Goldfish is the earliest species of ornamental fish in the world. Goldfish is easy to raise, its body is strange, colorful, generally golden, beautiful shape. Many people will keep goldfish at home as a kind of ornamental existence, but sometimes after goldfish cultivation for a period of time, they will find that there are white spots on their bodies. What is the matter?
Why are there white spots on Goldfish
The reason why goldfish grow white spots is that it suffers from white spot disease, which is caused by protozoa cantaloupe invading the skin or gill of the fish.
Because the water for goldfish farming is tap water, which is put into the fish tank without filtration or sterilization, and there is no temperature controller in the fish tank, so the temperature of tap water is generally below 25 degrees. Because the water in the tank is not often changed, the water will be dirty and produce small melon insects, and then enter the goldfish's body from the gills and mouth of the goldfish, and at the same time, it will stick to the skin surface of the goldfish , causing skin and organs to be infected by bacteria. Because of the strong growth ability and rapid reproduction of the small melon insect, it will soon spread all over the whole body of the goldfish, and finally become white spot disease, because the goldfish is infected by bacteria and causes complications that lead to the rapid death of the goldfish.
How to treat the white spots on Goldfish
1. Increase water temperature
When it is found that goldfish suffer from white spot disease in the early stage, it is easier to treat it. The breeder only needs to raise the water temperature of the aquarium to 28-30 ℃ to destroy the environment for the growth and reproduction of the small melon insect, so that the small melon insect adhering to the surface of goldfish will break and fall off in a few days. After the small melon insect falls off, it is necessary to replace the goldfish with new water in time to maintain the stability of the water temperature environment, so that the sick goldfish will slowly recover.
2. Use red mercury solution
After goldfish suffering from white spot disease, you can also choose 0.05% ~ 0.07% concentration of Red Mercury solution, and take medicine bath for 5-15 minutes every day, lasting for 2-3 days. Basically, white spot can be removed.
3. Treatment of 'urine brick'
There are a lot of fish friends, in the experiment, found that the use of 'urine brick' treatment is also very effective. The breeder can soak the new brick in urine for 24 hours, dry it and put it into the aquatic phase of the diseased fish, and see the effect of treatment in a few days.
4. Potassium permanganate immersion
Potassium permanganate is the most direct and effective way to kill poison or kill bacteria. When the goldfish is white, use low concentration potassium permanganate solution to wash or sprinkle it in the aquarium, and let the goldfish take a medicine bath. The goldfish will recover soon.
