and find that the fish is covered with white spots, first of all, isolate it, do not let it endanger the healthy fish. Isolation usually needs to prepare a container, which should be poured into the original tank of water, not completely with new water, which will cause the fish to be stimulated, and may even aggravate the disease, which is not conducive to their recovery.
because the appetite of fish will decrease after illness, so it is necessary to suspend feeding. Do not worry that it will starve to death, the hunger tolerance of fish is relatively strong, one or two weeks without feeding will not be a problem, if the feeding does not eat, the residual bait will pollute the water body, but will play a negative role in its recovery. When the disease is cured, they need to be fed again.
white spot disease is Ichthyophthirius. The best way to eliminate this parasite is to raise the water temperature. It can only adapt to lower temperatures. Once the water temperature rises to 25 C, Ichthyophthirius will stop growing. When it reaches 28 C, they will die in large numbers, and then the disease will be controlled. And slowly recovered.
Medication is mainly aimed at the late stage of white spot disease. There are many drugs that can be used, but it is recommended to use Baidianjing. Compared with many other toxic drugs, its side effects are relatively small. After mixing it into solution, soak the fish for 1 minute, three times a day. It usually takes 5-10 days for the fish to recover.
