1. Arowana gill turning symptoms
In the early stage of gill turning symptoms, arowana The soft parts of the gill margins are usually not able to move smoothly, and the breathing rate is abnormal. At the same time, the soft parts of the dragon fish will grow slightly, the second gill cover is slightly recessed, and then the soft parts will roll over, exposing the gill flaps to the water. When the turning of the gills is serious, the dragon fish will have shortness of breath, floating head, stop eating and collapse. At the same time, if the gill flap of the dragon fish is also infected by bacteria, it will easily affect the normal function of its gill filaments and make the dragon fish. The fish suffocated to death.
Second, the reason for the arowana to turn its gills
causing the arowana to turn its gills There are many reasons for this. The following conditions can lead to this situation: 1. The owner does not feed properly, does not clean up the residual bait and corruption in time, and does not clean up the arowana excrement pollution in time, etc. All can lead to the deterioration of water quality and reduce the oxygen content in the water, and if the arowana lives in such an environment, it is easy to turn its gills.
2. The narrow activity space is also a common reason for the arowana to turn its gills, because the arowana needs to rotate from time to time when swimming in a small space, and the normal operation of its gills will be affected over time. , and finally caused the cheeks to turn. Generally speaking, the length of the aquarium used for raising arowana should be 3 times the length of the fish. If it is lower than this condition, it means that the breeding environment for arowana is too narrow.
3. The water temperature cannot be maintained at a constant temperature, and the temperature is too cold or too hot, which will affect the sensitive gills of the arowana, which will cause the arowana to turn its gills.
4. In addition, if the water pump is not used correctly, the arowana’s gills will be stimulated by the water flow for a long time, which will also cause the arowana to turn its gills.
Third, treatment measures
1. If you have trouble breathing, you can treat it by improving the water quality. That is, changing 1/5 of the water every 2 to 3 days and supplying oxygen at the same time to increase the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water can effectively cure the dragon fish.
2. In the middle stage of Arowana’s gill-turning, the soft parts of its gills are slightly rolled, but not yet hardened. At this stage, in addition to the initial treatment measures, physical therapy can also be used, that is, adding a wave pump to strengthen the water flow, so as to use the arowana’s countercurrent habit to stimulate the arowana’s gills to achieve the purpose of healing. The above treatment methods only have a 50% chance of curing the arowana in the middle stage of gill turning.
3. At the end of the gill-turning stage of the dragon fish, that is, the soft roll-over part of the gills of the dragon fish has been completely hardened. At this time, it can only be treated by surgery.
Warm reminder: Arowana turning its gills is not a minor illness, it will endanger its life in serious cases, and breeders must not be careless. Once it is found that the dragon fish is turning its gills, treat it immediately to prevent the deterioration of the dragon’s condition and miss the opportunity for treatment.
