Many aquarists who have raised guppies fish believe that they will have such an experience. After raising them for a period of time, the angle of the caudal fins of guppies will obviously become smaller, and in severe cases, they will shrink into a cone. Constantly shaking the body, like to gather in the corners of the water surface or bottom, and finally die. This is the guppies infected with tail-shrinking disease, which can easily cause guppies to die if not treated in time, and is also the most common cause of guppies' deaths. So what is the cause of this disease and how should it be treated?

guppies

The main cause of guppies' tail tail disease or pintail disease is generally because the fish tank for guppies is too small and the density of fish is too large. In addition, there are many residual ears left in the fish tank, and the water change is not timely, which leads to the growth of a large number of bacteria (such as water mold), which causes the guppies to contract tail tail disease or pin tail disease.

To treat such diseases in fish, we can use shuifentan (according to the instructions to use it), or use sea salt for treatment, and sprinkle saturated salt water on the entire guppy tank (adding 1 liter per liter of feeding water). one milliliter of saturated brine). At the same time increase the water temperature to 28-30 degrees. In addition, yellow powder can also be used, which has achieved the purpose of preventing secondary bacterial infection.
