It's okay for goldfish to drop scales slightly, because they usually swim and bump or when fish chase each other, they will make goldfish drop scales. In this case, goldfish themselves may recover, because goldfish are more solid, and their recovery speed is relatively fast. As long as the breeder can keep the environment comfortable, they can recover slowly. If goldfish have serious scales, the breeder needs to treat them with antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs, which can also slow down their scales.
2. How to treat goldfish scales1. Isolation: Goldfish scales may be caused by bacterial infection, so breeders need to isolate them first to prevent them from being transmitted to other fish.
2. Change water: Breeders should also change water for them to keep the water quality clean. This can speed up their recovery and reduce their reinfection.
3. Dropping: If the scale drop is serious, the breeder needs to use oxytetracycline or potassium permanganate to give them a medicated bath. Take a medicated bath once a day and insist on taking a medicated bath for about one week, so that the scales can be alleviated.
4. Maintain environmental stability: During the treatment period, breeders need to ensure that the living environment of fish is stable, and stop feeding to minimize the fluctuation of water quality.
