If the phenomenon of grass carp swimming in groups on the surface appears after a large number of feeding, it may be metabolic disorder syndrome. Grass carp need to digest food after eating a lot, and oxygen consumption will increase. If the oxygen in the water is insufficient, the grass carp will swim to the surface. If grass carp have other symptoms besides swimming in groups on the surface, such as increased gills or mucus, they may have gill rot disease or water mildew disease. At this time, they will also have symptoms such as reduced activity and appetite.
