Water is "Air" for Them. Setting Up an Invisible Environment.

When we care about the physical condition of goldfish, we tend to follow only the state of the "fish itself" with our eyes.But the true key to supporting their health lies in the invisible environment called "water" that envelops their bodies.Juane * here.Hello.

Today, I would like to talk about the deep relationship between water and life, which is the "foundation of life" for goldfish.

Living in "Air" with no escape

We humans can open windows or move to another place if the air is dirty.

However, for goldfish living in the limited world of an aquarium, water is "air" itself with no escape.Breathing, touching delicate scales, everything is that water.When goldfish get sick, many of the triggers are that this "air = water" is in a painful state for them.

Even if it is invisible, the balance to protect life is maintained moment by moment in the water.

Rich circulation beyond "clean"

"Transparent and shiny water" that we tend to seek and "water where goldfish can rest from the bottom of their hearts" are not necessarily the same.

Small "bacteria" invisible to our eyes live in the fish tank.They decompose goldfish excrement etc.and adjust the water to a harmless state.Water with stable invisible "circulation of life" creates true health for goldfish.If you change to too new water and these small collaborators disappear, goldfish may rather lose their physical strength.

There is rich circulation in purity.That is the best secret to bring out their original strength.

Thinking about invisible connections

When I think about this quiet circulation unfolding in the water, I feel that it has something in common with the way of our human society.Not only visible gorgeousness, but also the foundation that supports it and mutual help in invisible places.The figure living in harmony with the environment seems to teach the way of life itself.

Adjusting water wishing for the health of goldfish may not be just breeding work, but a very creative activity of cherishing one world and living together.

To protect comfortable "fluctuation"

When goldfish scales shine glossily and they are swimming with their dorsal fins raised high.That is proof that the "air" surrounding them is comfortably harmonious.Daily water changes and observations are precious dialogue times to arrange the world they live in more richly.

We, Jun * Juane, also hope to deliver the beauty of that quiet and pure "environment nurturing life" through our works.

Nitrogen Cycle(Filtration Cycle): A process in which bacteria decompose harmful ammonia generated from fish excrement into nitrite and further into less toxic nitrate.It is the most basic ecosystem mechanism in maintaining the health of ornamental fish.

Osmotic Pressure and Environmental Stress: It has been scientifically proven that rapid changes in water quality(pH and hardness) place a heavy load on "osmotic pressure adjustment" that regulates the water content in the body of goldfish, causing a decline in immunity and illness.
