1. Normal phenomenon 1. Reason: Parrot fish usually lie under the water to rest. If they only lie under the water occasionally, there is no big problem.
2. Solution: This is a normal phenomenon, and breeders need not worry or deliberately treat it. When they have finished their rest, they will swim normally.
2. Imbalance of swim bladder1. Reason: Parrot fish lying flat at the bottom may also have imbalance of swim bladder. There are many reasons for this disease. For example, if the food fed is too nutritious, it will lead to the accumulation of fat, which will compress the swim bladder. There is also too much food to feed, and the parrot fish's intestines and stomach are not digested, causing intestinal blockage, thus making the parrot fish lose its balance. Then there is bacterial infection, inflammation and pathological changes in swim bladder.
2. Solution: Parrot fish suffering from swim bladder imbalance is difficult to treat if it is only caused by obesity or indigestion. Then breeders only need to raise the water temperature and speed up their metabolism, which can effectively alleviate the disease. If it is caused by bacterial infection, it is difficult to treat it.
3. Water mold1. Reason: Parrot fish lying flat on the bottom may also suffer from water mold, and the main cause of water mold is poor water quality.
2. Solution: Breeders need to isolate diseased fish first, because water mold is more contagious. The second is to replace new water and disinfect the fish tank. Finally, the diseased fish are bathed with potassium permanganate solution or yellow powder. Insist on taking a medicated bath for one week, and the parrot fish can recover.
