If the injury is not treated in time, coupled with the deterioration of the water quality in the fish tank, the mouth of the parrot fish will be infected with bacteria and become black or white.

2, remedial method: Prophase can need not medication, because medicaments can produce harm to parrot fish more or less. The parrot fish can recover slowly by changing the water and maintaining the water quality in the fish tank.
