What are the considerations when we will keep ornamental fish at home? One of them is the beauty of the color of the ornamental fish itself. Tiger severum fish is a type of freshwater fish originating from the Rio Negro River in Colombia. This fish has black, red, and green colors. This fish is also known as Red Tiger Severum. Usually when starting to keep Tiger severum fish in an aquarium, we definitely need a lot of information on how to start keeping these fish in an aquarium.

The aquarium used is generally rectangular in shape.  2. Water quality. Water quality certainly needs to be maintained so that the Tiger severum fish can grow hea...

One way to increase the production of aquaculture is by applying aquaculture technology. One example of the application of technology in aquaculture is the use of waterwheels and the application of fish farming with the Recirculation Aquaculture System (RAS).  Fish generally require oxygen for breathing and metabolism. Lack of oxygen can cause fish to become stressed, sick, or even die.  (shutterstock.com) The oxygen content required by fish varies depending on the type of fish and its life stage: 1. Fish in the spawning, egg, and larval stages: Requires up to 6 mg/L of oxygen. 2. Freshwater farmed fish: Requires DO (Dissolved Oxygen) 4-6 mg/L. 3. Shrimp: Requires DO 4-8 mg/L. 4. Tilapia: Requires 7 ppm dissolved oxygen. To increase fisheries production, the amount of harvest must be increased. One way to increase the amount of fish farming production is by applying intensive fish farming techniques with high stocking densities. Intensive fish farming with high stockin...

Disease attack on cultured fish can be prevented if the culture environment where the fish live and develop is in a healthy condition. Proper preparation of the culture pond, which includes drying, liming and salting, can also prevent the occurrence of disease in fish. The environment where fish are kept can be the cause of fish disease. If the environment does not meet the standards recommended in good fish farming, the fish will be susceptible to disease. Generally, fish diseases will arise if the fish and the environment are not in balance. Disease caused by the environment.  The environment as a place for fish maintenance cultivation media affects the problem of disease attacks. Generally, fish diseases caused by environmental factors cause considerable losses, because these deaths occur and last very briefly and generally kill the entire number of fish being kept. Diseases that kill the entire fish population usually occur due to turnover in the environment where fish are kept...

Fish that are kept either in ponds or in aquariums must be healthy, because healthy fish can grow and develop well. The health status of fish kept in the cultivation medium is influenced by several factors, namely Genetics, Nutrition, Environment and Pathogens.  These four factors influence each other and can be used as a strategy for managing fish health and the environment.  (shutterstock.com) 1. Genetics.  Avoid In-breeding Seeds. Seeds produced from In breeding results have several disadvantages, namely stunted fish growth, susceptible to pathogen infection. To avoid the occurrence of genetic decline due to the results of in breeding, the application of Good Fish Hatchery Methods and Good Fish Cultivation Methods needs to be carried out by fish farmers.  2. Nutrition.  Nutrition has an important influence on the health of the fish being raised. Good nutrition can be obtained from what type of fish feed is given. Fish feed that is given the right type, quanti...
