1. What are the causes of blindfolded Arowana fish
1. Blindfolded eyes caused by bacterial infection
Arowana blindfolded disease occurs more often in summer and autumn, and may also occur in other seasons, but the incidence is relatively low. The reason why dragon fish occurs more often in summer and autumn is mainly because the temperature in these two seasons is higher and the weather is hot. In this case, the bacteria in the water are easy to multiply in large numbers, which can easily cause the blindfolded disease of dragon fish.
2. Caused by deterioration of water quality
In fact, many diseases of dragon fish are related to poor water quality. Among them, blindfolded dragon fish is often caused by deterioration of water quality. If the water quality deteriorates or there is too much nitrogen in the water, and too much nitrogen enters the body of the dragon fish, it is easy to cause the dragon fish to appear blindfolded. Therefore, pet owners must change the water regularly during the breeding of arowanas to prevent the arowanas from being blindfolded due to excessive nitrogen in the water.
In addition, Arowana’s eyes may also be blindfolded due to fighting injuries and bacterial infection of the wound. Therefore, if you find that the eyes of the dragon fish are injured, you must disinfect the wound to prevent the wound from being infected by bacteria.
2. How to treat Arowana blindfolded syndrome
1. The treatment method of the fish blindfolded in the early stage
The symptoms of the arowana blindfolded in the early stage are not obvious, and it is not easy to be detected. However, if you look closely at the eyes of the dragon fish, you can see that the eyes of the dragon fish have white lines or white spots, which are the symptoms of the arowana’s blindfolded early stage. If it can be found in time, there is no need to treat the dragon fish with medicine. Daily water changes can bring the dragon fish back to normal.
But special attention should be paid when changing the water. The new water used for replacement should be properly treated, and the water temperature and ph value of the water should be appropriate.
2. Treatment of mid-stage Arowana blindfolded syndrome
In mid-stage of Arowana blindfolded, the white spots on its eyeballs have gradually evolved into a layer of white fog, and the symptoms at this time are obvious , the naked eye can see obvious abnormalities in the eyes. Maybe the appetite of the dragon fish is still good at this time, but its eyes have become cloudy, which hinders its vision. In this stage of treatment, on the basis of changing the water, it is necessary to heat the water in the fish tank
by 1~2°C, and add a small amount of salt to the water for disinfection, generally according to the standard amount of 3g of salt per liter of water. Just add salt.
3. Treatment of Arowana Blindfolded in the Late Stage
If Arowana Blindfolded Symptoms reach the advanced stage, the Arowana’s eyes will become completely cloudy and slightly protruding, At the same time, the eyeball will also appear white cotton-like substance. At this stage, the blindfolded symptoms have seriously affected other behaviors of the dragon fish, and the dragon fish is likely to have symptoms such as loss of appetite or food refusal. In the late stage of Arowana blindfolded syndrome, the above two treatment methods cannot be used to achieve a good effect, and drug treatment must be carried out. On the basis of changing the water and detonating oxygen, add an appropriate amount of medicine to treat the blindfolded dragon fish in the water. During the period, pay attention to observe the improvement of the symptoms of the dragon fish and decide whether to continue adding medicine. If the symptoms of dragon fish gradually improve, the medication can be gradually reduced.
This concludes our introduction to the causes and treatment of dragon fish blindfolded. Reduce the incidence of blindfolded arowana and reduce the disease of arowana.
