Depending on the time of discovery, the time that a fish with ascites can survive is not certain. Generally, it can live within seven days, and then it will die. The disease has four stages. The first stage is loss of appetite and energy. The second stage is to have cough-like symptoms, as if to vomit something. The third stage is the discharge of white stool, and will hang on the anus. The fourth stage is the swelling of the abdomen, usually before the fish dies.
1. Stop feeding: When you find that the fish has symptoms of ascites, the first thing to do is to stop feeding, because at this time the fish eat less, and the residual bait left in the water will pollute the water quality. Moreover, these animals themselves are relatively hungry, and they can not starve to death without eating for a period of time.
2. Old three: For fish farmers, most of the problems can be solved by the old three, that is, changing water, heating up, and adding salt. Water exchange is different from usual, mainly because the frequency is much faster, because it is necessary to improve water quality as soon as possible and reduce the content of harmful substances in water. Heating up is to stimulate the resistance of the fish so that it can heal itself. Salt is to change the osmotic pressure of water and reduce the possibility of pathogens invading fish with water flow.
3, drug treatment: the old three only in the early ascites when there is still some therapeutic effect, after the drug treatment must be used. Usually choose metronidazole and furazolidone, every 100 liters of water can be put in 4-6, the bath lasts for 3 days, if not cured, you can add some water and drugs, until you know recovery.
