In an environment where the water temperature is too low, Mary fish are extremely susceptible to white spot disease. They suffer from white spot disease mostly because they are parasitized by Ichthyophthirius in the water. Ichthyophthirius can survive in water for a short time and find a host. When the water temperature is too low or the light is too weak, a large number of Ichthyophthirius will breed in the water. At this time, they will infect the gills or skin surface of Mary fish, causing Mary fish to get white spot disease. When white spot disease is found, they should be treated with mercurous nitrate solution in time.

One, why does Mary fish love to get white spot disease

? White spot disease is caused by Ichthyophthirius. They belong to a large ciliate, which can survive in low water temperature, and then constantly search for hosts. When they find suitable hosts, they will infect the eyes, gills, skin and other sensitive parts of fish. At this time, white spots will appear on the Mary fish. They are suitable for living in fish tanks where the water temperature is below 20 C and the light is relatively weak. For the average family, if this standard is met, the Mary fish will suffer from white spot disease.

2. How to treat

the white spot disease of Mary fish is caused by a large number of Ichthyophthirius in the water. Therefore, in order to treat white spot disease, the first step is to kill Ichthyophthirius. They are suitable for living in lower water temperatures, so the first step is to raise the water temperature to about 26 degrees Celsius. And then the diseased fish is fished out of the fish tank, separately isolated and raised, and medicated bath treatment is carried out. They

can be placed in a mercurous nitrate solution at a concentration of two grams per cubic meter. Medicated baths are taken for an hour each time, twice a week, and they can be cured in about a month. Then when raising them, we should often take them to bask in the sun, and at the same time, we can add appropriate amount of coarse salt to the water to sterilize and disinfect them.
