The Poor Fish

These days I'm a little bit sad , cuz one of my fish was sick , I just bought yesterday . I usually buy fish from fish shop . because fish health guaranteed . but yesterday I bought from people who sell on the street , just pity , on a hot day , he sells a lot of fish were placed in plastic . It is also not good for the fish , they are hot, and oxygen will be quickly depleted , I know this fish which i bought is very cheap, the fish is not treated properly by the seller . but I bought it .

Poor Fish

When I observe, the fish was not swift moves . whereas species of fish ( koi ) , including agile fish . other fish bit many times, sure, he's sick . The clue that fish is sick, while the other fish tried to bit, it means that the fish is not healthy. I immediately separate the poor fish .

This thing I'm doing, the fish are sick are not infectious disease to the other fish . there may be bacteria or mold. I have to separating the sick fish soon, good for the fish , the fish will not be bothered with another fish, so the fish can rest well, to restore its condition .

I see a red striped tail , down to the bottom of his body . any loss scales , fins reddish also , this name is tail rot deseas. caused by bacteria .

I have a small aquarium , a special place to quarantine fish who is sick. I half fill with clean water , and the other half of the ordinary aquarium water . I connect the hose aerator immediately , so that the fish get enough oxygen . do not forget I gave him the salt . This salt function to kill bacteria , I only gave 10 % of the total salt water . because the fish is sick , then aerator should not be too strong . because the water bubbles , will move blindly fish, so the fish cant rest . I set it as comfortable as possible for the fish . Every 1 hour once, I check , is he still breathing ? he had two nights at the quarantine . I saw her tail , improved , not too red as yesterday , but still scales fall off . body is not red anymore , I hope his condition gonna continue to improve . I tried to give food , he doesnt want to eat , meaning his condition still not good . but I'm sure he 'll get well soon , just need intensive care.

Condition, I believe tomorrow will be better than now. I'm here to help you.
