How to Handle Sick Fish? The Correct Methods Every Breeder Must Know

Livestock Farming 0 views
If you notice abnormal signs in tropical ornamental fish such as loss of appetite, listless swimming, abnormal body color, or a white film growing on the body, these are all warning signs of illness! When you find ornamental fish suspected of being sick, you should scoop them out of the aquarium as early as possible and place them separately in another aquarium for isolation and treatment, to prevent the disease from spreading! At this time, note the following: 1. When scooping fish, move gently (to avoid the fish struggling in fright, which could spread the pathogens, and to avoid injuring the fish's body); 2. When isolating, be sure to use the original water (putting a sick fish into new water will instead lower the sick fish's resistance)!

The isolation aquarium only needs an aeration device and a heater; there is no need to add sand, aquatic plants, or a filtration device, which makes it convenient to use medication! Every day, the sick fish should receive a small amount of sunlight exposure, and the water quality should be kept clean. If the sick fish can still eat, you can feed it a small amount of live food each day, and after 30 minutes, there should be no live food left in the aquarium (live daphnia is best)! Feeding a small amount can strengthen the sick fish's constitution and help it recover its health as soon as possible!!
