1. Cause: White spot disease is also known as Ichthyophthirius disease, mainly because the water temperature is too low, so that Ichthyophthirius can reproduce in large numbers. After the guppy is infected, the fish will have small white spots, and will also have the symptoms of refusing to eat, rubbing the tank, and being unable to swim.
2. Treatment method: In the early stage, the water temperature can be raised to 28 degrees to destroy the living environment of Ichthyophthirius. In the medium term, 0.05% mercurochrome solution can be used to give guppies a medicated bath once a day, 5-15 minutes each time, and it can be effective in about 3 days. Later, potassium permanganate solution can be sprinkled in the jar, or potassium permanganate solution can be mixed with water for medicinal bath. You can recover after a week.
1. Cause: Fish lice disease is an external parasitic infection, mainly caused by feeding live bait caught from the wild. When there are fish lice on the body surface of guppies, they will rub the tank in an attempt to rub off the fish lice. There may also be wild swimming, struggling, rolling and other phenomena.
2. Treatment: If fish lice are found in individual fish, and the number is not large, you can use tweezers to clip them off directly, and then apply purple liquid medicine. If the number of infected guppies is large, the water temperature can be raised first, and then coarse salt can be added to the tank. You can also use salt mixed with water to give guppies a medicinal bath, because fish lice are more afraid of salt and will leave the fish body when they meet salt.
