The white hair of parrot fish may be due to Saprolegniasis. Saprolegniasis, also known as white disease, the main symptom of the disease is that the fish body is covered with white silk, which looks like white hair. The cause of Saprolegniasis is the bacterial infection caused by the injury of parrot fish in transportation and fighting. Or an infection caused by parasites in the fish. Saprolegniasis can be treated directly by applying mercurochrome to the wound or by taking a bath with potassium permanganate solution.
1. what is the reason for
the white hair of parrot fish? The white hair of parrot fish may be due to Saprolegniasis. Because the early symptom of Saprolegniasis is that the fish body is covered with white nebula, especially the black and red fish body is the most obvious. In the middle stage, parrot fish will be slow in action and sluggish in reaction. Later, the affected area will rot, stop eating, and mold will spread all over the body until death. The main cause of Saprolegniasis is bacterial infection, such as accidentally rubbing the skin of parrot fish during transportation, or the injury of parrot fish during fighting, causing bacteria to enter the body from the wound, which is easy to cause infection. It is also possible that there are parasites on the body surface, and bacteria enter the fish through parasites.
If it is saprolegniasis, you can fish out the parrot fish in the early stage, dry the water on the surface of the fish, smear it with mercurochrome or other bactericidal drugs, smear it 2-3 times a day, and stick to it for about 7 days. In the later stage, potassium permanganate solution or furacilin solution can be used for medicated bath once a day for 20 minutes each time. It will be better in a week or so. Saprolegniasis is mainly caused by bacterial infection. Breeders can effectively avoid infection with Saprolegniasis by changing water frequently and maintaining good water quality.
