What to do if the fish is sick

If your fish gets sick, here are some common responses:

1. Observe behavior: Carefully observe the fish’s behavioral patterns and look for abnormal signs, such as loss of appetite, decreased activity, difficulty breathing, fading of scales, white spots, etc. This can help determine what diseases your fish may be suffering from.

2. Isolation: Isolate sick fish and place them in a separate container to prevent the disease from spreading to other fish.

3. Water quality testing: Ensure that the water quality is good, including parameters such as temperature, pH value, ammonia nitrogen and nitrate. Poor water quality may cause fish to have reduced immunity and become susceptible to infection.

4. Professional consultation: Contact a veterinarian or pet store expert to describe your fish’s symptoms and consult with them about appropriate diagnosis and treatment. They can provide more accurate advice.

5. Medication: Choose appropriate medication based on professional advice. Be sure to use the medication as directed, following the dosage and usage cycle.

6. Hygiene of the breeding environment: Keep the fish tank or aquarium clean, change the water regularly and clean up the residue at the bottom to reduce the growth of bacteria and parasites.

Remember, professional advice is very important when it comes to diagnosing and treating fish disease. Taking early action improves your fish's chances of recovery.
