Is fish belly very swollen ascites disease or eat full?

Some fish friends react to Ailong's recent loss of appetite and severe belly bulging. How is it going on? Have you eaten too much or have ascites? I can't tell you apart! Today we are going to teach you to distinguish the differences between the two.

Ascites symptom

The abdomen of the sick fish will swell, and the whole abdomen will swell to the left and right. (if you feed or not, your appetite will get worse.)

The state of illness can be judged at least in terms of mental state.

Symptoms of overeating

If you are too full, you will swell on the lower side of the abdomen and will not develop to both sides. (stop eating and your belly becomes smaller)

Factors causing ascites

The more plausible cause of the disease is flagellate (a single-celled protozoan). This flagellate usually exists in the body, when the fish's immune system is sound, it is unable to harm the fish. However, when the fish is in a stressful or pressing environment for a long time, it loses or reduces its ability to resist the attack of the flagellate, which can easily lead to ascites.

Disease symptoms

In the first stage, loss of appetite, loss of energy and often hiding somewhere in the fish tank.

In the second stage, the fish only look like they are coughing, as if they are trying to spit something out of their mouth.

In the third stage, clearly visible white feces will be discharged and will hang on the anus for a long time.

In the fourth stage, the fish's belly is swollen and then dies (usually before the fish's belly is obviously swollen).

The disease may infect other fish, but it happens slowly. Generally speaking, no more than one or two fish are infected at the same time.

Treatment method

Ascites can be easily cured if it is properly treated in the first stage. However, if it comes to the fourth stage, it can be said that there is no way to recover!

The more effective ingredients for the treatment of ascites are metronidazole, tryptamine and other ingredients. Metronidazole and dysentery can be bought in the drugstore, 4-6 tablets per 100 liters of water, medicine bath for 3 days, single cylinder treatment. If it is not good, you need to change the water of 1PG 3 every day and replenish it with the medicine of 1P3 until you are cured. In addition, when the immune system is impaired, it is also common to be infected with other diseases caused by bacteria, so when fish only produce ascites and are infected with other diseases, they need to be treated with antibiotics.
