Why does my parrotfish have a patch of white on its fins?

Columnar disease – lint disease. (Flexobacterium columnaris, formerly thought to be Chondrococcus columnaris) is erroneously referred to as oral mycosis.

a) Signs of infection. ** A grayish-white film is formed, especially in the head area. But it is also formed on the fins, gills and on the body.

It is often accompanied by white filaments. As the disease progresses, sores may form, fins may break, and the lips and the front of the head may be devastated.

2) Infection in detail. This is a serious contagious disease caused by a bacterium, the Bactillus columnaris. The infection spreads through water and can be transmitted through nets and other aquarium equipment.

When bacteria enter the fish, especially through wounds and small breaks, they multiply rapidly and produce characteristic symptoms.

c) Recommended methods. Styloid disease is very pathogenic and must be treated as soon as possible to the affected fish around the mouth may die within 24 hours. The antimicrobial compound is effective, using special treatment agents formulated with phenoxyethanol, nitrofuranas, benzalkamide chloride (Xinjieer), etc.

The best way to avoid this disease is to let the fish live in a clean and healthy environment, with a small amount of table salt added to the water.

Send a ** over, I can give a detailed explanation. You don't understand that the white stuff can actually be interpreted as at least 3 or more cases.

1. The causative agent of white spot disease is melon worm, which can be infected by tropical fish all year round, and the morbidity and mortality are very high. In the early stage of the disease of symptoms and lesions, the pectoral fins, dorsal fins, caudal fins and body surface ** are scattered in the form of white spots, and although the diseased fish forage as usual, they often gather on the horns of the fish tank and rub each other. After a few days, white spots are all over the body, and the sick fish often float on the surface of the water in a sluggish state.

2. Method: Increase the water temperature to 28 degrees Celsius, and the melon worms will break and fall off after a few days. At this time, replace the water with new water and maintain the water temperature, and the sick fish will basically be cured.

Or use a concentration of red mercury solution, water fish disease fish for 5-15 minutes, for 2-3 days, the effect is good. The fish is soaked in salt for 24 hours and the results are visible after a few days.

This is because the parrot fish is sick, and this is also related to the water quality, and this situation is very serious, so when this happens to the parrot fish, be sure to call a veterinarian**.

It may be that he is not a heavy species of parrot fish, or it may be that the water quality is not good, it may be that it has been infected by bacteria, or it may be that there is something wrong with the body, or it may be that the reproduction is too strange.

If this fish is sick, you should change the water in the fish tank frequently, and then put some disinfectant liquid in the water in the fish tank.

The white flocculent presence on the fins of parrot fish may be caused by white spot disease, mainly caused by low water temperature or large temperature differences. Keepers can raise the water temperature to 28 degrees Celsius, add coarse salt to the tank, and then burst the oxygen and wait for it to recover. It is also possible that water mildew is mainly caused by the trauma not being disinfected in time.

Breeders can first disinfect with red syrup, then take a medicated bath with a 1ppm potassium permanganate solution for a week, and it will have an effect.

1. Reason: The main symptom of white spot disease is the white appearance of the fish body or gills, the main reason is that the water temperature is lower than 25 degrees or the water temperature drops sharply, so that the melon worm has a suitable living environment. Because the water temperature suitable for the growth of small melon insects is 20-26 degrees, if the water temperature in the fish tank is lower than 26 degrees, small melon insects will invade the fish body, and then multiply in large numbers, causing the fish to get sick.

2. Method: The suitable temperature for melon insects is 20-26 degrees. Keepers can first raise the water temperature to 28 degrees, so that most of the small melon worms can be killed.

Secondly, you can add an appropriate amount of salt for disinfection, and the concentration of salt is 2 parts per thousand. Finally, the oxygen is exploded, so that the parrot fish has enough oxygen, so that the small melon worm can be completely killed.

1. Cause: Water mildew disease is mainly injured during transportation or fighting, and it is not treated in time, resulting in bacterial infection. Parrot fish infected with water mold will have a layer of white flocculent on the body surface, and will also have slow activity, loss of appetite, mental sluggishness and other phenomena.

2. Method: First of all, isolate, and then prepare the red potion and apply it to the injured part of the fish. Then take a medicated bath with 1ppm potassium permanganate solution, 20 minutes each time, and persist for about a week, and you can recover.

A layer of hoarfrost on the parrot fish is the external manifestation of water mold, indicating that the parrot fish has water mold disease and needs to be timed**.

The occurrence of water mildew is mainly due to the secondary infection caused by urgency, the fish only due to crowding, movement or other adverse environmental factors, resulting in injury to the body surface tissue, and the water mildew spores in the water are waiting for the opportunity to attach and begin to germinate and form hyphae on the necrotic tissue.

In addition to parasitic tissues, hyphae can also spread and invade nearby normal tissues, secrete digestive enzymes to decompose surrounding tissues, and then penetrate the dermis and penetrate deep into the muscles, so that ** and muscle necrosis disintegrate.

The mycelium on the surface extends outwards to form a cotton wool-like covering, and at the end it forms a sporangia that release free spores into the water and spread through the water.

Your parrot has water mildew and needs to be timely**, don't add medicine indiscriminately!

Saprolegniasis is a form of off-white cotton wool-like covering, also known as cotton cover or cotton wool. Also known as skin mildew or white hair, it is one of the fungal diseases of aquatic fish, and the pathogens that cause this disease have been found in more than ten kinds so far, the most common of which are water mold and cotton mold. The disease is caused by fungal parasitic fish, mainly the fungi phylum Flagellae, subphylum Hydromycetes, Hydromyceae and Hydromyceae of the family Hydromyceae.

**The method is relatively simple, but if you are seriously ill, you can basically consider giving up!

1. The illness is mild, the old three, the temperature rises to 32, increase the salt, pay attention to not edible salt, if you really can't buy big salt, you can fry the edible salt in the pot for 5 minutes and then add it to the tank, eight thousandths of the amount, gradually add it, stop feeding, and turn on the oxygen pump! Add appropriate salt after changing the water 1 5 every day!

2. The disease is slightly severe, and the use of methylene blue 2ppm can get good results again the next day. There is no need to change the water in time and other medicinal effects will decompose, and the water color will become lighter. After 3 days, an appropriate water change can be considered.

Good luck to your fish**!
