Golden wave, blue wave seed belongs to the South American short seabream, from the Dutch phoenix artificially improved, living in the tropical rainforest area, belongs to tropical fish, so we need to heat up when we raise in the fish tank, to give the fish a constant temperature environment, generally controlled at about 26 degrees. I believe that many people raise Kimboko is also attracted by its cute big eyes, round body, flowing long tail and pink little face, in the emerald green grass tank, watching Kimboko leisurely swimming around, it will be a very beautiful enjoyment.
However, after all, the kimbo seed is an artificially improved fish, which does not exist in nature, so it is relatively weak and prone to disease, but this does not affect the enthusiasm of fish farmers to raise it. In order to raise kimbers well, you need to know what diseases such fish as kimbers will get, what the causes of this disease are, and how to treat them. This issue first introduces one of the common diseases of Kimboko - white spot disease.
What is white spot disease
White spot disease is one of the most common fish parasitic diseases, also known as melon worm disease. It is more common when the temperature difference between day and night is large at the turn of the seasons. Usually, when we change the water in the fish tank, we do not pay attention to the temperature difference between the new water and the old water, which will also stimulate the outbreak of white spot disease. The small melon worm is spherical in shape, covered with cilia all over the body, about 0.8 mm in diameter, and is a small white spot visible to the naked eye. In the case of water temperature of 18-23 ° C, small melon worms often parasitize under the skin, tail fin and gills of fish, suck the nutrients of fish body tissue, and stimulate the fish body to secrete a large amount of mucus, so that a white pus bubble is formed on the surface of the fish body, all over the fish body. When Kimboko suffers from this disease, it is manifested in the appearance of white spots on the fins, and the fish appear sluggish, floating on the surface of the water, and rarely moving. In severe cases, it causes the fish to be densely covered with white spots, stop feeding, lose weight, and have difficulty breathing until death, and the course of the disease is generally about 5 to 10 days.

The cause of the occurrence of white spot disease
The occurrence of white spot disease is directly related to the change of water temperature, and the water temperature is at 14-25 ° C, which is the most suitable temperature for the propagation of small melon insects. When the water temperature is below 10 °C or above 28 °C, the larvae of the small melon worm stop developing or gradually die. Usually, when we change the water in the fish tank, we need to ensure that the trapped water temperature and the water temperature in the fish tank are as consistent as possible, and the temperature difference is too large, such as a difference of five degrees and ten degrees, which will definitely stimulate the outbreak of small melon worms. Therefore, prevention and early detection are the most important, such as when small salt particles are seen on the fins of a fish. If you don't pay attention to observation, when the fish are covered with white spots, it is dangerous.
Treatment of white spot disease
The most economical and safest way is to raise the water temperature to 30 degrees. The method of using the method of small melon insects not being tolerant of high temperature promotes the rapid maturity of the spores produced on the surface of the fish body, accelerates its growth rate, and causes them to fall off the surface of the fish body. At the same time, stop feeding, put another oxygen head, and burst oxygen. Because the fish have no appetite at this time, the things they eat are not easy to digest, and it is easy to cause enteritis. The explosion of oxygen is due to the decrease in the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water after heating up, and the fish are replenished with the oxygen they need.
This process takes about three to four days to take effect. Novice aquarists are not recommended to use drugs for treatment, because the size of the water body in the fish tank at home is different, the water quality is different, the water temperature is different, the dosage is not easy to control, and the fish can't stand to go directly back to their hometown, and there is no effect of delaying the treatment time with less.
