How can you buy good giant salamander fry

How can you buy good giant salamander fry? When buying giant salamander fry, breeders often cannot identify the fry correctly. Below is the relevant information to keep in mind when buying giant salamander fry:

1. It is best to buy fry naturally bred in mountain streams; they have good resistance and strong immunity!

2. Before buying, stop feeding them for 1-3 days first, so that during transport the fish will not vomit food and burst their bellies, especially the fry.

3. Before buying fry, first pick out the undersized ones, then the damaged fish, and pick out the diseased fry first; only at the end do you count them and pack them into boxes.

4. Giant salamander fry fear heat but not cold. During transport, it is best to add ice bottles under the box lid. Temperature is the fundamental factor causing death on the road, so low temperature is the best approach.

5. Also, after returning home, do not rush to open the box and release the fish. First let the fish rest in the box for about an hour; the bumping along the road can cause motion sickness in the fish.

6. Very important: you must measure the water temperature in the box and the water temperature in the pond. The difference should ideally be 1-2 degrees. If the difference is too large, the fish cannot take it. Fish are ectothermic animals, and they must change temperature slowly to adapt! For 4-5 cm fry, you should be even more careful about temperature changes. If the water in the box is 1 degree warmer and the pond water is 1 degree cooler, it is nothing much, but if the pond water is warmer and the difference exceeds 2 degrees, it will kill the fry with heat. Many beginners often kill the fish right after bringing them home because of water temperature, yet still blame the fry for being wrong, and quite a few call to curse the people who sold the fry.

7. After buying giant salamander fry and bringing them home, first put them in the pond to acclimatise for a few days, then use sterilising water to reduce inflammation and sterilise them. Never use potassium permanganate or malachite green to disinfect and sterilise them. Anyone who tells you to do so is harming you. Some people even use bleaching powder to sterilise the fish; this is a huge mistake. There are plenty of people who cannot find the reason even after the fish die. Many people read a lot online, remember some wrong methods, and forget the good methods. There are plenty of such people. If you have never raised them, the best policy is to ask someone who has first. Pretending to know only harms you and empties your wallet!
