CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How to raise tropical fish peacock?

How to raise tropical fish peacock?

When raising fish, pay more attention to three aspects: water temperature, bait, and feeding methods.

1. Water temperature

Guppies have strong adaptability, so they don't have high requirements for water. They usually live in water temperatures between 18 and 24 degrees. In general, the room temperature can meet their water temperature requirements, but in winter it is recommended to use a heater to control the water temperature at around 22 degrees, or a little higher, which can promote the activity of guppies and strengthen their body function resistance!

2. Bait

There are two types of bait for guppies. One is the artificial feed sold on the market, which includes flake feed, pellet feed, and frozen feed. The other is live bait. In terms of safety, it is recommended that live bait be given priority.

The best live bait is silkworms. On the one hand, silkworms have very high nutritional value and can survive for a long time, which can increase the growth rate of guppies. On the other hand, feeding the medicine to silkworms in advance before feeding guppies can be used as medicine bait, which has a very good effect. It should be noted that silkworms live in the wild and there will be some parasites in their bodies. It is best to deal with them when feeding.

Brine shrimp (nauplii) is also a good choice for live bait. Hatching brine shrimp eggs does not take too long and does not require too many procedures, but after hatching, they should be fed as soon as possible, otherwise their nutritional value will be slightly discounted. However, if there are extra hatched brine shrimp, they can be frozen and used next time they are fed.

3. Feeding

It is not recommended to feed too much food to newborn peacock fish to avoid the small fish not being able to finish the food and polluting the water quality.

Usually, before the sex of the peacock is determined, try to feed it high-protein food. However, after the male and female fish can be raised separately, remember not to let the male fish eat too much high-protein food. The female fish can be fed as much as possible to make the female fish's body shape more round. It should be noted that if the amount of feeding increases, the frequency of water changes should be increased to avoid the water quality deteriorating too quickly, causing diseases to breed and harm the peacock fish.

Adult guppies will like every kind of feed, but don't feed them the same kind of feed for a long time to avoid single and unbalanced nutrition that affects the growth rate of guppies. In addition, you should feed them some live bait regularly to enhance the nutrition of guppies.

【Disease Prevention】Talking about the remaining fuel

1. Guppy Needle Tail

A needle-like tail. This morphology can only occur when the fish is young. Most adult fish cannot reach the "needle" stage. Under a scientific breeding environment, fish aged 1-6 months are less likely to get this disease, but it can occur in all age ranges and the harm is extremely serious.

Temperature is the most common factor that causes pintail, and it also has the greatest impact. As long as you pay attention to this, farmed pintail can be well prevented. For the congenital defect type, the toilet tactic should be adopted, and individuals who become ill should be directly eliminated.

2. Guppy Saprolegnia

The occurrence of white film on lips, eyes, body and other parts of the body, and the growth of hyphae in wounds are all fungal hazards. In oligotrophic water bodies, the chance of this disease occurring is very small. If it is combined with a high temperature of more than 25 degrees, the prevention effect will be better. Setting a reasonable temperature according to one's own ability to control water quality is the simplest and most effective way to prevent this disease. If the water quality control ability is low, the temperature will be relatively adjusted to a high point, but it will increase the chance of needle tail. Set the temperature as appropriate.

Low temperatures are what mold likes most, especially in the range of 18-22 degrees. If you can set the temperature within this range without causing fungal diseases, it means that your water quality management has reached a very good level.

3. Guppy gill mold

It is a kind of fungus, which is significantly different from gill rot. Gill rot mainly occurs at the turn of spring and summer, and is mainly caused by the massive reproduction of bacteria in the gills, which will cause congestion and, in severe cases, window opening. The symptom of gill mold is the massive reproduction of fungi in the gills. The gills will not open, and the gill covers will swell up. In the late stage of the disease, the biggest characteristic of fish is suffocation. They will either not move in the water or shuttle violently. Usually, they can't be rescued at this time, so you should pay more attention to prevention.

4. White spots on guppies

White spots on fish are the most common disease and also the easiest to treat. Prevention is better than cure.

Pay more attention to observation and develop a good habit of observing fish every day. The earlier the discovery, the better the treatment effect.

【Notice】

The onset of white spots is sometimes accompanied by an attack of needle tail; water mold and gill mold usually occur together. Once they occur, they are very difficult to treat. Therefore, fish lovers are advised to read more relevant information on the prevention of these two diseases and treat them as the top priority of winter disease prevention.

How to treat saprolegniasis in tropical fish?

Question 1: Treatment of Saprolegniasis in Tropical Fish! Saprolegniasis is usually caused by not changing the water for a long time, the water is too dirty and the fish are not exposed to enough sunlight. Here is a method that can cure most tropical fish diseases:

The first thing is to get some clean water in a small container, add 1% salt or potassium permanganate solution, and soak the fish in it for half an hour.

Then I cleaned the fish tank thoroughly, disinfected it carefully, and changed the water.

Next, put the sterilized fish back into the fish tank and give them a salt water bath every morning and evening. Change to potassium permanganate after 10 times, and change the bathing liquid every 10 times until they are cured.

Generally speaking, as long as the disease is not too serious, it can be cured.

If the disease is caused by parasites, you can use a ruler to raise the water temperature for treatment. Slowly raise the temperature of the fish tank to around 30 degrees, and you can see the parasites falling off with the naked eye.

If you use these two methods together, the fish will generally recover quickly.

Question 2: How to prevent and treat saprolegniasis in tropical fish? It is difficult to treat fish diseases because the physique of sick fish is very weak. If the medicine is not used properly, the fish disease will be more serious. Fish diseases are mainly caused by long-term poor water quality, just like people who live in an environment with bad air for a long time are also prone to diseases. The key to raising good fish is filtration, and filtration is mainly to filter fish feces. The toxins in the water are all produced by fish feces. The fundamental purpose of fish filtration is to remove the ammonia poison produced by the decomposition of fish feces in the water body. This can only be done by biological filtration, and nitrifying bacteria are a kind of bacteria that specializes in the ammonia of fish feces as nutrition. It can convert ammonia poison into substances that are harmless to fish, so that the water body will be non-toxic and the fish will be healthy and less sick. If there is a lack of nitrifying bacteria in the tank, there will be very few nitrifying bacteria, and the fish feces cannot be treated in time. The ammonia content of the water body is high. If fish live in ammonia-toxic water for a long time, their physique will gradually become weak and they will be easily invaded by viruses in the water. Just like in the space where humans live, there are always various viruses in the air. Healthy people are not easily harmed by viruses, while weak people are more likely to get sick. Therefore, timely removal of ammonia poison produced by fish feces is the fundamental guarantee for fish to be healthy and less sick. Baidu Yongqing Filter has a function of automatically cleaning fish feces, which will be helpful.

Question 3: How do I cure the Saprolegniasis of my tropical fish? Raise the temperature by 2-3 degrees every half a day until it reaches 30 degrees, then add yellow powder (furan powder) until it is soaked. Change the water in small amounts, and make sure the water temperature is not lower than the original water in the tank.

Question 4: There are tropical fish in the tank that have water mold disease. How to deal with it? First, take another tank or bucket, with 15 liters of water, raise the temperature to 30 degrees, add 1% salt, add 1 tablet of metronidazole, turn on oxygen (preferably water fairy), and change one-third of the water the next day. The water should also be changed at the same temperature. Just follow the above steps, and you can clearly see that the water mold has disappeared after three days.

Of course, if your fish can no longer swim fast and sinks to the bottom, you can try to reduce the dose by half, but there is a 50% chance that it will be sacrificed.

Question 5: The most effective way to cure tropical fish Saprolegniasis is to change the water frequently. During the treatment, the fish should be fasted. If it is not a planted tank, you can add a trace of potassium permanganate and other drugs. If conditions permit, it is best to aerate and oxygenate the water to improve the water quality! Slowly improve the water quality, and it will be cured in a week to half a month!

A major reason for the outbreak of water mold is weak filtration and frequent water changes!

Question 6: How to treat ornamental fish with Saprolegniasis? (1) Dissolve 0.3g of rock malachite green or methylene blue in 100kg of water and soak the fish for 10-20 minutes. After a few days, the mycelium will fall off and the fish will soon regain its original color. Sprinkling a 0.02ppm concentration of malachite green solution in the fish tank has a certain effect on preventing fish eggs from getting moldy.

(2) Mix and dissolve 250g of salt and baking soda in a 100*55*45cm aquarium. Repeat this process several times and the effect will be significant. Because tropical fish are extremely sensitive to salt, no matter what disease they have, the symptoms will be alleviated after a few days of soaking or splashing with salt water.

(3) Install a 15-watt ultraviolet lamp on the top of a 100*55*45CM aquarium and irradiate it for several hours a day to effectively inhibit or eliminate the growth of water mold.

(4) Soaking the diseased fish in methylene blue solution or placing the diseased fish in 1% salt water or penicillin solution is also effective.

Question 7: How many days does it take for fish to be cured of Saprolegniasis? Recommended treatment methods:

Use sterilizing water + methylene blue (or a small amount of formaldehyde) + a small amount of coarse salt together. The dosage is as described in the instructions and can be increased appropriately. Generally, it takes 3-5 days to take effect. Do not use the medicine for more than 7 days. Change the water by 50% at a constant temperature every 24 hours. The water change speed should be slow. The water to be changed must be water that has been trapped for 24 hours. Add the medicine after changing the water.

The last resort is to neglect management and improper use of medication, which has led to the condition being out of control. Be mentally prepared before using this method. The fish may die. Do not use this method as a last resort:

Method 1: Malachite green. Follow the instructions to use malachite green and dissolve it in water in half. Then put it into the fish tank. Change the water in large quantities after 2-4 hours.

Method 2: Dissolve potassium permanganate in water and then put it into the fish tank. The concentration is hard to describe. It doesn't have to be very clear, but it's good enough to see the fish. Prepare 2-3 vitamin C injections. If the concentration is too high and the fish have adverse reactions, add it immediately to dissolve the potassium permanganate. Time 30 minutes-1 hour.

Malachite green and potassium permanganate are both toxic, especially malachite green, which is highly toxic, so it is strongly not recommended to use them. If you want to use them, the dosage is very difficult to control, and a large number of fish may be sacrificed~! Be careful~! Be careful~!

Saprolegniasis is not easy to treat, so everyone should spend more time observing their fish every day, early detection and early treatment, do not wait until the disease is out of control before trying to treat it, then everything will be too late, even if the fish is cured, the body will not have the original natural pattern~! I hope everyone has a tank of healthy fish~!

Question 8: How to treat goldfish Saprolegniasis? 1. Find a basin and dilute potassium permanganate with water to make it purple-red. Put the goldfish in and soak for 15 minutes, then add vitamin C solution to detoxify (the solution becomes colorless). After 15 minutes, put the goldfish back to the original tank for recuperation, then pour out the medicine. Continue for a few days to see the effect and then adjust the medication.

2 The water mold outbreak is caused by the deterioration of the original tank water quality, so the original tank water must be replaced.

Make sure the water temperature in the medicine bath basin is consistent with that in the original tank. Also pay attention to this when changing the water. Do not allow for temperature differences, otherwise the goldfish will catch a cold and the condition will worsen.

Question 9: How to treat tropical fish diseases? The main tropical fish diseases include bacterial corruption, gill rot, red skin disease, scale disease, white spot disease, Ichthyophthirius, Saprolegniasis, enteritis, bubble disease, wheelworm disease, skin congestion, cottonmouth disease, cold disease, floating head disease, etc. There are several treatment methods for tropical fish diseases: 1. Fish body medicated bath and whole tank medication: This is the most commonly used treatment method at present. Medicated bath is to soak the sick fish in the drug solution for a certain period of time, bathe the fish with the drug solution, and then put it into the feeding water for breeding. The sick fish should stop eating for 12-48 hours before the drug bath to reduce oxygen consumption, and the drug solution should be prepared and used immediately. Whole tank medication means applying the drug in the original breeding tank water. This kind of medication requires a low concentration of the drug solution, because the fish body has to endure the stimulation of the drug for a relatively long time. It should also be noted that the whole tank medication should not be carried out at night, because it is inconvenient for the breeder to observe the reaction of the fish at any time after the medication is applied, and take measures in time when the situation is found. The drug should also be prepared as needed at night. 2. Oral medicated bait: The medicine can be mixed into dry bait and fed to the fish to cure the disease. The medicated bait should also be prepared as needed to avoid deterioration and ineffectiveness. 3. Injection treatment: The aqueous or emulsion of the medicine can be injected into the fish muscle or abdominal cavity to achieve the therapeutic effect. 4. Manual treatment: For sick fish with parasites, the parasites can be removed manually, and then the diseased area can be coated with medicine for treatment. 5. Improve the water environment: Adjust the water's pH, water temperature, hardness, light, salinity and other physical and chemical indicators so that pathogens cannot survive, so as to improve the fish's ability to resist diseases and achieve the purpose of curing diseases. The treatment, medication and methods of specific diseases can refer to the treatment methods of goldfish diseases.
