Hurrah Pet Fish Academy
The autumn wind brings the fragrance of fish and rice, Wake up the Dream Worm Gang. Hanging pot Ji Shi Sanmiao, Teach the fish tank worm zombie.
Aquarists are welcome back to this little different Pet Fish Academy.
Sorry, I'm a whoop!
Autumn is coming, let's talk about the worm crisis in the fish tank.
Spring and autumn are the peak of parasitic disease outbreaks in fish tanks, how can we safely survive this sensitive period?
This article is suitable for goldfish and Arowana players, as well as koi and small tropical fish players. Expected reading 218 seconds.
Colorful angelfish tank
According to the experience of the uproar, there are two main reasons.
The first is climate instability.
This is mainly aimed at cold-water fish.
Fish tanks for cold-water fish generally do not have heating rods, and the water temperature changes with the change of room temperature.
Autumn is the season of hot and cold air confrontation, and this confrontation will be reflected in the water temperature. Especially in northern China.
The most common result of this sudden rise and fall of water temperature is to induce the outbreak of small melon worms, which is commonly known as white spot disease.
The second is that there are more sources of bugs.
In the summer, the temperature is very high, and many online stores dare not ship the goods, fearing that fish will die because of the high temperature during transportation. As the temperature gradually dropped, various orders poured in.
In the fisheries and various ornamental fish wholesale centers, there is a group of people with the highest fish farming skills in China, who have the ability to do a good job in parasite prevention.
However, with the arrival of the Golden Nine silver ten, ornamental fish from major fisheries and wholesale centers have flocked to aquariums and aquaphiles across the country.
Unfortunately, most aquarium shop owners and novice aquarists have no epidemic prevention ability, and even the awareness of epidemic prevention is very weak.
As a result, all kinds of parasites ushered in a good day of "straightening the waist and being the master"!
The parasite said: Since no one can stop us anymore, of course we have to get up with Pippi!
Anchor-headed flea, a common ornamental fish parasite
There are three kinds of fish tanks that are more likely to become parasites.
The first: a fish tank with new fish added.
This one is easier to understand.
There are no insects in the fish tank, and the more fish enter, the more worms there are.
In the autumn, a variety of ornamental fish in the aquarium market ushered in the peak sales season, countless small fish were invited home by pet fish players, followed by small fish back home, it is likely to have cute parasites.
The second type: a fish tank fed live food.
This is not difficult to understand.
In addition to the possibility of internal mailing, live food may also trigger external mailing.
If your red worms or water earthworms are shipped from regular farms, the likelihood of causing parasitic diseases is low.
If your red worms are from the wild, then be embarrassed, the probability of causing parasitic diseases is too high!
The third type: fish tanks that do not have good water.
This is the problem with the new fish tank.
This is mainly aimed at those who are small whites in the fish farming industry.
Good water quality will make the mucus on the surface of the ornamental fish work properly, which is extremely beneficial for resisting parasite invasion.
If you can't raise water, the water quality is very bad, the mucus on the surface of the body will be abnormally secreted, the immune system is overloaded, the resistance of the fish is reduced, and the small insects will naturally take advantage of the void.
A fish tormented by small melon worms
The first type of insect extermination: concealing the sky and crossing the sea.
Whether you're playing with tropical or cold-water fish, turn on the heating rod from the beginning of autumn to keep the water temperature at 26 degrees.
In this way, you can fool the small eyes of the little melon worm and let it continue to "fall asleep".
At the end of the day, it's to avoid fluctuations in water temperature.
The second type of pest control: Wei Wei saves Zhao.
Since the ornamental fish in autumn are on the market on a large scale, we can't help but buy fish, so let's buy fish according to the safest way.
The safest way to buy new fish is to use the "quarantine tank fish buying method".
This requires that you must always have a small fish tank at home, but also raise water in this small fish tank, new fish go home, don't rush into the main tank, first raise in the isolation tank for a month, not only make the new fish very comfortable, but also have enough time to kill insects and prevent epidemics.
The specific operation process can be found in the article on the use process of the quarantine tank released by The Boy this year, which is extremely detailed.
The third type of pest control: the bottom of the pot.
If you perform the first two tricks, you have the right to use the third plan!
This formula is divided into two moves.
The first trick is to kill insects by eating them alive. The easiest way to do this is to freeze the live food completely, dissolve it again, and feed it to the fish.
The second trick is to regularly drug the fish tank.
Common parasites in autumn are small melon worms, anchor-headed fleas, and ringworms.
For these three kinds of bugs, we prescribe the symptoms and prevent them.
For fish with scales, the fish medicine recommended by The Hoozai is a combination of copper sulfate and ferrous sulfate (this long name refers to the name of one fish drug, not two drugs, don't be surprised by novices), in combination with tometamisole.
For scaleless fish, you can only use the internal and external versions of the large white flakes and the Moster series of fish medicine, which are more expensive, but safe to use.
For the specific application concentration, please refer to the instructions of the regular manufacturer.
Note that the concentration of preventive drug use is usually half of the therapeutic concentration, in order to avoid the disadvantages of drug residues, after 36 hours of administration, activated carbon can be used to remove drug residues, which is foolproof.
This preventive administration, done once a month in the fall, is sufficient.
The core reason is: when the ya has not yet attacked, first destroy the ya!
Even if you use all three of the tricks of the hatchlings, you can't avoid the harassment of the parasites one hundred percent, because the parasite's road to the fish tank is not only the above three, but also others. The article only helps you block the widest three roads. As for the other sheep gut trails, it can only be accumulated by your own experience.
