As an aquarium enthusiast, ornamental fish, ornamental shrimp, ornamental snail breeding are considered novices, there is no 20-30 years of experience of the gods, only a few years from the group to feed and then breed a little experience, and the happiness after every day of worry, I hope to share the interesting things, troubles, experiences here to everyone, but also welcome good friends to point out, communicate together, find friends with common interests. #Aquarium ##Ornamental Snail ##Orange Rabbit Snail##Pest ##鱼缸除藻 #
Healthy orange rabbit snail
Although the ornamental snail is more solid than the ornamental fish skin, but there are also some problems, especially the rabbit snail, need everyone's attention, today I will tell you about some of the problems I encountered in the process of raising snails, from the three aspects of water quality and diseases, insect pests, the purpose is to make the rabbit snails healthy and happy life.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >, the disease of rabbit snails</h1>
Generally speaking, the judgment of whether the rabbit snail is sick is mainly from the perspective of feces, smell and state.
The best to distinguish is the feces, healthy rabbit snails, the shape of the feces is generally strips, the color is generally the color of the food you feed, if you feed green vegetables for a long time, the feces are green, if you feed carrots for a long time, the feces are orange. If we find that rabbit snails are thin, we need to pay attention to enteritis. If we find that the rabbit snail does not move for several days and has not come out of the shell, I usually take it out to smell, the healthy rabbit snail has no odor, only the smell of water, if there is a rust smell, it is sick. If it stinks, it's dead.
I haven't taken a picture of enteritis, so let's put it healthy
1. Enteritis
Enteritis is the most important disease of rabbit snails, but it can be seen early, and it can be cured, do not wait until the late stage, there is no cure.
Early symptoms:
Pulling out is a white flocculent excrement, sometimes very long, just like in the drawing, this time need to be treated quickly.
Late symptoms:
It is no longer a white flocculent, it has become dark brown, and at this time it is obvious that the rabbit snail is emaciated and weak, and there is no cure at this time.
Causes:
One is the newly purchased rabbit snail, which does not know what has been experienced during transportation, and does not go through the transition cylinder directly into the tank, which is particularly prone to disease due to great changes in the environment;
The other is food spoilage, spoilable food mainly has two kinds, one is the vegetables we prepare for the rabbit snail, one is the occasional dead fish and dead shrimp, these two can not stay in the water for a long time, such as steamed vegetables, generally in the evening feeding, if there is residue in the morning, try to fish out, in order not to leave food, we try to make vegetables into small pieces, silk or flakes when feeding in the evening, so that after a night, there will be no leftovers.
Food becomes smaller and fished out overnight to avoid spoilage
Treatment:
After the early symptoms of enteritis are found, be sure to fish out the rabbit snail in shallow water (water depth of not more than 10 cm), water with water in the rabbit screw tank, do not use new water, do not have to feed, wait for the rabbit snail to defecate, generally will be white flocculent feces, and then there will be brown flocculent feces, and then the flocculent feces gradually begin to have small spherical feces, to the end not to thin, this process is about 3-5 days, it should be noted that these days must change the water every day, but also with the original rabbit snail tank water, and then deepen the water depth, 15 cm-20 cm, can be fed a small amount, mainly to see whether the rabbit snail eats or not, but be sure to fish out the overnight food to avoid repeated enteritis. If the rabbit snail feces are in a normal shape and can also be eaten, they can be put back into the tank. Early enteritis is treated this way, and there is a 90% chance that it can be cured.
Keep food fresh and keep rabbit snails healthy
2. Card snail
The so-called card snail, in fact, is difficult to give birth, only rabbit snails occur when giving birth to children, the main object of the disease is orange rabbit snails, black rabbit snails, tiger rabbit snails, etc., they lay eggs at a time a young snail, but the young snails are relatively large when they are born, it is said that some young snails have exceeded 1 cm when they are born, and the general birth of my own is more than 0.5 cm. This phenomenon of snails does not occur in the starry rabbit snail, because the juvenile snails of the starry rabbit snails are generally about 0.2 cm when they are born.
The neck was stiff and could not be retracted
symptoms:
The neck is elongated, it cannot be retracted into the shell, the movement is stiff, and it is very uncomfortable to see at a glance. Sometimes, after this action is maintained for a period of time, you can see that a white egg has been born, and if the rabbit snail still maintains such a stiff action and uncomfortable state, there is a high probability that there is no juvenile snail in the white egg born.
The young snails are too large to develop, the fetal position is not correct, stuck in the mouth of the large snail, and it is difficult to give birth.
Juvenile snails are older at birth
No, at present I do not know how to treat, nor can I find a cure, can only wait for the big snail to sacrifice, smash open the shell, rescue the small snail. Fortunately, this is not common, and I have only seen it once.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > second, rabbit snail infestation</h1>
1. Worms
Snails are the main natural enemies of rabbit snails, and they will burrow into the shell of the snail and slowly eat the snail meat. Sometimes the rabbit snail shrinks in the shell for a few days and does not come out, this situation is mostly a problem, and some rabbit snails do not come out in the sand, which is also divided into two situations, one is to drill sand during the day and come out at night, the problem is not big, generally in the rest, or in the sand, rubbing off some things that make him uncomfortable, such as snails. Another situation is that I can't get out of the sand at night, and most of the time I have problems.
This is also the picture I look for on the Internet, I have very little in the tank, can not take pictures
Worms and large amounts of white translucent mucus can be seen on the snail shell.
Get some salt water to clean the rabbit snails, not too much salt, just a little bit. Put the rabbit snail in question, soak it for 10 minutes, then take it out and put it in a transition tank, use the water of the rabbit screw tank, rest for 10 minutes, and then put it in the salt water, so repeat several times, the worm will crawl out on its own, until there are no more worms crawling out of the salt water, and the rabbit snail can be put back into the tank after cleaning.
2. Blood sucking insects
Blood sucking worms are generally newly purchased rabbit snails, these are the origin or business hands do not pay attention to the health and environmental products, blood suckers do not remove, rabbit snails will die.
The picture on the Internet, that red dot is
The state is sluggish, the most important thing is to carefully observe for a period of time, you will see the appearance of red spots of small insects, this is the blood sucking insect.
Like worms, washed in salt water.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > third, the problem of water quality</h1>
In the process of raising rabbit snails, water quality is definitely the first element.
Fresh water promotes metabolism and is clean
1. Water replacement problem
Generally we all use tap water, so trapped water is definitely the first priority, generally exposed to air water needs to be trapped for three days or more, to drain the chlorine in the water.
Rabbit snail is a variety that likes new water, not that every day needs to change the water, if there is a condition, it is enough to change one-sixth of the day, if you can't take care of it, two to three days to change a fifth on the line, if you are really busy, a monday change is the most extreme frequency, change a quarter to a third, as long as you are trapped in water for more than three days, don't worry about the rabbit snail will not adapt. It is best to add nitrifying bacteria regularly, not too often.
Moderate water change, rabbit snail health, beautiful environment
2. PhH value problem
Rabbit snails like weak alkaline water quality, so coral sand, green dragon stone is essential, but still pay attention not to too alkali, will make the shell of the rabbit snail brittle, like to climb high and low rabbit snail easy to break the shell, this will not repair itself. This question has been said many times, interested friends can check out my previous articles or videos.
Climb the rabbit snail high and low, don't break it
Thank you friends, welcome to the homepage, I am also filming these little guys interesting videos, welcome to the guidance.
