    The filtration system is more important in the environment of captivity, because the fish tank is an extremely closed environment, and the excrement of the fish has been accumulating in the water, if there is no way to eliminate these wastes, in the long run, the peacock will not grow beautiful, and even reduce the resistance to disease, just imagine if humans live in a place full of garbage, unable to dispose of the garbage, in the long run, there are several people who can bear it, not to mention the guppies that are more vulnerable than humans.

    Since most of the guppy players use many fish tanks to independently raise a variety of different strains of peacocks, so if each tank has to set up a complete filtration system, I am afraid that not everyone can afford it, so the most common filtration method used by guppy players is to use a sponge pneumatic filter, and the filter we discuss is also based on this, the benefits of the sponge filter are: easy to install, and the economic burden is lighter. And there is no need to worry about the small fish born by the female peacock will be sucked into the filter, the disadvantage is that the sponge is easy to be affected by the blockage, the user had better clean it regularly, because some factors that cause disease will always remain in the filter cotton, if you do not deal with it for a long time, I am afraid that there will often be diseases.

    There is also a more commonly used filter that is, the submersible type of filter, the use of the motor to suck the water into the use of filter cotton to filter impurities in the water, the effect is quite good, the market can choose from a variety of products, only need to clean the filter cotton regularly, it can be said that it is very convenient, but the cost is too high, if the number of fish tanks at hand is large, I am afraid that each tank is used one, then it must cost a lot of money. Other filters, such as upper filters, cylindrical filters, and even trickle filters, can be used in guppy tanks as long as they are well filtered, but the most important thing is to fit the size of your tank and the budget for your rearing.

    Red tail? What color it is. The general color does not change.

    I don't know what my appetite is when I sink to the bottom. I don't like to eat either. If that's the case, I don't know.

    I've tried a lot of things and I haven't been able to save it. Hope someone knows.

    The Black Death in guppies may have been caused by poor water quality. At this time, it should be placed in a clean environment with clean water and sterilized with superstrong and special sterilization. It could also be because the water temperature fluctuates too much.

    At this point, the water temperature needs to be adjusted to between 27 and 30, and then it is medicated with a griseofulvin solution**. It can also be caused by a fungal infection. At this time, mycotocin is used as a bait for feeding, and a drug to prevent bacteria, such as clotrimazole, is added to the water.

    First, the water quality is poor.

    1.Reason: Fish are exposed to turbid water for a long time. There are many bacteria in the water, which can easily invade the body of the fish and make it sick.

    2.Treatment: Put the sick fish into an environment with clean water and use a filter to keep the environment clean. And use superstrength and special sterilization to clean up the remaining bacteria on the fish. These two drugs are more effective and can usually reduce the symptoms after three or four days.

    Second, the water temperature fluctuates too much.

    1.Reason: Fish are in an environment with large temperature fluctuations. It does not adapt to changes in water temperature in time and is prone to colds. This weakens its immunity, which can lead to illness.

    2.Treatment: Control the water temperature between 27 and 30. The fish are then placed in a griseofulvin solution for a medicated bath**. Vitamin C is also injected into the water to improve the fish's immunity.

    3. Mold infection.

    1.Cause: Mold in the water breeds and infects the fish, such as filamentous cysts. It is mainly adsorbed on the surface of the fish**, and once the infection occurs, it will cause the fish to get sick.

    2.Treatment: Place the fish alone in the tank and stop feeding. It is fed once a day with mycotocin as bait. When things get better, drugs to prevent bacteria, such as clotrimazole, can be added to the water. Wait until the fish has healed before stopping the medicine.

At this time, you can only throw away the guppies, if they have not been infected with other fish, then it is best to turn over the tank, isolate or throw away the sick fish, and put the fish that are not sick into the fish tank that has been changed and sterilized.

    Common diseases of guppies include white spot disease, rotten tail disease, pintail disease, etc. Disease prevention and control needs to start from two aspects: adjusting the living environment of fish and sterilization and disinfection. The main purpose of regulating its environment is to make the water quality and temperature reach the right conditions.

    That is, to ensure that the temperature is at 21 29 to avoid sudden increases or decreases in temperature. The water should be clean and acidic or alkaline as the fish like. In terms of antibacterial, an appropriate amount of salt can be added after each water change to achieve the effect of sterilization and disinfection.

    1.White spot disease: small white dot-like cysts on the gills or body surface of fish, and in severe cases, small white spots are all over the body.

    2.Tail rot: The end of the tail begins to rot and then spreads to the base of the tail and, in severe cases, other fins.

    3.Pintail disease: Sick fish are restless, their fins tighten, and their bodies are uncoordinated when swimming.

    Most of the causes of illness in fish are the deterioration of their living environment, which leads to a decrease in immunity, which allows germs to take advantage of it. Therefore, in the process of disease prevention and control, it is necessary not only to prevent bacteria and viruses, but also to ensure that the living environment of the fish meets the standards. In terms of antibacterial and antivirus, edible salt can be added to the water to achieve the effect of sterilization and disinfection.

    If the fish has a wound, it should be timely**, otherwise it will be infected with bacteria and cause illness.

    The environmental conditions are mainly based on water quality and temperature. The water quality should be adjusted to the acidity and alkalinity that the fish like, and the water quality should be clean. The oxygen content in the water should be sufficient.

    Avoid sudden changes in water quality every time you change the water. The temperature should be controlled in the range of 21 to 29. and maintain stability to boost their immunity.

    When changing the water, pay attention to the temperature difference between the new water and the old water should not exceed 2.

    Guppies are susceptible to white spot disease, and there are scattered small white spots on the fish. Generally, white spot disease appears because the water temperature is too low, and the keeper should turn the water temperature up a bit, and then prepare some medicinal baths for them, and they will get better soon.

Sometimes symptoms such as difficulty breathing, lateral swimming, and breathing with the mouth open may occur. However, the precursors of different diseases are different, and different abnormal symptoms will appear.
