The Thunder Dragon Fish is a very skinny ornamental fish, and most of the time they need to pay attention to it, they don't have to pay too much attention. However, the drastic changes in the environment and external influences, or there will be some outbreaks of common diseases of Arowana, today we will talk about the characteristics of the disease and some personal treatment methods, hoping to help the needy aquarists.
The first common multiple disease is blindfolding
In most cases, the reaction of novices is more intense, but in fact, blindfolding is a very common disease and is easier to treat. Blindfolds are divided into: traumatic blindfolds, adaptive blindfolds, infectious (bacterial) blindfolds.
Adaptive blindfold; this blindfold most of the thunder dragons will have, many times only blindfolded when the water quality changes, the time will be maintained in about 8-10 hours to adapt to the water quality, and then it will recover, but like the golden cobra, colorful, Megaya Bonken leopard These kinds of thunder dragons this blindfold is more sensitive, their performance is not the same.
The blindfold of the golden cobra may occur when we change the water, and the adaptive blindfold may occur, which can generally be restored within 3 days.
Colorful blindfold is also more sensitive, and the blindfold cycle is also 1-2 days shorter than that of cobras, so don't worry too much.
The blindfold of the Megaya Bonken leopard needs our attention, this thing has to be supplied, the water quality changes immediately blindfolded, and there may be symptoms of loss of appetite and sudden eyes.
When raising these kinds of thunder dragons, we must pay attention to the amount of water replacement, do not let the fish not adapt, try to change the sinking water into the tank, to avoid unnecessary trouble, in addition to these several thunder dragons, the adaptability of other thunder dragon blindfolds are quickly restored.
Traumatic blindfold; from the name, it is not difficult to see that there is a risk of infection with trauma, after the thunder dragon injures the eye during the fight, a large number of mucous membranes will protect against infection, at this time the blindfold is more difficult to engage. If you are not blindfolded, you cannot be treated quickly, and if it drags on too long, the wound may not be better. Become permanent damage too. During this time period, the first step should be to prevent the infection from causing further deterioration, to prevent infection I generally do oxytetracycline to ensure the safety of the water body. By killing bacteria to achieve the improvement of the blindfold, the follow-up is through the fish's own recovery ability, basically can be recovered.
Infection (bacteria) blindfold; most of them are based on the failure to deal with the occurrence of the situation in time after the trauma blindfold, the blindfold that occurs after the disinfection work is not done, at this time the eyesight of the fish is not even half, the general situation is not easy to treat, the owners are psychologically prepared, the method is to sterilize and disinfect to control the speed of infection, so that the fish have a time to recover the process, but it is difficult.
Frequent common disease - water mold
The formation of water mold is mostly due to the low water temperature caused, water mold in the water temperature below the water temperature of about 13 degrees, will break out of water mold spores, fish will suffer from water mold, this is heated to more than 26 degrees, the symptoms will subside, water mold when the thunder dragon is motionless, looking at it is also a little spirit, a long time of water mold will lead to the death of the thunder dragon fish.
Another type of water mold is that under normal water temperature, there are wounds on the body of fish, and mucus cannot cover the body, resulting in water mold. This kind of water mold often appears after a fight or jumping tank, after the fight and jumping tank, the fish body will be very weak, then the bacteria are very easy to infect the fish body. The mortality rate of water mold is still not low, so it needs everyone to pay attention to, treatment, I personally still dive under the drug, yellow powder I generally do not use, I am using oxytetracycline, sea salt can be added less, and rest, a small amount of water change, medicinal bath 3-5 days can basically begin to recover, but still have to be quiet, so as not to relapse again.
