What about the white spot of the sweeper?

The scavenger gets his name because he likes to eat the residual bait and dirt in the aquarium and plays a role in purifying the water quality. in the process of scavenging fish culture, we sometimes find that there are white spots on the body of the scavengers. In fact, most of them are suffering from white spot disease. White spot disease is one of the most common fish parasitic diseases, which will seriously affect the health of fish. Let's take a look at what to do with doffer white spots.

Symptoms of leukoplakia in the sweeper.

Scavenger fish rub hard objects with their bodies in the early stages of the disease, hoping to remove unpleasant pathogens, and many white spots can be seen on the body surface, fins and gills. As the hunger gets worse, the street sweeper becomes thinner and thinner, floats on the surface or in a corner of the cluster, and rarely moves. In the later stage, the body surface of the sick scavenger fish is covered with a white film, the mucus increases, and the body color is dull.

Prevention of leukoplakia of scavengers

Prevention of scavenger white spots can start with the characteristics of the pathogen. Because melons are not resistant to high temperature, they usually stop developing at more than 25 ℃, and when the water temperature rises to 28 ℃, they will die naturally, so the treatment for tropical fish suffering from white spot disease is not too troublesome, as long as the water temperature is maintained at 28 ℃ or 30 ℃, and all the cysts on the fish's body surface will fall off after a week. The effect will be better.

1. 1/1000000 mercurous nitrate can be used for medicine bath treatment in the fish tank where scavengers are raised, but mercurous nitrate is a highly toxic product, which will cause great harm to the human body and can easily lead to cancer, so it is not recommended.

2. If the scavenger fish is seriously ill, 2/1000000 mercurous nitrate or 5/10000000 malachite green solution can be used to wash the diseased fish for 2 hours or 3 hours to relieve the symptoms of the diseased fish, but malachite green is also a highly toxic product that can cause great harm to the human body and is easy to cause cancer. and it's not recommended.

3. Soak in 5% salt water for several days or with 2/1000000 methyl blue solution for 6 hours a day.

4. 50/1000000 to 70 (50~70ppm) red mercury solution can be used to soak for 5 minutes for 15 minutes, twice a day. After the white spot disappears, it is still necessary to use medicine for a period of time to kill the small melon insects that are not attached to the fish.
