1. Main heat preservation: saprolegniasis often occurs at low temperature. Because the temperature is relatively low at this time, the resistance of fish is very poor, so it is easy to be attacked by bacteria. In order to prevent illness, the first thing to do is to keep the temperature above 15 C, preferably around 20 C, but not too much temperature fluctuation.

2. Avoid injury: Saprolegniasis is caused by Saprolegnia, a fungus that invades from the wound of a fish, forming hyphae and turning into white flocculent material. If the fish is healthy, the possibility of bacterial damage will also be reduced, so in peacetime must avoid injury, do not put too sharp stones in the fish tank.
