There are many common diseases of dinosaur fish, such as white spot disease, saprolegniasis, rotten fin disease and enteritis. If you suffer from white spot disease, you need to raise the water temperature to eliminate parasites. If you suffer from saprolegniasis, you need to change the water in time and wash the fish with povidone iodine. If you suffer from rotten fin disease, you need to treat it with furacilin and other drugs. If they suffer from enteritis, they need to add furazolidone to the bait for treatment.
What are the common diseases of dinosaur fish and how to treat them?

1. white spot disease

White spot disease is a common disease of tropical fish. After the disease, there will be white spots on the body surface of the dinosaur fish. The source of the disease is a parasite called a small melon insect. Usually, it can be eliminated as long as the temperature is raised appropriately. However, in order to be on the safe side, it is often necessary to change water and add salt to it to improve the immunity of the fish body and prevent the recurrence of the disease.

2. saprolegniasis

Saprolegniasis is usually caused by fungal invasion of the wound after the dinosaur fish is injured. After the disease, the wound will grow mycelium, the appearance is white flocculent. If you want to treat it, first of all, you should change the water frequently, reduce the density of bacteria in the water, at the same time, you should heat up properly, add salt to the water, or soak the fish with povidone. Fin rot disease

Fin rot disease is a common disease, which is usually caused by poor water quality or fresh water stimulating the fish, and generally occurs more frequently in summer. After the disease, the fin will become opaque, then the membrane will fall off, the fin spine will be exposed, and slowly split, eventually leading to the death of the fish. It needs to be treated with furacilin or furazolidone.

4. enteritis

Dinosaur fish eat unhealthy things or long-term overfeeding, will lead to fish disease. After illness, appetite decreases, movement is slow, and abdomen enlarges. For this disease, in addition to conventional water change, warming and salt addition, you can also mix furazolidone and other drugs into the bait to treat it.
