White spot disease is the most common disease in every fish keeper tank. I'm Sheldon, a fish keeper for almost 10 years time. I have cured over 20 types of species of fish including the fish of my friend, such as Goldfish, Flowerhorn, Betta fish, Guppy, Arowana, Tetra, Channa, and so on. I have concluded with my expereince, there are 6 steps to keep your fish cured from white spot disease.
Step 1. Judge calmly
Friends who raise fish know that white spot disease is a stubborn disease on fish. Many netizens are also stumped when they encounter white spot disease on fish. Catkins tell everyone, as long as you understand What's wrong with this white spot disease, you can quickly eliminate them. First of all, we must first understand the cause of the disease. When encountering this disease, don't worry and calm down. The disease can't be cured on the fish. Yes, then we can transfer it and eliminate it. Some netizens may wonder, can this disease be transmitted? Yes, you can! The cause of the white spot disease is the parasites on the fish. As long as we remove those nasty parasites, we can quickly eliminate them. The first step for everyone is to judge whether the fish has a white spot disease or not. , Only when the condition is confirmed can the treatment be carried out. Don't be anxious when you observe; you must be patient and careful and observe for enough time to conclude. Don't conclude casually. This disease generally does not cause the death of the fish in the fish tank, but if the treatment is not correct, then Can only wait to clean the fish tank!
Step 2. Isolate sick fish
Just like infectious diseases in humans, white spot disease can also be transmitted in fish. If there are one or two fish in the aquarium, there are symptoms of white spot disease. Don't hesitate first. Isolate them to avoid infecting other fish in the aquarium. If other fish in the aquarium still show similar symptoms after isolation, be careful because there may be other parasites in the aquarium. At this time, the fish in the entire aquarium is necessary to receive treatment. Generally, as long as the fish with white spot disease appears in the fish tank, it is best to treat the entire fish tank to avoid other fish becoming sick after the diseased fish is cured. When isolating ill fish, you must pay attention. Compared with fish that are not sick, the ill fish are already very weak. After they are separated, they are equivalent to allowing them to adapt to a new environment. It is most likely because of the fish tank and the inside of the tank. The replacement of the water will make the disease of the sick fish worse!
Step 3. Increase the temperature of the water
The reason for isolating the sick fish is to treat them separately. As we have just said, if you want to cure the white spot disease, you must transfer the parasites to the sick fish. How to transfer it? ? That is to raise the water temperature. The temperature of the living environment of the parasites should not be too high. After isolation, we slowly increase the water temperature. Of course, the water temperature cannot be increased without limit; if not, the fish will be cooked. In this case, we control the water temperature below 30℃. Such a high temperature will not affect the survival of the fish. It can also remove the parasites from the fish. At this time, we must control the temperature. If the temperature rises too high, it will cause Sick fish can't accept it, and the diseased fish will die. When the temperature is too high, the amount of oxygen in the fish tank will gradually decrease, which is not conducive to the survival of the fish in the fish tank, and the plants in the fish tank will also be affected!
Step 4. Add salt to the fish tank
When the parasites can't stand the high temperature in the fish tank, the most critical step is needed. Add salt to the tank. The salt is not added casually. First, the type of salt. It should be understood that it cannot be iodine-containing salt. You can use coarse salt and refined salt. Both are acceptable. Also, pay attention to the way of adding salt. Do not throw the salt directly into the fish tank. It would be best if you first dissolved the salt with warm water. , It must be completely dissolved and then slowly dispersed the saltwater into the fish tank. Both fish tanks here must be salted. Do not add too much salt to the fish tank of ordinary fish. Generally, the concentration of saltwater should be controlled below 0.3%. You can add more to the fish tank of the sick fish. Generally, it should not exceed 0.5%. If you use this method for about a week, you can see that the ill fish are slowly recovering!
Step 5. Change the water every day
After adding salt, the concentration of the water will become higher. The fish will have difficulty breathing when living in this environment for a long time. If it is severe, hypoxia will occur. At this time, change the water to deal with In the aquarium of typical fish, change the water every day. Do not change more than one-fourth of the water in the aquarium at a time. Change the water every two days in the aquarium of diseased fish. Do not change the water frequently. Too frequent, you must adjust the concentration of the saltwater after changing the water. Another effect of changing the water is to transfer the dead parasites in the water through the water change, to avoid other bacteria due to the rot of the parasites!
Step 6. Wait patiently
This is the easiest step. Just wait patiently. When waiting, pay attention to whether there are any white spots on the fish. If you find that white spots appear again, continue treatment. As long as you adhere to these six steps, treating the white spot disease is straightforward!
These are the 6 points for attention in the treatment of white spot disease. Have you remembered? Hope your fish get well soon and stay healthy. Any problem just comments below, I will give some suggestion with my expereince to you. See you next time!
