tropical fish suffer from white spot disease, the first thing to do is to suspend feeding. Because this disease will affect the appetite of the fish, causing it to become not like to eat, so feeding it at this time is also a waste, more importantly, food into the water will pollute the water, which is very harmful to the recovery of the fish, and may even lead to the aggravation of the disease, so it is necessary to stop eating. Generally, you have to wait until you recover before you can resume feeding. There is no need to worry that the fish will starve to death. The hunger tolerance of fish is very strong, and there will be no problem if you don't feed them for a week.
for the early stage of white spot disease, with the old three methods can be cured. The first step of the old three is to change the water, usually every other day, to improve the water quality as soon as possible. The second step is to raise the water temperature, which can speed up the metabolism and let the fish discharge harmful substances as soon as possible. In addition, when the water temperature rises to a certain extent, it can also eliminate Ichthyophthirius, thus curing the disease. The third step is to add salt to change the osmotic pressure of water, reduce the burden of kidney excretion and prevent bacterial invasion.
If the condition of white spot disease is serious, it can not be cured by the old three alone. At this time, drug treatment is needed. For example, methyl blue, malachite green, mercurous nitrate and so on, some of which are highly toxic and harmful to human body, so be careful before use and try to avoid direct contact.
