When breeding butterfly carp, they may be observed lying in the tank. There are many reasons for this phenomenon, which can be summarized as the following four aspects:
1. Sudden change of water quality: This phenomenon may be caused by sudden change of water quality. For example, when changing water, the flow rate is too fast, or the amount of water is too much, etc., all belong to this situation.
2. Not adapting to the surrounding environment: In addition, this phenomenon may also be caused by not adapting to the surrounding environment. If the newly bought butterfly carp is the phenomenon of lying in the tank, then this may be the reason.
3. The disease of the butterfly carp: The phenomenon of the butterfly carp lying in the tank may also be caused by the disease. Specifically, there are many kinds of diseases, such as sleeping sickness, common cold, and parasites that cause problems in the body of butterfly carp.
4. Hibernation: Under normal circumstances, butterfly carp will not lie in the tank. However, if the water temperature is relatively low in winter, their activity will be reduced, and the butterfly carp will lie in the tank.
The treatment method needs to be determined according to the specific reasons. If the water quality changes suddenly, then we need to pay special attention to the flow rate and water exchange in the subsequent water exchange process, the flow rate should not be too fast, and the water exchange volume should not be too much. If they do not adapt to the surrounding environment, they should be given a process of adaptation before putting the newly bought butterfly carp into the fish tank, and the disinfection of the fish tank is also very important. If the disease is caused, then we need to determine what the disease is, and then symptomatic treatment. For example, for butterfly carp cold, you can pay special attention to the time of water change do not let the water temperature change dramatically; If it is a parasite, we need to pay attention to water exchange and the density of butterfly carp. For hibernation, it is necessary to adjust the water temperature properly, and the water temperature should not be too low in winter.
