Some aquarists asked, are ornamental fish that are not afraid of lack of oxygen also get sick? In fact, they will not only be sick, but also have many problems, let's take the silk-footed perch as an example:
Among the small tropical ornamental fish, there is a class of fish that belongs to the silk-footed perch family, the biggest feature of which is that their ventral fins are transformed into two long whiskers like swallow fish, just like their two feet, and then they are born with breathing organs that can not be afraid of lack of oxygen.
First, common varieties
The common species of the silk-footed perch on the market are: fighting fish, lili fish, pearl vest, blue mandrow, zhao cai fish, etc., so the habits and breeding methods of these ornamental fish are basically similar, but it is more surprising that their respective problems are very different.
Second, what are the main common diseases of fighting fish?
1, generally speaking of the silk-footed perch fighting fish, most of them refer to the Thai fighting fish, and our Chinese fighting fish is relatively smaller than the Thai fighting fish, the disease is much smaller.
2, because visually speaking, it seems that the color and variety of Thai fighting fish are more gorgeous, and then one is also hyped by merchants, so most new aquarists generally contact Thai fighting fish.
3, in its not afraid of lack of oxygen, can be raised alone in small containers under the publicity, so that the Thai fighting fish life water temperature and water quality is extremely unstable, so they are very susceptible to melt fins, white spots and water mold and other symptoms, if from now on, we start to raise when the water temperature is higher than 22 degrees, can raise them for a year of new aquarists are very few.
4. For Thai fighting fish, the water temperature and water quality remain stable, which is the only guarantee that they can be raised well.
Second, Lili fish love acne
1, if from the delicate and body color, the lili is not inferior to the fighting fish, and then one is that the lili fish can be bred in groups, they are the most docile small fish in the silk-footed perch family.
2, but in most cases, the lili fish sold in the market is basically male fish, female fish are almost not on the market, which is the first major shortcoming of lili fish, too many male fish together, there are not many cases of fighting with each other, coupled with long-term hunger, lili fish will be sick.
3, unlike other ornamental fish of the silk-footed perch family, the probability of lilifish being able to suffer from water mold and white spots is not high, because they can be raised in groups and heated uniformly, but due to various fighting injuries, lilifish love to suffer from rotten mouths and various acne diseases, if it is treated, it will be very troublesome, most of the aquarists' lili fish are dead from this disease.
4, for this disease, in fact, or with the fish body is too weak, the body has a little trauma and poor water quality related, and then it is caused by a long period of low temperature, so we should prevent the above situation, if found in time, with the old three kinds of conditioning plus iodine volt smear anti-inflammatory, it is still possible to cure.
Third, the blue dragon fish is susceptible to water mold
1, blue dragon fish can also be kept in groups, their only drawback is that the mouth is relatively low, often to eat fish smaller than their size.
2, in addition to the water temperature is not suitable, blue mandrow will suffer from water mold disease, other diseases are not common, but this water mold disease is also quite fast infection, we must pay close attention.
Fourth, fortune fish are prone to erythema disease
1, Zhao Cai Fish and Blue Man Long are still relatively similar in personality, the fighting between them is relatively strong, so there are not many times when the Body of Zhao Cai Fish is clean, and the body of Zhao Cai Fish can be cleaned up, that is a very high level.
2, so the most susceptible to fortune fish is erythema, the body is always more spots, this with anti-inflammatory drugs can soon be cured.
Fifth, the pearl vest has fewer problems
Pearl vest relative to the above other varieties, less disease, the earliest longer body shape on the market has been rare, most of them are spherical, if it is weak, the general probability of suffering from white spot disease is larger, we can be completely cured through heating therapy.
Sixth, how to distinguish which fish are not afraid of lack of oxygen
1, many aquarists for not afraid of hypoxia of ornamental fish do not know much, do not know how to distinguish, in fact, very simple, in addition to the above these silk-footed bass, most of the ancient fish, tool fish, ratfish, are not afraid of hypoxia fish, we can carefully observe when feeding.
2, as long as it is from time to time, regular to the surface of the water to breathe, and then quickly dive into the bottom of the ornamental fish, most of them can breathe on the water, not afraid of lack of oxygen ornamental fish, such as Fortune Catfish, Seven Star Knife Fish, Scavenger Fish, Thunder Dragon Fish and so on.
I am a veteran of fish farming, more ornamental fish problems please pay attention, thank you!
