Koi fish suddenly run around after adding salt, probably because they add too much salt. Adding too much salt will cause the water in the koi to seep out, causing the koi to begin to struggle, and if the water is not changed in time, they will dehydrate and die. So change the water as soon as possible when the koi runs around, and the next time you add salt, you'd better add it according to the proportion of five thousandths. It may also be because of the wrong salt, edible salt can not be put, need to put special salt, otherwise it will cause damage to the respiratory system of Koi.
1. Why does the koi suddenly run around
after adding salt? 1. Add too much salt: Excessive salt will reduce the water in the body of the koi, leading to dehydration and death of the koi. After dehydration, the koi will struggle, just like running around. In fact, this is the distress signal of the koi, which needs to be dealt with as soon as possible.
2. Wrong type: There are many types of salt. Some breeders directly add edible salt for convenience. This is wrong, because the edible salt at home contains iodine, which will cause damage to the respiratory system of the koi. After a long time, the koi will not be able to breathe, so they have been running around to seek help. 1
. Change the water in time: If you find that the salt concentration in the water is high, you can change the water first, but the amount of water should not exceed half. Then you can add water to dilute the concentration of salt. When adding water, you need to pay attention to the temperature of the new water and try to keep it consistent with the old water. If the situation is serious, they can be replaced with a new container. The water in the new container can be salted at the rate of five thousandths or not. Then directly change the koi into new water.
2. Apply special salt: Generally, household edible salt contains iodine, which will cause damage to the respiratory system of koi, so the best choice for salt is coarse salt or special salt for cold-water fish. If the salt is misplaced, it can also be solved by changing the water.
