Most of the diseases of peacock fish are caused by the negligence of the breeders themselves. The diseases usually caused are as follows: Four major factors:

Deterioration of water quality: The biggest cause of deterioration is water pollution caused by overfeeding and accumulation of harmful substances caused by dirty filters. As long as the daily feeding is appropriate, as well as proper filter cleaning and water quality adjustment, this can be prevented. Although it is necessary to change the water properly, do not change the water in large quantities, which will harm the guppies and need a little attention. In addition, if the filter is over-cleaned, it will also wash away the multiplying filter bacteria, which will lead to the deterioration of the water quality.

Changes in water temperature: Guppies are ectothermic animals, which change their body temperature with the surrounding water temperature. Whether the water temperature is high or low, it will hinder the normal operation of the fish's body, especially if the water temperature rises or falls, it is the biggest fatal injury to the guppies. As a result, the metabolism in the body is not smooth, and the appetite is also low and will be weakened. It is also necessary to pay attention to the excessive drop in the morning and evening of the season.

Rough contact with the fish body: The surface of the guppy's body is particularly slender and easily damaged, so be careful when picking it up with a fishing net, otherwise, once the body surface is damaged, bacteria will invade from the wound and become infected . Do not damage the fish with your fingernails if you do not use a net to pick it up by hand. Please pay special attention.

Bringing sick guppies into the aquarium: It is estimated that the largest proportion is the infection of other fish. If you put the newly purchased guppies in the aquarium, you must confirm it first. , whether there is a disease or keep it in a quarantine tank for three to five days to confirm that there is no disease before putting it in.
