Common causes of unbalanced parrot swim bladders:
1. Improper feeding method: if pet If the nutrient content of the feed fed to the parrot fish is too high, the parrot fish will accumulate fat in the body, thus compressing the swim bladder. Or feeding indigestible food to parrot fish will easily lead to intestinal blockage of parrot fish. This causes the parrot fish to swell the intestines, causing the parrot fish to lose balance.
2. The water temperature changes too much: the parrot fish is very sensitive to the temperature difference. If the breeder does not pay attention when changing the water, let the water temperature difference exceed 2 ℃, which will stimulate the nerve endings of the parrot fish skin, and then cause the fish. Dysregulation of internal organ activity, and finally fish swim bladder disorders.
3. Caused by bacterial infection: The swim bladder disorder of parrot fish may also be caused by inflammation and degeneration of the swim bladder epithelial tissue after bacterial infection. As a result, a large amount of body fluid accumulates in the parrot fish, which in turn oppresses the lumen in the body, causing the air in the swim bladder to have nowhere to go, causing the adjustment function of the swim bladder to fail, thus causing the parrot fish to lose balance.
