1. Will goldfish die if they fall scales in a large area? Whether goldfish die if they fall scales in a large area depends on the causes of their falling scales and the treatment methods of breeders. If a large area of goldfish scales are caused by trauma or bumping, the breeder will not die under normal circumstances as long as it is treated in time. Because goldfish's resistance and immunity are relatively strong, as long as they can be treated in time, their chances of recovery are very great. If goldfish is caused by bacterial infection, the treatment method and difficulty are relatively high. If the breeder treats inaccurately or delays the timing of treatment, the goldfish will have a greater chance of death.
2. How to treat goldfish scales1. Isolation: After breeders find goldfish scales, they need to be fished out and isolated immediately. This can avoid infecting other fish.
2. Change water: The scales of goldfish may be caused by bacterial infection and poor water quality. Breeders can change water for them first to keep the water quality clean. However, the amount of water change should not be too large, and it can be controlled at one third of the total water volume,
3. Drug application: The breeder gives them a medicated bath with penicillin, oxytetracycline, yellow powder, etc., once a day, and each medicated bath lasts about 20-30 minutes. It will take about a week or so to recover.
4, stop feeding: goldfish will lose appetite after suffering from scaly disease, so breeders can stop feeding first, and try to feed food after their illness is relieved.
