1. Poor water quality: guppy needle tail disease may be caused by poor water quality. Although they do not require high water quality, if the water quality is too poor, bacteria will easily breed in the water, which will lead to their illness.
2, too high density: guppies reproduce at a high speed and quantity. When they live in too high density, they will always be crowded together, and they will easily suffer from needle tail disease.
3. Too many nitrifying bacteria: Although nitrifying bacteria in fish tanks can make fish live more comfortably, too many nitrifying bacteria in fish tanks can easily lead to needle tail disease in guppies.
2. What medicine should be used for guppy needle tail diseaseAfter guppy suffers from needle tail disease, breeders need to change their water immediately and keep the water quality clean. There are many drugs suitable for treating guppy needle tail disease, such as oxytetracycline, potassium permanganate, furazolidone, penicillin and so on.
Oxytetracycline is more commonly used, because the side effects of this drug will be less and more common. Breeders can add 1-2 tablets of oxytetracycline to the water in which guppies live, and insist on changing the water for them every day, but the amount of water should not be too large, and the tablets should be supplemented every day. Hold on for about a week, and the condition at the end of the needle can be cured. Potassium permanganate can also be used, and a proper amount of potassium permanganate can be added to the water where guppy lives, and then the sick fish can be put in separately for feeding. You can also use furazolidone and penicillin medicated baths, and give them medicated baths once a day for about 15 minutes each time.
