1. Reason: It is normal for map fish to have mucus on their body, because they normally wrap a layer of mucus on their body surface, which can make them swim more smoothly. If it's not mucus visible to the naked eye, it's generally fine.
2. Solution: This situation is a normal phenomenon, and the breeder does not need to worry too much. If you feel that there is too much mucus on the map fish, you can change the water frequently.
1. Causes: There are many causes of Saprolegniasis, such as changing the new environment, the nitrification system in the fish tank has not been established. Or if the map fish is injured, the bacteria will take advantage of it. It is also possible that the amount of water changed is too large, resulting in a sudden change in PH value, causing the map fish to be stimulated and destroying the mucus on the surface of the fish. In the early stage of Saprolegniasis, the infection site is white floccule, and in the later stage, when it is more serious, plaques will appear, and there will be a lot of mucus around it.
2. Solution: After discovering that the fish is suffering from Saprolegniasis, you can first add coarse salt or baking soda to the fish tank for sterilization treatment. If the symptoms are serious, malachite green solution or methyl blue bath can be used, and the proportion can be adjusted according to 0.3 grams of 100 kilograms of water. You can take a medicated bath once a day for 10-20 minutes each time. If you stick to it for a week, the fungi will gradually fall off and the mucus will decrease.
