remain can lead to the spread of disease and mass mortality.

How should one react to changes in water quality after heavy rain?

After heavy rain, it may be necessary to perform a water change to maintain quality. It's also advisable to avoid feeding the fish immediately due to potential stress from pH changes.
