What's wrong with the fish's big belly

Many friends don’t know a lot of knowledge when they first start raising fish. Sometimes they find that the fish’s belly is getting bigger, but they don’t know why. If the fish's belly becomes enlarged, it may be sick, such as water accumulation in the belly, a large number of parasites, etc. At this time, it should be treated in time by feeding medicine to avoid the death of the fish.

Goldfish mature and develop a big belly:

When goldfish mature and are ready to lay eggs, their bellies will become big, and at this time the breeder must prepare bundles of aquatic plants for their use. Generally, if there is no male fish to stimulate, the goldfish will absorb it on its own. However, if it fails to absorb, artificial ovulation is recommended to promote its recovery. That is, use your fingers to gently rub the goldfish's anus, and then press lightly from top to bottom to squeeze out the eggs. Pay attention to the moderate force. The squeezed eggs do not need to be discarded, because the goldfish will eat them by themselves.

Goldfish diseases that cause big bellies:

In most cases, a goldfish's big belly is a symptom of illness. Most of the time, it is caused by enteritis, which leads to water accumulation in the fish's stomach, or a large number of parasites in the stomach. If this is true, the breeder does not need to panic. At this time, you should use salt with furazolidone or furazolidone dissolved in water for a medicated bath, or add fluazifopic acid to the goldfish's feed for treatment until it recovers.

How to keep goldfish so they don’t die easily:

1. Choosing fish: A good goldfish looks plump, with rounded ends of each fin, symmetrical body with complete scales, and bright colors. The ancients said, "The body should be thick and even, the tail should be large and straight, the eyes should be even and symmetrical, the body should be straight and round, and the mouth should be closed and wide." Then choose according to the characteristics of the breed.

2. Equipment: Raising goldfish requires a shallow basin with a large mouth. Therefore, if you want to raise goldfish, you should choose an aquarium. Generally, the water depth of an aquarium for raising big fish should be between 25 and 30 cm, and the water depth for raising fish fry should be between 20 and 25 cm. Other hardware includes siphons, oxygen pumps and lighting equipment.

3. Water maintenance: Before raising goldfish, you must first maintain good water. The water for raising goldfish is very important. The most suitable temperature for raising goldfish is 20 to 28 degrees, the best pH value range is 7.5 to 8.5, and tap water must be exposed to the sun for about 24 hours or left to dry for 2 to 3 days before use.

4. Feeding: Feeding is the key to raising goldfish well. When feeding, you need to know what goldfish eat and how to feed them. Regular diet is directly related to the healthy growth of goldfish. Although goldfish are omnivores, you need to pay attention to the reasonable combination of nutrition and avoid feeding them too single.

5. Water quality: Water quality is the key to raising good goldfish. Change the water and clean the filter cotton in time. Generally, change the water every three or four days in summer, once a week in spring and autumn, and once every half a month in winter. Change 1/3 of the water each time, and salvage excess bait and excrement to reduce water pollution.
