No matter what disease the fish has, it needs to change water in time. Improving the water quality has a great effect on the recovery of the fish. Usually, the interval between water changes is more than 5-7 days, but during illness, water changes should be more frequent, preferably every other day, and the amount of water changes is about a quarter. This can improve water quality and reduce the number of pathogens and parasites in water, if there are any.
After changing the water, the next step is to raise the temperature. The first thing to cure the fish is their own resistance. Raising the temperature can stimulate the fish and stimulate their metabolism. In this way, harmful substances can be discharged from the body as soon as possible, and at the same time, the immunity can be stimulated. Generally, it is enough to increase the temperature by 1-2 degrees Celsius, and it will not play a big role if it rises too high.
Although heating up the water can stimulate the fish and help them recover better, it also has certain defects, that is, it will accelerate the reproduction of bacteria and parasites in the water body. In this case, it is necessary to change the osmotic pressure by adding salt, so as to reduce the infiltration of water from outside to inside. Thereby controlling the damage of the bacteria to the fish.
In general, most diseases can be treated by changing water, heating up and adding salt, but there are also some diseases that cannot be cured, which require additional drug treatment. According to the disease condition of the fish, a proper medicament is selected to prepare a solution, and then the fish is soaked and washed for 10-30 minutes once a day until the fish recovers.
