1. Reasons for arowana turning gills
1. Caused by deterioration of water quality p>
Poor water quality is the main reason for the arowana to turn its gills, and there are many factors that lead to the deterioration of the water quality, such as improper feeding by the breeder, failure to actually clean up the excrement of the arowana, and the deterioration of food residues, etc. The above factors All can lead to the deterioration of the water quality in the fish tank
, and the dissolved oxygen in the water continues to decrease. In such a situation, arowanas often turn their gills in order to breathe better.
2. The density of the fish tank is too small
Many breeders like to raise arowanas in mixed culture. After all, raising arowanas alone is too monotonous! However, in the process of polyculture of arowana, the size of the fish tank was not carefully considered, resulting in arowana living in a high-density environment. Arowana lives in an overcrowded space, and often turns around due to insufficient activity space, and the arowana will more or less cause certain pressure on its gills during the turning process Then the navigation dragon fish will turn its gills.
3. The temperature changes greatly
The water temperature is too low or too high, which will also cause the arowana to turn its gills, because the gills of the arowana are very sensitive and are prone to The adapted water temperature immediately responds accordingly. If the water temperature in the fish tank is very unstable and fluctuates frequently, it will naturally cause the arowana to turn its gills.
4. Improper installation of the water pump
This is a pathogenic factor often overlooked by dragon fish breeders. The water pump is indeed one of the necessary configurations of the aquarium, but if Improper use will make the soft tissue of the gills of arowana appear abnormal, and if this condition is maintained for a long time, it will cause the gill cover of the arowana to sag inward, and then turn the gills.
Arowana turns its gills, which can cause symptoms of refusal to eat and floating head, and in severe cases, it can cause respiratory obstruction and death under the influence of bacterial infection!
Second, the treatment method of arowana gill turning
1. Initial treatment : In the early stage of turning the gills, the dragon fish will show the performance of shortness of breath. At this time, it is generally possible to effectively cure the sick fish by improving the water quality and using oxygen supply equipment to increase the oxygen supply of the water body. However, it should be noted that during the treatment period, the dragon fish must be allowed to breathe normally.
2. Mid-term treatment: At this stage, the turning gills of arowana begin to appear in a rudimentary state, but the soft tissue of the diseased fish has not yet hardened. At this time, water changes, oxygenation, and the addition of wave generators can be used to promote the water flow to impact the soft tissue of the arowana, so that the soft tissue can be re-fitted to its gills, but at this time the arowana has only a half chance of being cured. .
3. Late treatment: After the arowana gills are completely formed, most of the corrective measures can no longer play a good role, because the soft tissue of the arowana has hardened at this time, and can only be used Recovery from surgery.
We will introduce the causes of the arowana gills and related treatment methods here. It is recommended that ordinary breeders pay more attention to the arowana in the process of raising the arowana changes in the body so that abnormalities can be detected and dealt with in a timely manner.
