How to Treat Fish Lice Disease
Fish lice, crustacean parasites, are disc-shaped, about 5mm in diameter, and swim in the water. They parasitize fish, suck the fish's blood, and at the same time release venom, causing the fish's skin to become inflamed and red. The fish becomes restless and unable to rest, its fins become folded and shrunk, and it rubs against the gravel and decorations in the tank. Small red spots with a pink center are visible to the naked eye.
Use tweezers to remove the fish lice one by one, or place the diseased fish in a 1 percent salt water solution, and after one or two days the fish lice can be eliminated. Alternatively, dissolve 1 gram of sodium permanganate in 100 liters of water and bathe the fish for 1 hour.
