Goldfish may lose their swim bladders because of high levels of ammonia nitrogen in the water. At this time, nitrifying bacteria should be added to the fish tank to decompose ammonia nitrogen substances. It may also be caused by the lack of oxygen in fish. At this time, the oxygen pump should be used to continue to oxygenate the water for 7 to 10 days. It may also be due to intestinal indigestion of fish. At this time, the temperature of the environment where the fish live should be raised and feeding should be stopped. When it is serious, it needs to be supplemented with medication and fed with digestive tablets.
Why can goldfish lose swim bladder disease, how to treat?

1. Ammonia nitrogen content in water is too high

1. Cause: Ammonia nitrogen content in the water more, leading to fish poisoning.

2. Treatment: First of all, use a special test agent to determine the level of ammonia nitrogen content in the water. If the superscalar is small, a small amount of nitrifying bacteria can be added to the fish tank to decompose ammonia nitrogen in the water. If the standard is serious, all the water should be changed. After a complete nitrification system is re-established, the fish are put in.

Anoxia

1. Reason: The long time lack of oxygen, the fish does not have the sufficient oxygen for the swim bladder to maintain the balance, will contract loses the swim bladder sickness.

2. The treatment method is as follows: an oxygen supply pump is installed for the fish tank, and oxygen is continuously injected into the water. At the beginning, it takes 24 hours to continuously inject oxygen into the water. After about 7 to 10 days, the situation will gradually improve. At this time, oxygen time can be reduced, and oxygen can be supplied for 1 to 2 hours a day.

3. Intestinal indigestion

1. Reason: Feeding too much, the fish can not digest in time. This causes the fish's abdomen to swell. The swim bladder on both sides is squeezed, thus losing its function and making the fish out of balance.

2. Treatment: Increase the temperature of the environment in which the fish live, and stop feeding. Warm environment is conducive to fish swimming, promote gastrointestinal digestion. After a period of observation, if the fish condition improves, then slowly resume feeding. If the balance of the fish has not been improved, it is necessary to feed digestive tablets to promote its digestion.
