Fish mackerel is a very difficult to find parasite. Without careful observation and without timely treatment, the fish mackerel will eventually cause the ornamental fish to fester to death. It seems that this parasite is not very familiar to everyone, don't worry, this issue we will talk about the prevention of fish and fish and the killing of fish and fish. But beware! Fish flounders and fish lice are not the same! Fish lice are parasitic in the mouth of fish, replacing the tongue of fish, also known as "shrunken head fish lice". But today we are talking about fish mackerel, a parasite on the surface of the body.
< h1 class = "pgc-h-center-line" >what is a fish mackerel</h1>
what? Fish flounder? What kind of thing will the fish grow? Eh, it really will. Fish mackerel is a very small, hard-to-detect parasite on the surface of the body. Generally speaking, adults are only five or six millimeters long, breeding particularly quickly, the body is translucent, and there are two suction cups that can be firmly adsorbed on the surface of ornamental fish. There are four pairs of feet on the chest that can be used for swimming. Parasites that can swim are really rare, and if they can't find a host, they will swim until they find a host. Fish flounders have mosquito-like needle-like mouthparts, and they use this "needle" to suck the blood of ornamental fish, which is obviously harmful to fish.
Fish mackerel is relatively difficult to find. Because after all, it is translucent, and it is only five or six millimeters in size. It's hard to spot without being careful. It is actually fine to keep it in a glass jar, but it is basically impossible to find it in a dark container.

Fish that are generally infected with fish and weeds will have some more obvious symptoms. When the number of fish mackerel reaches a certain number, the ornamental fish will become very impatient, very difficult to settle, like to bump around, and will also be accompanied by the phenomenon of rubbing the tank. If your ornamental fish have frequent rubbing of the tank, don't worry too much, be sure to take a good look at it first to see what is wrong with the surface of the body. With the naked eye, as long as the fish raised in the glass tank are infected with the fish gills, it can still be seen if you are a little more careful, pay more attention to the finned fish gills.

The main source of fish mackerel is most likely due to feeding live fish worms. Because after all, this thing also looks like a fish worm, and it is easy to mix in when feeding. It is mainly a matter of fish and insect sources. Wild fish insects are the most likely to carry fish and weeds. Be sure to pay attention. Frozen fish worms usually do not.
< h1 class= "pgc-h-center-line" > the point is - how to deal with fish and mackerel? </h1>
So, once it is determined that ornamental fish are infected with fish weeds, how should they be treated? The surface parasite of fish and fish is actually very easy to deal with. If the number is small, it is directly removed by hand. But if there are a lot of them, and every fish has them, you must be drugged as soon as possible. First of all, let's talk about the small number: the general number is small, you can buckle it by hand, but it is difficult to buckle, because the fish flounder has two suction cups, it is recommended to use 1% concentration of dimethoate solution to apply to the place where there is a fish flounder, put it in water after thirty seconds, and then apply it again the next day, it is basically fine, and the fish and mackerel will directly die and fall off. Or mix the solution according to 100 liters of water with 0.5 grams of dimethopod crystals, and then let the fish medicinal bath for five minutes. After five minutes, the fish and the fish are basically anesthetized, the fish and the fish will fall off, and the fish can recover as long as they are put into the water to burst oxygen.
If the condition is more serious, you can put 0.3 grams of avermectin according to 100 liters of water to take the drug, during which the filter has been open, the medicinal bath is three days, and the water should be changed every two days. Then the newly replaced water should continue to be replenished in proportions. It will be cured soon.
