What if I m not sure if my betta fish has white spot disease?

White spot disease: **: Caused by parasitic melon worm infection, most likely to occur in late spring and late autumn.

Its pathogen is a multi-seeded melon insect, which is oval, soft and plastic, and has a changeable morphology. When the goldfish is impregnated with the larvae of the melon worm, the body surface is white at first, like skin mold but not like skin mold, and a few days later, when the small melon worm larvae form a cyst on the body surface of the fish, the white spot symptoms are obvious. Many punctate cysts appeared on the body surface, gills and fins of diseased fish, and the mucus on the body surface increased significantly.

The pathogen is called the white spot worm, which penetrates deep into the cells of ** and reproduces asexually to form small white punctate cysts. Goldfish with this disease are covered with white spots all over the body, each white spot cyst contains many young white spot worms, white spot worms absorb the nutrients of the fish body tissue and grow up and increase the number, and then break out of the sac, swim into the water, and then return to the fish body to invade**, forming more small white spots. In the early stage of the disease, the sick fish will rub the hard objects with their bodies in the hope of removing the nasty pathogens from the body, and if they do not ** immediately, the body of the sick fish will quickly be severely damaged and die.

When the white spot worm invades the fish, the drug** does not work, and only when the small white spot worm reproduces in the fish and the new individual swims into the water, the agent can kill them.

Prevention and control methods: extend the drying period of tap water and let the water "cook" through.

Use gram mercurous nitrate, dissolve in 10 kg of water, soak the diseased fish for 10-15 minutes, note that because mercurous nitrate is highly toxic and corrosive, the liquid should be placed in a plastic basin, not a metal container. (Mercurous nitrate is very toxic, pay attention to human and animal safety when using).

You can also choose a concentrated red mercury solution, put it in 10 kg of water, soak the diseased fish for 15-30 minutes, and use it 2-3 times in a row, which can effectively kill the insect body.

Use a percentage concentration of malachite green solution, soak the diseased fish for many days until the small white spots completely disappear, the toxicity of the malachite green solution is very strong, do not use excessive dose, otherwise the goldfish will also be poisoned, or use commercially available white point agents, extra-parasitic agents**.

Tropical fish can use a heating rod, the water temperature in the fish tank rises to more than 30 within 2 3 days, and the melon worm can get out of the fish body by itself, and use the siphon to suck out the dirt and pathogens at the bottom of the tank, and add an appropriate amount of new water. (Note: Goldfish can withstand temperatures above 30 degrees, you need to pay attention to cheering, when the temperature is 3 degrees, the oxygen content in the water is very small).

My prevention and control method: add 10 ml of red syrup (red mercury) to 20 kg of water, and then put the sick fish into a medicated bath for 20 minutes, once a day, for 4 days.

When the fish is sick, they generally use salt, and if it is not good, use yellow powder to increase the salt.

Disinfect it with permanganate nails, even if you are sick, you can control it, even if you are not sick, it can be prevented.

Isolation medicated bath: Betta fish may have white spots on their bodies because they have white spot disease, and at this time the sick fish needs to be isolated and soaked in a crude salt solution with a concentration of 1% for 20-30 minutes every day. Clean up the water quality:

It may also be caused by the deterioration of water quality after not changing the water for a long time. At this point, a quarter of the water should be replaced and the fish tank should be disinfected. Heating up:

It is also possible that the temperature changes too much, and it is necessary to place a heating rod horizontally or vertically in the water to maintain a stable water temperature in the tank.

1. Reason: When betta fish are infected by parasites, they will suffer from white spot disease, and you can see white spots on their bodies at this time. This condition generally does not recover on its own and needs to be carried out**.

2. Treatment method: First of all, isolate the fish suffering from white spot disease, which is contagious, and if it is not isolated, they will infect healthy fish. The diseased fish are then placed in a coarse salt solution at a concentration of 1% and soaked for 20-30 minutes a day until they recover.

1. Reason: If the water is not changed for a long time, there will be more impurities in the water, and the germs in the water will multiply in large numbers, resulting in white spots on their bodies.

2. Treatment method: Take out a quarter of the water in the fish tank, and then pour in the treated water with similar water quality. In normal feeding, it is necessary to change the water once every 3-4 days.

If there is a filter in the tank, you can change it every 1-2 weeks. Then pour out all the water and fish slowly. Soak the fish tank with coarse salt for half an hour to sterilize.

1. Reason: In autumn and winter, the temperature in the fish tank will change very quickly. At this time, if you don't pay attention to the temperature in the fish tank, the temperature will suddenly change, causing damage to the betta fish and causing white spots on their bodies.

2. Treatment method: first put a heating rod in the fish tank, raise the water temperature in the fish tank to 28, and maintain stability. Then put a thermometer in the fish tank to check the water temperature in the fish tank so that the water temperature can be adjusted in real time.

White spots on betta fish may be due to white spot disease, and the diseased fish need to be isolated and soaked in a coarse salt solution with a concentration of 1% for 20-30 minutes every day. Clean water quality: It can also be caused by the deterioration of water quality after not changing the water for a long time.

At this point, a quarter of the water should be replaced and the fish tank should be disinfected. Heating: It may also be because the temperature changes too much, at this time, you need to place a heating rod horizontally or vertically in the water to maintain the stability of the water temperature in the tank.

It is caused by the fact that the water is not changed for a long time during the breeding process. Frequent water changes should be made to prevent the growth of bacteria.

It may be that there are a large number of germs in the water that has not been transformed for a long time, and the water should be changed in time to change the water quality.

First of all, the living environment of betta fish is cleaner than that of other fish. Secondly, betta fish belong to tropical fish, so the temperature must be higher. And this fish has to eat some live bait.

However, live bait contains a lot of bacteria, so it must be washed before feeding it to betta fish.

First of all, the betta fish should be sunbathed frequently, because the sunlight can disinfect the betta fish**. Also change the water frequently. in order to effectively prevent white spot disease.

To prevent betta fish from getting white spot disease, first of all, we must clean the water regularly, and the cleanliness of the fish tank is also very important, and put some aquatic plants that are conducive to the growth of betta fish.

If there is only one white spot, it does not explain the problem, if there are many, and each one is not large, it is white spot disease, which belongs to the external parasite, and it cannot be cured by itself, and it needs to be medicated.

One is relatively mild, with methylene blue as the main ingredient, and the water is blue after taking the drug, and you can search for "white spot disease" and "all-purpose fish medicine" on the Internet;

The other is fierce, with potassium permanganate as the main ingredient, and the water is red after the medicine.

The former is generally fine for white spot disease, but it is more thorough to insist on medication for two weeks.

Sprinkle a pinch of salt into the fish tank. Then go to the fish market and buy some medicine. Put it in. It will be fine in a few days.

White-haired ones like this are called water mold ......It is estimated that the landlord's fish is not ...... this problemBetta fish is whitish because the light in the place where your tank is placed is too strong, the color of the fish will automatically become lighter, and betta fish prefer a darker environment.

What to do if a fish has white spots? White spot diseased fish do not need any medicine, and it can be easily cured by warming for a few days.

1.It is inappropriate for betta fish and koi to be kept together, dou prefers a quiet small environment, prefers still water, diving, while koi fish are almost the opposite. Therefore, Dou almost lives in fear, and it is natural that the disease is difficult to treat.

2.Salt water is not very good, you can go to the fish shop to buy white point net, is a special medicine. Use according to the instructions, and change the water more often after you get well.

White spot disease, which can fall off as soon as it warms up.
