JPH089895A - Feed for aquarium fish - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain flaked feed for aquarium fishes rich in nutritive value, increasing the rate of the growth of fishes, improving the color generation of red aquarium fishes, and not giving such a side effect such as that of an artificial colorant by subjecting a water-containing material comprising fish meal, photosynthesizing bacteria, and an adhesive agent to a thermal drying treatment. CONSTITUTION:Fish meal such as white fish meal, photosynthesizing bacteria, and an adhesive agent such as wheat flour are mixed e.g. in a mixing ratio of 80:5:15, and the obtained water-containing material 2 is thinly spread on the periphery of a drum 1 and subsequently thermally dried e.g. at 190.6 deg.C for 3-5min with the rotation of the drum 1 to obtain the objective flaked feed 3.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to a bait for ornamental fish,
More specifically, the present invention relates to a bait for ornamental fish that is rich in nutritive value and has an effect of improving the coloration of red ornamental fish.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, it has been known that bait for ornamental fish is obtained by heating a water-containing material of fish powder mixed with an adhesive to form flakes.

[0003]

However, as a result of clinical tests, the inventors of the present application have found that the above-mentioned bait follows the conventional bait for cultured fish, and is bred only for appreciation in a small aquarium. I noticed that it is not always possible to consider the characteristics of the fish being watched. Specifically, in raising the above-mentioned ornamental fish, while increasing the growth rate so that it can be used for ornamentation in a short time after purchase, it also gives resistance to various diseases, while obtaining a higher ornamental effect. Therefore, it is considered desirable to have a bait that has the effect of improving the coloration of the ornamental fish.

The present invention was created for the purpose of increasing the nutritive value and realizing the effect of improving the color development of red-colored ornamental fish in the above-mentioned bait.

[0005]

That is, the present invention provides fish meal,
It is characterized in that a water-containing substance composed of photosynthetic bacteria and an adhesive is heat-dried to form a flake.

[0006]

In the rearing of ornamental fish, it is known to use a photosynthetic bacterium that takes in ammonia in water and converts it into an amino acid in the cell in order to improve the water quality in the aquarium. However, this focuses on the biological action of the photosynthetic bacterium and uses it only in the biological state, and the purpose and action of the photosynthetic bacterium differ from the case of the present invention in that the purpose is to improve water quality. .

In view of the above-mentioned object of the present invention, the inventor of the present invention has found that the components of photosynthetic bacteria are very effective in constituting the invention.

First, Table 1 is a table showing the results of comparing the amino acid tissue (g / 100 g dry weight) of photosynthetic bacteria with other bacteria.

[Table 1]

Table 2 is a table showing the results of comparing the proportion (%) of the general constituent tissue of photosynthetic bacteria with other bacteria and foods.

[0011]

[Table 2]

Table 3 is a table showing the vitamin content in 1 liter of photosynthetic bacteria.

[0013]

[Table 3]

Table 4 is a table showing the content of active ingredients of photosynthetic bacteria.

[0015]

[Table 4]

In the present invention, the photosynthetic bacteria are heated and dried together with other raw materials, so they are not used in a living state.

However, when focusing on the component,
By giving this to the ornamental fish as a feed, it produces an action of ingesting various nutrients including various vitamins.

Further, the carotenoid contained in a large amount in the component has a red pigment, and by ingesting this carotenoid, an action of promoting color development of red-colored ornamental fish occurs.

[0019]

[Example] Water was added to a mixture of 15% of wheat flour and 5% of photosynthetic bacteria mixed with 80% of white fish meal and stirred.

The mixture 2 is thinly laid around the drum 1 and heated at 190.6 ° C. for 3 to 5 minutes while rotating the drum (see FIG. 1).

Next, the mixture 2 is laid on the drum 1 and dried with warm air at 60 ° C. for 10 minutes.

In the above process, the dried mixture 2 is flaked off from the drum 1 by the warm air to obtain flaky baits 3 (see FIG. 2).

[0023]

According to the present invention having the above structure,
The abundant nutrients contained in photosynthetic bacteria increase the growth rate of ornamental fish, and also have the effect of imparting resistance to various diseases, and the carotenoids contained in photosynthetic bacteria promote the coloring of reddish ornamental fish. The effect is achieved.

With respect to the above carotenoids in particular, no one has paid attention to this component of photosynthetic bacteria in the past, and it does not cause side effects like artificial pigments, and on the contrary, a rich nutrient of photosynthetic bacteria is ingested at the same time. It is a very useful invention that has a positive effect and promotes the effect of watching fish.
