First, the cause of golden arowana turning gills
1. It is caused by improper feeding and management. For example, if the breeder fails to clean up the food residue left in the water every time he feeds arowana, and does not clean up the excrement discharged by the arowana in time, it is easy to cause the deterioration of water quality and the reduction of oxygen in the water, which in turn leads to Arowana flips its cheeks.
2. Affected by the limited space for activities. In the growth and development stage of arowana, in addition to supplementing adequate nutrition, it also needs to provide it with a good space for movement. The adult arowana is relatively large, and the length of the aquarium used for raising arowana should be 3 times the length of the fish, otherwise it needs to keep turning to swim if it dissolves and lives in a small space. It is easy to go down and the dragon fish will turn its cheeks.
3, due to the large temperature difference of water. Arowana’s gills are very sensitive and will be affected by changes in water temperature. Too high or too low water temperature will cause the arowana to turn its gills.
4. It is caused by the influence of the motor. Improper use of the water pump will also cause the arowana to turn its gills, and this reason is often easily overlooked by the natural child. The use of the water pump not only causes the water to continuously irritate the gills of the arowana, but also causes the arowana to turn its gills.
2. What to do when the dragon fish turns its gills
1. The dragon fish Unsmooth breathing is the initial manifestation of the arowana turning its gills. If it is found that the arowana has this symptom, it can be dealt with by gradually improving the water quality immediately. At the same time, relevant measures can be taken to increase the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water. Treatment methods can generally effectively cure dragon fish.
2. If the soft parts of the gills of the dragon fish are slightly rolled, but not yet hardened, it means that the arowana gills have reached the middle stage. At this time, it is necessary to use the initial treatment method, supplemented by Physiotherapy uses the habit of arowana’s countercurrent to strengthen the water flow to promote the soft return of the arowana’s everted gills, but the above treatment methods generally only reach half of the cure rate.
3. If the soft rolling part of the gills of the dragon fish has been completely hardened, it can only be completely solved by surgical treatment.
