When breeding goldfish, sometimes some white spots will be observed on its tail. The reason for this problem is that they have white spot disease. The disease is caused by a protozoan called the little melon worm. They will invade the goldfish's skin or Gills, causing goldfish morbidity.
goldfish in the morbidity, not only in the tail will find some white spots, slowly the whole fish will be covered with white spots. This disease is common in spring, autumn and rainy season, especially when the water temperature is 15-23 degrees, which is most suitable for the growth and reproduction of small melon insects. The disease itself is very serious, the mortality rate is very high, even up to 70%-80%. Moreover, it is infectious, and if it is raised in groups, it may soon lead to the death of most individuals in the fish.
1, if the situation is more serious, the best medication to treat. It is easier to buy drugs specifically for this disease in aquariums. Medicated bath treatment with mercurous sulfate solution is also possible.
2. It is necessary to raise the water temperature properly after the goldfish is found to have white spot disease. Because the suitable temperature for small melon insects is 15-23 degrees, the temperature can be adjusted to 25-28 degrees, so that their living environment becomes unsuitable. However, a sudden rise in temperature is not allowed, which will lead to goldfish discomfort. And thus that temperature need to be raised slowly.
3. In addition, special attention should be paid to the water quality. Poor water quality is one of the causes of the disease. Every time you change the water, you can change about one third, not too much. The rate of injection of new water should not be too fast. In addition, it can also be mixed with some fungicides and other substances to prevent the disease.
