It is impossible for saprolegniasis to heal itself. This kind of disease is because after the fish is injured, the fungus invades the wound, until after the growth of mycelium can be found, so when found has been sick for a long time, this time want to heal almost impossible, and even with drugs, may not be able to cure well, there is also the risk of death.
1. Change water: The first thing to do to treat saprolegniasis is to change water. The purpose of changing water is to reduce the content of fungi in water, and it can also improve the water quality, which is very helpful for subsequent rehabilitation. When peace changes the water to be different, is sick the period to change the water to separate one day to change basically, each time changes 1/5 about.
2. Heating up: After changing the water, the next step is to heat up. By heating up, the metabolism of the fish can be accelerated, and thus its resistance can be improved. However, warming also has some disadvantages, as soon as the temperature rises, the reproduction rate of fungi will also accelerate, so it needs to be salted.
3. Salting: Salting can change the osmotic pressure of the water body, which can reduce the infiltration of water into the fish body, reduce the kidney burden of the fish, and also prevent the invasion of some fungi. The concentration of salt must be well controlled, generally from three thousandths to five thousandths, and it will not work if it is higher.
4. Medicated bath: If saprolegniasis is serious, it cannot be cured by changing water, warming up and adding salt. Medicated bath is necessary. Commonly used medicine bath has malachite green, methyl blue, yellow powder, etc., different drugs to choose different concentrations, once the dosage is too much, will also cause drug damage.
