Why does the koi lie on its side and how to solve it

Lack of oxygen: Koi lying on its side may be caused by lack of oxygen. At this time, oxygen should be added in time to ensure that the dissolved oxygen in the water is sufficient. | | Swim bladder disease: It may also be caused by swim bladder disease, which can not be cured in general. It can only ensure that the water temperature is constant and wait for them to recover by themselves. | | Bacterial infection: It may also be caused by diseases caused by bacterial infection, such as white spot disease, saprolegniasis, etc. In this case, the breeder needs to identify what the disease is first and then treat it symptomatically.

1. Lack of oxygen

1. Reasons: Koi lying on its side may be due to insufficient oxygen. The main reasons for insufficient oxygen in water are poor water quality and low feeding density.

2. Solution: Breeders can change a small amount of water in time to ensure fresh water quality. Install oxygen pumps to ensure sufficient dissolved oxygen in the water. The main reason

for koi to suffer from fish disease is that the temperature difference is too large. If the temperature rises or drops suddenly in a short time, it is easy to stimulate koi and suffer from fish disease. It may also be because of the size of the body, the general abdominal hypertrophy, the shorter body length of the koi is prone to fish disease.
2. Solution: Fish bladder disease cannot be cured, and breeders can only try their best to regulate it. The water temperature needs to be kept constant during the conditioning period, and if it can return to normal within a week, it will be no problem. If it does not return to normal within a week, it is unlikely to recover later.

3. Bacterial infection

1. Cause: Poor water quality and improper feeding are very susceptible to bacterial infection. Koi will move slowly or be unable to control their own balance after suffering from white spot disease, Saprolegniasis and other diseases.

2. Solution: The breeder needs to change the water in time to ensure the water quality is clean. Then take a medicated bath with potassium permanganate solution once a day for a week, and you can recover.
