If the parrot fish has bulging eyes, it is very likely that it has "bulging eye disease.". In a long time without changing the water, or residual food in the water, will lead to a large number of bacterial growth, in this case more prone to this disease. This is a relatively common disease, in addition to the performance of bulging eyes, other symptoms are loss of appetite and slow activity. The mortality rate of this disease is relatively high, so it must be treated in time after the discovery of parrot fish suffering from this disease.
In the early stage of the disease, if the symptoms are not particularly serious, you can improve the water quality to treat it at this time, you can change the water once, and add salt to the water to disinfect it. After about three days, significant improvement may be observed. If the symptoms are serious, they must be treated with drugs. Some water-soluble drugs can be used, such as chlortetracycline. However, we need to pay attention to the dosage, about 10, 000 or 20, 000 units of chlortetracycline per liter of water. In addition, it is necessary to raise the water temperature appropriately, but do not let the water temperature change suddenly.
If the symptoms are very serious and the eye rims of parrot fish are beginning to rot, then a more effective drug, such as norfloxacin, is needed. You can put two grains into the fish tank every day, about ten days later, you can cure the sick fish, but at the same time, you need to do a good job of disinfection.
