Hello, dear aist, welcome again to one of my videos. And today you selected the one on a diseased ancestry.
Yes, a catfish, a Loricardi day that has been suffering. And I show you my findings and.
My observations of the fish that we.
Had in the aquarium. And we found gill rot and a bacterial infection.
And well, my findings here can also be found in my books because I.
Published a lot of details on bacterial.
Infections and also the ways to cure it. So check my literature that can help.
You to understand and how to solve fish disease problems.
Here we have that ancestral bino, a red type albino, you can say, you.
See how skinny it is. And that fish was wasting away. And well, yes, ready for examination.
And we found the gills had a.
Serious infection, bacterial infection. See the gill rot, how badly they.
Are damaged here and here and here, more gills.
You can see the deterioration of the.
Lamellae and here and here.
So that fish had serious respiratory problems. And that's why the fish eventually will not eat and will die.
And also the spleen and the liver were badly affected.
And we could presumably say, yes, a bacterial infection was causing that the fish becomes skinny.
And if you don't act on time.
Other fish might become also serious ill.
And might be too late to treat.
So you have to act quickly, make.
Sure that the fish has enough food. Because this kind of fish, like ancestors, needs to eat at least three times a day.
They love to eat permanently.
Well, they will look for the algae.
In the aquarium or for leftovers, but.
Try to feed them more often.
I would recommend use an antibacterial medication.
But it's sometimes hard to say which.
One is the best to be used.
Normally, a laboratory test of checking the.
Kind of bacteria and sensitivity testing in a laboratory can give you a result in 72 hours.
But that are things that your fish doctor in your area or your veterinarian.
Can help you with.
At the same time, we always recommend to use a functional fish food that.
Helps during the disease and also for restoring the immunity.
And here we would recommend the Dr. Basler buy fish food grapefruit. See destruct Moringa.
