BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a breeding tool for feeding chemicals and feed to ornamental fish in an aquarium.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There are an increasing number of lovers who watch goldfish and tropical fish while keeping them in a water tank. As the number of such fish lovers has increased, breeding equipment has been improved, the variety of aquatic plants and food has increased, and knowledge of proper water changes has become widespread. At the same time, the method of treatment for fish diseases can be properly treated. Nevertheless, in homes where there are many absences, it is not always possible to feed drugs and feeds to fish, so that a large amount of drugs and feeds are often put into a tank at one time. This water is generated Bakuteri A <br/>, overgrowth aquatic plants, lack of oxygen in the water, spread of pathogens, and cause clogging of the filtration device, which is not preferable. However, a delay in the administration time of a drug or the like causes death of the fish, so it is difficult to breed ornamental fish in a home where there are many absences.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art by administering a small amount of a drug or feed to a fish over time.

[0004]

According to the present invention, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a liquid such as a medicine in a bottle can be slowly and littlely administered into a water tank.

Specifically, the present invention relates to a hanging tool suspended on the edge of or in a water tank, a bottle supported by the hanging tool with an opening facing downward, a medicine packed in the bottle, and a small amount of feed. The present invention provides an ornamental fish breeding tool that has a liquid containing at least one of them and a bottle made of a material that shrinks due to a change in temperature, and supplies the liquid into a water tank.

[0006] The present invention further provides a breeding tool in which a bottle containing a liquid is disposed with the opening facing downward in a passage in a water tank for clean air supplied from an air pump.

[0007]

[Action] was suspended from the rim or the aquarium water tank bottle, since the opening in the bottom is filled with liquid therein, bottle water
When it is away from the surface (FIG. 1), the internal air portion tends to have a negative pressure and there is no dripping of liquid. However, when the temperature rises during the day, the internal air expands, and the internal air tends to have a negative pressure while dripping the liquid. When the temperature drops, the pressure in the portion becomes considerably negative. Therefore, air is sucked from the outside through the liquid to maintain the positive pressure. The liquid is dropped little by little by such repetition. On the other hand, depending on the weather and season,
The temperature difference at night is so small that the desired amount of liquid dripping cannot be obtained
There are cases. For example, in such a case,
Drugs use a known phenomenon that drugs can diffuse into water
The entire bottle under the water and open the bottle in the water tank.
By doing so, a desired liquid supply amount can be secured.
If the bottle is under water (Figure 3), as is known, the bottle
Drugs in the torr diffuse into the aquarium due to the entropy effect
And the water in the water tank penetrates into the bottle and concentrates inside and outside the bottle.
Mutual mass transfer occurs slowly until the temperature reaches equilibrium.
Will be This equilibrium condition makes the liquid in the bottle safe for fish
By coloring with a highly pigment, water in the bottle
It is possible to grasp as the time that matches the water color of the tank
is there.

[0008] When a more rapid supply of a chemical solution is required,
It can be achieved by distributing in the downward passage of the clean air an opening of the bottle from the air pump. In this case, some bubbles of clean air enter the bottle, and the liquid in the bottle is further sent out into the water tank. That is, clean air from the air pump
Depending on the location of the air passage and the opening of the bottle,
The rate of administration of the agent can be adjusted. In this case, the pump
Even if the bottle stops, the entropy effect
The drug in it can diffuse slowly into the water. Thus, it is possible to administer an appropriate amount of a drug or feed to the fish even while away from home.

[0009]

[ Example 1] An ornamental fish is put in water in a water tank 1 together with aquatic plants, rocks and sand.
Water is kept warm, filtered, and circulated by a pump as necessary. A hanging tool 4 having a ring 2 made of a wire or the like and having a hook 3 is hooked on the upper edge of the water tank 1. The bottle 5 with its opening facing downward is hung on the hanger 3. That is, the body portion 7 of bottle 5 through the inner ring 2, downward causes hanging up a bottle 5 by the load block 4.

The bottle 5 is made of a synthetic resin and is thin.
The opening 6 has a longer diameter than the body 7. Preferably, the bottle 5 is made of a material that expands and contracts due to changes in the outside air temperature or the internal air pressure and the thickness. Opening 6 is horizontal 8
A few centimeters above.

The liquid in the bottle 5 is methylene blue for white spot disease, quinine sulfate, quinine hydrochloride, acriflavine, San Ace, Hytropical, green aquamarine, green F, penicillin, acromycin, and balazin for various bacterial diseases. D, potassium permanganate, green F gold, elvazine, barazane, tropical N for pests, and a drug in which one or two or more of them are mixed are included. The liquid in the bottle 5 may contain a compound feed. In addition, the liquid is the bacteria generated in the water.
A) Agents for disinfecting plankton , agents for controlling the growth of aquatic plants and mosses, ammonia harmful to fish, and sources of cloudiness in water
Water-purifying bacteria that remove organic substances that cause the contamination, or feed for aquatic plants may be added. In any case, the liquid shall contain at least one of various drugs and feed.

When the bottle 5 is suspended from the water tank 1 in the state shown in FIG. 1, the bottle 5 is divided into an air portion and a liquid portion,
The liquid is dripped into water until the air part has a negative pressure tendency. When the air part has a negative pressure tendency, the dripping is stopped. When the outside air temperature rises during the day, the internal air portion expands and the pressure increases, and the internal pressure tends to be negative while the liquid is dropped. At night when the outside temperature falls, the air portion becomes more negative pressure, and air is introduced from outside through a liquid to maintain the atmospheric pressure. The liquid is dropped while following such a change in the outside air temperature.

[0013] Examples shown in Example 2 FIG. 3, the agent described above, the bottle 5 which dedicated liquid feed components such as in the downward water tank 1, and a bottle
The bottom surface of the water 8 is intended to be positioned in parallel. On the other hand, the air pump 9 is combined with the water tank 1, and the filter 10 is positioned at an appropriate position on the bottom surface of the water tank 1. From the filter 10, the clean air is supplied into the water tank in the form of foam . Bottle 5
The opening is positioned in the path of the clean air, is input into the bottle 5 through the opening portion of the air it becomes foamy. this
Is more than it would be if it were located outside the aisle
Liquid becomes possible to flow out in the water tank, accelerate the outflow rate
Can be The opening of the bottle 5 is made small in the form of an ampule so that the internal liquid flows into the water tank little by little. Po
Stopping the pump or substantially the same as stopping the pump
The state where the opening of the bottle 5 in the state is placed outside the passage of the clean air
In the state, the medicine in the bottle 5 is caused by the entropy effect.
Water diffuses into the water tank and the water in the water tank penetrates into the bottle 5
Slowly until the concentrations inside and outside the bottle reach an equilibrium state.
Mutual mass transfer takes place, that is, the liquid in the bottle 5
It will flow out into the boring tank.

The holding of the bottle 5 in the water tank 1
The wire 11 wound around the body is held by the filter 10. Alternatively, the wire 11 wound around the body of the bottle 5 may be locked to the edge of the water tank 1.

[0015]

[Effect] According to the present invention, the position of the opening of the bottle is adjusted to the water surface.
Depending on whether you keep it above or below the surface,
The feed rate of the agent and feed can be freely adjusted, and the agent and feed can be automatically supplied in an appropriate amount within an appropriate time according to the purpose, thereby enabling healthy breeding of ornamental fish, , Making it possible to breed ornamental fish in homes where many people are away. In addition, the bottle
With the pump in the passage of clean air from the pump,
Even if you stop, the medicine in the bottle will be
Can diffuse slowly into the aquarium.
