Fish Eye White Blurring Issues May Not Be Due to Water Quality; Treatment Is Not Difficult
Hello everyone, I am Old Dao who raises fish, and I will share more ornamental fish breeding and practical knowledge. Please follow us to raise and keep fish easily and happily!
If our ornamental fish develop oculi opacity due to poor water quality, there is no doubt that we should solve the water quality problem.
Regarding the physical filtration system of the aquarium and water quality, Old Dao has published a video yesterday, 'The best physical filtration for the aquarium' and 'relevant matters'. I don't say it is completely correct, but for small ornamental fish, it is at least what I have used, and it is effective for me, ensuring the water is clear and the fish is bright.I absolutely use it, ensuring the water is clear and the fish is bright.I will introduce it again in an article later.
Besides water quality problems, can ornamental fish also develop oculi opacity? Of course, there must be, even if our water quality is crystal clear, and even if it isdetected with all indicators passing ornamental fish will still develop oculi opacity.
The aquarium is too big, I don't want to see it, don't I fear it? I would rather cover my own eyes, and I won't be afraid. Of course, this is just a lie we make up for ornamental fish. In fact,
it comes from the extreme fear of ornamental fish.We will find that in the ornamental fish with very good water quality and developing oculi opacity, the most common ones are
such asSeven-color God Fish, Dragon Fish, Parrot Fish, Tiger Fish, Guppies, Koi Fish, etc.
And many other breeds, such as goldfish, various small tropical ornamental fish, such as Peacock Fish, Zebra Fish, Black Molly, Rainbow Skirt, Rasbora, Red Green Light Fish,they rarely appear in good water quality and develop oculi opacity
because they are more courageous.Or we can say that even if we raise ten Red Green Light Fish in a two-meter aquarium, as long as the water temperature and water quality are suitable, they will not develop oculi opacity. But if we raise two or three small Tiger Fish, or a pair of adult Seven-color Fish, various problems will appear.The reason is simple, it is
psychological oppression
which isa major taboo for breeding all sensitive ornamental fish.The parasitic or bacterial infection in Inner Mongolia basically has no solution.The development of oculi opacity in ornamental fish is internal and external. Most of the time, it is external oculi opacity
which refers to the external eyes of ornamental fish
due to infection with water quality or psychological oppression, they appear with a white opacity resembling cataracts, which is relatively easy to treat, and may also be related to someeye scratches caused by fighting between ornamental fish.And the internal development of oculi opacity, although it may be caused by bacteria or parasitesbut it is extremely difficult to treat, and in many cases, it is impossible to cure, especially when we have obviously seen a large area of white opacity in the eyeballs, which may soon become blind.Although ornamental fish can rely on smell to eat, even if their eyes are blind, they will not die, but they will greatly affect beauty. We need to pay attention to water temperature, water quality and food feeding from multiple aspects.In general, when we encounter problems in breeding ornamental fishthe probability of Inner Mongolia problems is extremely lowor this problem may occur before buying the fish, then
it may not be that the ornamental fish is blind.Psychological issues lead to ornamental fish developing oculi opacity, which must be relieved.Many fish keepers think that eliminating the psychological oppression of ornamental fish is a headache. In fact, it is not. We can start from the following aspects:
One, reduce or increase the breeding density
How to say this? If the breeding density of ornamental fish is too low, it is too spacious for the aquarium. We can reduce it moderatelythe problem of water volumespecifically, I have mentioned it before, and I will shrink the aquarium to raise fish.Why do we still reduce the breeding density sometimes? One is the problem of over-crowding, which we will talk about later, and the other is
excessive density
can cause the surface of ornamental fish or their eyes to rub, and we cannot even adjust the water quality.
Two, keep the water quality stable and calmly raise fish
This is the best way to relieve the psychological oppression of ornamental fish, which isturning off the lights and keeping them calmit may take three boxes for ornamental fish, we also need to see the temperament and personality of ornamental fish, some ornamental fish dislike transparency, such as Parrot Fish, Dragon Fish, and Leopard Fish, if they encounteran opaque container, if it is small, they will jump out of the box without hesitation.They don't care about it.
Seven-color God Fish, Sword Fish, etc., can be raised in a three-box transparent tank. Ornamental fish and ornamental fish are different. For ornamental fish that don't want to be raised in a transparent tank, we only need to turn off the lights and keep them calmly.Don't disturb them.Secondly, I mentioned before that there is a problem with the height of the aquarium, which many fish keepers don't pay attention to. I have said in my videos, which is the butterfly carp from my upper-level aquarium if it moves to a lower position, the change in the height of the aquarium will also oppress it. Because for these ornamental fish, they feel that what they see in the water is almost the same as their peers, even if our heads are big.
But if we suddenly move a pair of Red Green Light Fish to a very low position from a higher aquarium, they will be afraid because they see the upper body of the person in the water appear in the water surface, which is the 'enemy' for them, so of course they will be afraid.
This requires us to adopt a small meal and a large feed method, reduce our height appropriately to feed in the early stage, such as sitting on a small stool to admire fish, don't suddenly stand up to scare them, it will take three or five days for them to adapt, at that time, we can stand up to the fish tank to feed, their eyes will only seefood.Breeding ornamental fish is about making these details successful, considering them, they will not have so many psychological oppressions.Three, eliminate the oppression of the weak over the strongThere is also a psychological oppression of ornamental fish caused by
the same species
this problem is simple, it is bullied, I can't beat you, I'm angry, and I got injured, and I'm always worried and fearful, which reduces the body's physique, so it develops oculi opacity.This is also what we need to pay attention to, I don't want to say it early, the fighting between Dragon Fish and Tiger Fish is clearly visible, to eliminate the oppression of the weak by the strong, the best way isto isolate the same species or single-tank breedingbut single-tank breeding, also needs to pay attention to the above problems.
Finally, there is the adjustment of water and medication, integrated management
If ornamental fish develop oculi opacity due to psychological oppression, in the case of large breeding density, the water quality in the tank may not be good, we still need to improve the water qualityespecially the slight oculi opacity of some ornamental fish, mayheal with water changes.
The remaining thing is to treat the oculi opacity while relieving oppression.If ornamental fish develop oculi opacity because of psychological oppression, it is better to cure it by feeding it with medication
the effectiveness is very significant, but don't say that it's completely cured, it's almost the same.
Why don't some ornamental fish heal from oculi opacity even when using the same medicine?
Simple, the water quality is not treated well, and the work of relieving pressure is not done wellFinally, I want to say that the oculi opacity of ornamental fish can also be caused by poor water quality.Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that the body of the ornamental fish is too weak, which is incurable.
That's the most beautiful word, which isOld Dao who raises fish, more ornamental fish problems please follow.Thank you!
