goldfish blowing powder disease be contagious, because blowing powder disease is mainly caused by eosinophilic ovalbum parasitizing on goldfish. These parasites all live in acidic water, and they usually move in the water, but if fish are close to them, they will parasitize on it and multiply in large numbers. If one goldfish in the fish tank suffers from powdering disease, other fish in the fish tank are also easily infected. In addition, the onset time of powdering disease is relatively long, the infection speed is relatively fast, and the mortality rate is relatively high. If breeders find that they suffer from powdering disease, it is best to treat them immediately.
2. How to treat goldfish powdering disease quickly1. Isolation: As mentioned above, powdering disease is highly contagious. When breeders find them suffering from powdering disease, they must first transfer them to a separate fish tank. This can prevent them from being transmitted to other fish and can be treated better.
2. Adjust water quality: Since ovalbum eosinophilus only grows in acidic water, if breeders want to treat it, they must adjust the water quality to neutral and weakly alkaline. If you want to adjust the water quality to neutral, you can use quicklime or big soda. Put them directly in the water where goldfish live, and the water can be adjusted to be weakly alkaline.
3. Install a filter: Breeders also need to install a filter to slow down the deterioration of water quality. During treatment, breeders need to be open for 24 hours, which can speed up their recovery.
