I. Symptoms of Arowana Gill Turning
Arowana Gill Turning Symptoms In the initial stage, it will only show abnormal opening and closing of the gills and abnormal breathing rate, the gill cover will become sunken, and the end cartilage will slowly roll up. Slowly the arowana turned its gills more and more, and it began to have symptoms such as shortness of breath, floating head and not eating. In the end, the gills of the arowana were completely turned up, and the normal function of the gills was damaged, which eventually led to the suffocation of the arowana.
Second, the reasons for the arowana to turn its gills
1. Water quality Poor cause
There will inevitably be some food left in the fish tank
when the breeder feeds the arowana. In addition, Arowana will remove some secretions from time to time. If the breeder does not clean up the excrement and food residues in the water in time, the water quality will deteriorate, so that the ammonia content and nitrite concentration in the water will increase, which will cause the Arowana because of hypoxia.
2. Excessive changes in water temperature cause
The daily feeding of arowana requires regular water changes, but if you do not pay attention to the reasonable control of the water temperature or the temperature difference between the new water and the old water when changing the water. If it is large, it is easy to cause the sensitive gills of the dragon fish to be affected, resulting in turning the gills.
3. The activity space is too small
Arowana swims continuously in the fish tank. If the fish tank used by the breeder for the arowana is relatively small, it will cause the arowana to swim in the process of swimming. It must be rotated continuously, and the process of rotation will affect the gills of the dragon fish. Over time, it will also cause the arowana to turn its gills.
Therefore, we must pay attention to carefully choose a suitable size fish tank for the dragon fish, so that the dragon fish can swim normally in the fish tank.
4. Improper use of the wave pump
If the wave pump is installed in an improper position, causing the water flow to roll over the soft parts of the arowana for a long time, it will also cause the arowana to turn over. gills, and this reason is the most easily overlooked.
5. Bacterial infection leads to
Fungal fungal or parasitic infection of dragon fish can also cause gill turning. When arowana is infected with fungal mold, the gill flaps are usually whitened and accompanied by blood threads. This phenomenon indicates that the gill mold causes the arowana to turn its gills. If the operculum of the dragon fish is redder than usual and accompanied by adverse symptoms such as shortness of breath, it means that it is caused by a protozoan parasite infection. If there are white dots on the gill cover of the dragon fish, it is likely to be infected with Myxospora.
Treatment method:
In the early stage of the arowana gills turning, when the gills have not been turned significantly, the water quality can be gradually improved It can be solved by increasing the oxygen content in the water. If the gills of the dragon fish are slightly turned over, it is necessary to use the habit of reverse current of the dragon fish to strengthen the water flow to promote the recovery of the gills. However, if the soft part of the everted gills of the dragon fish has hardened, it can only be surgically removed.
We have introduced the situation of the dragon fish turning its gills here. I hope this sharing can help you!
