White flocs on the fins of parrot fish may be caused by white spot disease, mainly due to low water temperature or large temperature difference. The breeder can raise the water temperature to 28 degrees, add coarse salt to the fish tank, then explode the oxygen, and wait for it to recover. It may also be Saprolegniasis, which is mainly caused by trauma without timely disinfection. Breeders can use mercurochrome to disinfect first, and then use 1 ppm potassium permanganate solution for medicinal bath for a week, which will be effective.
What reason is there is white flocculent thing on parrot fish fin? How to treat?

1. White spot disease

1. Cause: The main symptom of white spot disease is that the fish body or gills appear white. The main reason is that the water temperature is lower than 25 degrees or the water temperature drops sharply, so that the Ichthyophthirius has a suitable living environment. Because the water temperature suitable for the growth of Ichthyophthirius is 20-26 degrees, if the water temperature in the fish tank is lower than 26 degrees, Ichthyophthirius will invade the fish body, and then multiply in large numbers, causing the fish to get sick.

2. Treatment: The appropriate temperature for Ichthyophthirius is 20-26 degrees. The breeder can first raise the water temperature to 28 degrees, which will kill most of the Ichthyophthirius. Secondly, appropriate amount of salt can be added for disinfection, and the concentration of salt can be two thousandths. Finally, let the parrot fish have enough oxygen, so that it can completely kill the Ichthyophthirius.

2. Saprolegniasis

1. Causes: Saprolegniasis is mainly caused by injuries during transportation or fighting, which are not treated in time, leading to bacterial infection. Parrots infected by Saprolegniasis will have a layer of white floccule on their body surface, and there will be slow activity, loss of appetite, mental retardation and other phenomena.

2, remedial method: Want to isolate above all, prepare mercurochrome again, daub the place that is injured in fish body. Then take a medicated bath with 1 ppm potassium permanganate solution for 20 minutes each time for about a week, and then you can recover.
