Do you use guppies to fish out sick fish when they have rotten tails?

Well, you need to fish it out to prevent infection, and first of all, I'm asking you, what kind of bait are you putting on the goldfish? In my experience, rotten food is usually put into the water with active food (i.e. live insects, rice, meat, eggs, etc.), and this food is not eaten up, and it spoils under the water, causing fish diseases caused by changes in water quality. Fish disease is generally very troublesome, because he can't be fed like a dog, and can only add the drug to the water, so that the effect is not very obvious.

Many people read books and write about potassium permanganate, but don't use it, because it will turn purple after dissolving in water, and this color will sink on the surface of the fish and utensils, and it is difficult to wash. You can use edible salt, add a small amount of salt to soak all the fish utensils in the fish tank for 20 minutes, then rinse it with clean water, and then change it to clean water, so that the fish is not easy to get sick. To ensure that I was alive and healthy, the fish that I used to deal with were generally kept in separate rooms, and most of them died.

If you have a rotten tail disease, I don't mind if you cut off the rotten tail first (if you survive, it will grow again), and then soak it in light salt water for 30 minutes twice a day.

Like domestic fish, mind buying ready-made feed and don't give the fish items for their own consumption. That would pollute the water and make the fish susceptible to disease. Even if you can't eat all the feed you bought, he won't pollute the water, and I don't understand why now, but that's it.

If one is found to be sick, it must be fished out and isolated. The fish I usually raise have few who get sick and survive.

It's best to fish it out, my family has raised anchovies [guppies] three times, and each time it can be raised together, but it's all because one of them is unfinished, and then the others are dead, or isolated, it's better to change the water after isolation to prevent bacteria in the water.

It's better to isolate! It is possible to infect other fish, so maintain the water quality and ensure that the water temperature does not change abruptly!

Yes, otherwise other fish will be infected.

No, just put some yellow powder!

The old chain of guppies is due to trauma and poor water quality.

1. Trauma

Guppies may not be injured in time, such as when they fight during mating, or they are scratched by ornaments or aquatic plants in the fish tank. There is a wound on the tail of the fish, and if it is not in time, it will be invaded by bacteria, resulting in a rotten tail.

2. The water quality is too poor

Guppies may also be caused by poor water quality, they do not have high requirements for the environment, but poor water quality will cause them to have rotten bodies. In the early stage of rotten tails, the tail will not fester, only red, swollen and congested. If there is no time, there will be inflammation and fracture.

The habits of guppies

Guppies have a mild temperament and can be polycultured with mild and medium-sized tropical fish, and are usually lively and active, with a short lifespan. Guppies are small, omnivorous species that are very resilient to their environment. Guppies are very adaptable and live well in aquariums without tempering and aeration equipment.

Able to withstand 16 low temperatures and dirty water quality, the most suitable growth temperature is 22-24, like slightly alkaline water quality. Eat zooplankton, small insects and detritus. It mainly eats insects, including midges, midges, house mosquitoes, dipterans, homoptera, and hemipterans.

Guppies are very good-looking, so let's talk about what to do if a guppy has a bad tail.

01 If you want to ** the bad tail of the guppies, we need to prepare the following materials: disinfectant, thermometer, salt, dysentery, etc.

02 Under normal circumstances, the cause of guppy tail failure is because of the unhygienic living environment, and we should change the water and disinfect the guppy in time after we find that there are guppies that have tail rotten.

03 If the area of the guppy is relatively small, we can take it out separately and add some salt to the breeding water, which can play a role in sterilization and disinfection.

04 Guppy tail rot may also be caused by the temperature of the living environment fluctuates, we should keep the temperature of the guppy living environment stable.

If the rotten fins and tails of the guppies are caused by the deterioration of water quality, the lack of water for a long time, and the lack of cleaning of the filter material in the fish tank, the most effective way is to change the water in large quantities and improve the water quality.

If the wound is caused by bacterial infection, it is most effective to use a medicated bath such as yellow powder**. If it is caused by malnutrition, it is most effective to feed nutritious food. If it is caused by excessive feeding density, it is most effective to replace the large fish tank in time.

To change the water, you should choose the water that has been dried, so as to avoid chlorine in the water from damaging the tail and fins of guppies. In addition, the temperature of the new water should be as consistent as possible with the old water. When the water quality is good, the phenomenon of guppies rotting tails and fins will also be good.

If the space in the tank is small, the fish are fed more, and the oxygen is less, the guppy will have the symptoms of rotten tails and fins. Replace the fish tank with a large space in time to ensure that the oxygen is sufficient, and the symptoms of rotten tails and fins will be cured after a period of time.

Morphological characteristics of guppies

Guppies are petite, and the patterns on their bodies are colorful, and some are shaped like letters, which are called foreign peacocks. Some are like snakes, called snakeskin peacocks. Some resemble leopard skins and are called leopard-tailed peacocks.

The dorsal fin is long, the caudal fin is wide and long, about 1 2 more than the total length, the length of the caudal peduncle is greater than the height of the caudal peduncle, the dorsal fin soft strip is 7 to 8, and the anal fin soft strip is 8 to 10.

The color of its body, dorsal and caudal fins is varied, including red, blue, black, yellow, green, tiger skin and variegated colors. There are blue-red round spots on the tail fin and body abdomen, and there are pale patterns around it, similar to the peacock's tail feather flower color, so it is named after it. Guppies have a mild temperament and can be carefully mixed with mild and medium-sized tropical fish, usually lively and active, and have a short lifespan.

Trauma: Guppies' rotten tails may be caused by untimely injuries and keepers need to change their water immediately and wash their tails with coarse salt.

Bacterial infection: It can also be caused by a bacterial infection, and the keeper will need to raise the water temperature to 26 before using a potassium permanganate or diarrhoeal medicated bath**.

Pinocchiochocycosis: It is also possible that the sick guppies need to be isolated before giving them a medicated bath with oxytetracycline.

1. White spot disease: Guppies are tropical fish that like to grow in a high-temperature environment. If the water temperature is low, their resistance will decrease, and they will also be prone to getting sick.

2. Rotten tail disease: The most ornamental thing about guppies is their tails, but because the tails are relatively fragile, they are prone to injuries and infections, so guppies often suffer from rotten tail disease.

3. Pintail disease: Pintail disease is often found in juvenile guppies, mainly because the water quality is too poor or the density is too high, and the tail will rot in severe cases.
