Gourd is difficult to survive in water temperature above 30 degrees, just need to raise the water temperature to above 30 degrees.
Under normal circumstances, medication is not needed.
My blood parrot has this disease. After I raised the water temperature to 32 degrees, it recovered in about two days. I didn't put any medicine, because I always thought medicine would be bad for fish.
Try not to change the water or feed it during this period.
White spots are commonly known as "cold" because the water temperature is not well controlled. It is best to treat this disease with mercurous nitrate, but mercurous nitrate is toxic, so don't overdo it, or the small fish will be poisoned. Please refer to the instruction manual or ask the seller for specific dosage. Just put a mineral water bottle cap in the jar of. 1 m2. During this treatment, no feeding is allowed, and the water temperature should be raised to above 30 degrees.
Let me tell you something about the basic knowledge of tropical fish breeding. If you still don't understand, just send me a message.
1, the fish tank should be disinfected before use (brush with potassium permanganate water, then soak the fish tank with low concentration potassium permanganate water for about one day).
2. Choosing fish is also very important. Sometimes the fish you choose to go home is sick. This requires a lot of experience, and I can't explain it clearly for a while. )
Take this new fish home. At this time, it should be noted that the water temperature in your fish tank has reached the temperature suitable for the growth of your small fish (the blood parrot is more suitable at 28 degrees plus or minus 1 degree, not absolute). Don't open the bag, put it in the fish tank together, float 10 for 20 minutes, then pour the fish into the tank, and don't feed it for three days. After that, feed it twice a day.
4, change the water, change one-third or one-half of the water in about three days, be careful not to use the tap water just taken out. After the tap water is taken out, it is best to leave it for two or three days before changing it for the small fish. Because tap water contains many substances harmful to fish, another is to pay attention to the temperature control of changing water. The water temperature of fresh water and the water temperature of the original water tank should not differ by plus or minus 65438 0 degrees.
5. Pay attention to the oxygen consumption of small fish. If there are many fish, it is necessary to increase the oxygen pump to increase oxygen. Because the blood parrot belongs to the inherently fragile respiratory system, it is best to oxygenate it for 24 hours.
6. After the fish gets sick, go to the fish shop to consult the medication in time. (consult more, one is to increase experience, and the other is to prevent being cheated. )
What you need to pay attention to most here is the link of changing water and increasing oxygen.
