What medicine does silver dragon fish take when sick. Let's find out.

Cat head lice: a disease caused by arthropod cat head lice parasitic fish feeding on fish blood. When the number is small, the parasites can be removed directly by hand and applied with antibiotic ointment. If the fish is young or the number of parasites is too large, the sick fish can be soaked in potassium permanganate solution of 1/80,000 for 1 hour, and the water temperature is 25-30 degrees Celsius once a day for a total of three times. Hyperthermia drugs can also be used.

Erythema: Also known as printing disease, it is a viral disease and can be said to be a terminal illness. Try raising the water temperature to 36 degrees Celsius and combining oral antibiotics with a medicated bath. I recommend trying Henamin.

Self-cutting disease: juvenile silver arowana after being frightened , its dorsal, caudal, and anal fins are partially or completely broken off near the bottom of the body. The fractured surface generally does not bleed too much. Broken fins will grow back on their own. A certain amount of methyl blue can be added to prevent secondary infection. (The dosage is 10% of the usual dosage)

Spine curvature: The symptom is that the spine of silver arowana is curved into an S shape. It may be caused by improper use of drugs at the juvenile stage, poor water quality combined with insufficient transportation or malnutrition. Treatment is almost impossible, the key lies in prevention: keep the water clean, pay attention to balanced and adequate nutrition, try to prevent other fish diseases and try not to use drugs, put in the water pump to increase the amount of exercise of the arowana, and make the aquarium as large as possible.

Anorexia: The sick fish do not eat all day and lie still at the bottom of the tank. The water quality is no problem, it's normal. This is caused by changes in the water environment that make silver arowana feel a sense of urgency. Change the bait to slowly adapt to the fish.

Anchorworm disease: Parasites about 1 cm long can be found on the diseased fish, with their heads hooked in the fish. At the initial stage, the fish appear restless, lose their appetite, and the parasites are red, swollen and bleeding. Serious lead to tissue necrosis. The cause of the disease is that the goldfish have been used as live bait for a long time, and the goldfish brought the anchor worm into the water body where the silver arowana was raised. Its control measures: change to feed other meat animal bait; immerse the fish body with 5-10ppm potassium permanganate once a day.
