Common surface diseases of dragon fish
I. Melting scales
The dissolving scale of dragon fish is generally caused by the deterioration of water quality and lack of vitamins, which causes the damage of capillaries after the scale is erected. The disease usually starts from the edge of the scales of arowana. After a long period of corrosion, wormholes are formed on the surface of the scales, which seriously damages the ornamental value of the arowana.
In this case, first of all, it is necessary to improve the water quality as soon as possible, change the water to warm up, and add an appropriate amount of aquarium-specific vitamins to the water to treat the sick arowana. Note that it must be a special vitamin for aquariums. Oral vitamins for humans cannot be used, because the oral vitamins used by humans only help humans absorb them, and fish cannot absorb them. Feeders should pay attention to this. Although Arowana scales will not threaten its life, this disease will seriously affect its ornamental value. For this disease, Japanese yellow powder can be used for control and treatment. Melting scales can basically be recovered. However, arowanas with severe scale-dissolving disease may have scars after recovery, which can be removed in small batches.
Second, the body surface peeling
Arowana body surface peeling is mostly due to the new fish entering the tank, Excessive water change, water quality turbulence, etc. In this case, the body surface of the dragon fish will appear film hanging, that is, the body surface film will fall off. And because the peeling of the dragon fish will directly expose the fish scales to the water, it is generally not recommended to treat with salt, and an appropriate amount of Japanese yellow powder can be added to the water to deal with it. However, in the case of severe decapsulation of the arowana body surface, Aoshen Arowana No. 4 and penicillin need to be used for treatment.
Three, rotten fins and rotten tails
The rotten fins or rotten tails of dragon fish are generally due to fighting between fishes or deterioration of water quality, etc. Due to the situation, the fin tail edge of the damaged dragon fish is damaged, congested, red and swollen. For this situation, if the situation is not serious, it cannot be treated with medication, and the old third method can be used to solve it; but if the situation is serious and there is a trend of continuous development, it is necessary to use Japanese yellow powder, A agent and other drugs for effective treatment .
