Hello fellow aquarists! If you have any questions about raising ornamental fish , you can directly search for fish farming experts and keywords on the entire Internet, so that we can easily raise water and happily raise fish.
Hello, veteran!
I have basically finished watching your video and found that the biggest cause of fish blindfolding is probably water quality.
took a closer look at all aspects of the water quality in the fish tank and found that the filter materials in my waterfall filter were not placed according to the instructions. I arranged the filter materials in a presumptuous manner. As a result, the water in the filter overflowed, and there was no filtering effect at all. Right back into the fish tank. After proper adjustment of
, the overall water quality of has become much clearer, and the blindness of fish has begun to improve. , thank you!
Even if the impurities visible to the naked eye are gone, it does not mean that the water quality will be good immediately.
As for the quality of the water in the fish tank, if we do not pass the water quality tester, we can only observe with the naked eye, which means that can only see how many impurities there are or The color of the water has changed somewhat.
What's more, sometimes, even with water quality testing agents, we still can't detect some slight changes in water quality.
A digression here. Many aquarists are asking, what indicators can the water quality tester measure?
One is the ammonia nitrogen content in the water body, the other is the nitrite content, and finally there is the nitrate content . These are available online. We can search for them ourselves. also has corresponding numerical descriptions.
Others include pH test reagent, chlorine content, etc.
So, even if we change the water and feel that the water quality is very good, it will not be completely stable immediately.
Ornamental fish disease may become more serious, and then slowly stop, recover, and recover.
First of all, we found that when an ornamental fish is sick, it is not necessarily in which process it is.
In some cases, it is extremely slight. After changing the water for 3/4 of the water, there will be immediate improvement and the effect will be immediate.
And some are already very serious. After changing the water, may continue to get worse for a few days, and then it will slowly stop getting worse. will recover slowly until it is cured. This must be a process.
Many novice aquarists think that they can see changes just by changing the water for one day, which is mostly impossible.
Including fin stretching, body color changes, appetite enhancement, scars and scabs, etc.
Whether it is blindfolding, trauma or various ulcers, red blood streaks or even minor body surface pits and small head holes of ornamental fish, it can be passed through Repair with moderate water changes.
My little pineapple changed the water twice in a row, the first time 3/4, the second time half, and the third time half. Although
was not blindfolded, various symptoms such as timidity, easily frightened, abrasions on the bottom of the fins, small acne, and small head holes appeared.
I didn’t add any medicine, I just relied on changing the water, cleaning the bottom filter compartment and other measures, and finally recovered slowly.
In other words, it has been close to a month, and there are still some minor scars on some parts, which are still recovering.
includes the blindfolds of many ornamental fish before . If you want to cure it, it will take about half a month , instead of being cured within a day or two, it will just get smaller and smaller, and finally disappear. Gone.
New water needs to be stable, ornamental fish need to adapt, and diseases need to be nursed back to health
New water can bring sufficient dissolved oxygen, various microorganisms, and minerals, but a large amount of water change may also irritate the surface of the ornamental fish. This amount, It must not be too big.
Furthermore, it takes time to stabilize water quality. Ornamental fish have to have time to adapt to new water, and diseases on the surface of the body also have a slow recovery process.
What we do is just to look at the degree, the direction of development and the process. We can't be impatient as soon as we see it getting worse. It's not impossible to prescribe medicine, but we also have to look at the severity. What are the specific reactions?
It is just during the recovery period of water quality that a handful of fish medicine will destroy it.
If the disease of ornamental fish has not been serious and we are waiting for the water quality to gradually stabilize, a handful of fish medicine may directly break all balances.
Although we can't see it with the naked eye, the ornamental fish and the bacteria in this tank water will definitely sense it.
We are watching here, and nothing is wrong. The water quality is very good, and it is clear to the bottom. It is just a little yellow water due to the drug. The nitrification system has not crashed, and even the test indicators have no problems.
But what? Why are ailments of ornamental fish always bad?
So I have been saying, don’t treat small things in fish farming as big things. Many aquarists always feel, are these problems just small things? So raising fish is no big deal, right?
Yes, there are no big things in fish farming. If the main water quality problem is not understood, it must be a big thing, and the others are basically minor things.
Must remember, don't be impatient, small problems only require time, time for the water quality to stabilize, time for the ornamental fish to slowly recover, we have to give them a certain amount of time to adjust themselves.
I am an experienced fish farmer, please stay tuned for more ornamental fish issues, thank you!
