How long is the life span of Dutch phoenix fish and what diseases are easy to get?

The life span of the Dutch phoenix fish is usually about 2-3 years. It should be noted that the drug resistance of this kind of fish is very poor, so attention should be paid to the prevention of diseases in advance, and treatment should be carried out at the first time after illness, otherwise it is easy to die in advance. White spot disease is a common disease when raising Dutch phoenix fish. White spots will appear on the body surface of the diseased fish and gradually expand. When diseased fish are found, they need to be fished out and isolated, feeding should be suspended, and the temperature of the water should be raised appropriately to treat them.

1. How long

is the life span of Dutch phoenix fish? The life span of Dutch phoenix fish is about 2-3 years. Because they are not resistant to drugs, once they get sick, they will be more troublesome, so they must be treated at the first time after they get sick, and if they are treated late, they will die early. The Dutch phoenix fish is a small tropical fish, which can grow to about 6-8 centimeters. Usually, a good growing environment can make them grow bigger. Therefore, the fish tank should have enough space for activities, pay attention to feeding bait regularly, and change water regularly to improve water quality, which are very helpful to the growth of fish.

White spot disease is a common disease of Dutch phoenix fish. It is caused by a parasite called Ichthyophthirius. Fish with white spot disease will have white spots on their body surface and gradually expand. If you want to treat this disease, you need to stop feeding temporarily and raise the temperature of the water in the fish tank to about 29 degrees Celsius, so that the parasites will die quickly and the condition will slowly improve.
For other common diseases caused by bacteria or parasites, changing water can reduce the density of bacteria and improve water quality, so as to avoid further deterioration of the disease. At the same time, it raises the temperature of the water, thus stimulating the fish's own immunity. In addition, adding salt to the water properly can prevent further invasion of bacteria by regulating osmotic pressure. Generally, the concentration of salt is controlled between one thousandth and three thousandths. Too high concentration will also affect the health of fish.
