Ideal Water Parameters for Hito (Catfish) Farming
To ensure optimal growth and health of your hito, it's crucial to maintain ideal water parameters:
✅pH Level:
👉* Optimal Range: 6.5 to 7.5
👉* Importance: pH affects the availability of nutrients, oxygen uptake, and overall fish health.
✅Temperature:
👉* Optimal Range: 25°C to 30°C (77°F to 86°F)
👉 * Importance: Temperature influences the metabolic rate, growth rate, and reproductive cycle of hito.
✅Salinity:
👉 * Optimal Range: Freshwater (0 ppt)
👉 * Importance: Hito are freshwater fish and cannot tolerate high salinity levels.
✅Additional Considerations:
👉* Dissolved Oxygen: Adequate oxygen levels are essential for fish respiration. Aim for a dissolved oxygen level of at least 5 ppm.
👉* Ammonia and Nitrite: These are toxic compounds that can harm fish. Monitor and maintain low levels.
👉* Water Quality: Regular water quality testing and water changes can help maintain optimal conditions.
By closely monitoring and maintaining these water parameters, you can create a healthy and productive environment for your hito.
