Koi is an ornamental fish with great ornamental value, rotten tail is a very common phenomenon in the breeding process, especially for koi with long fins and long tails, once infected with rotting tail disease, its beautiful appearance will be lost in an instant, and its ornamental value will be completely lost, and what is more serious is that the rotting tail disease will jeopardize the life of the koi. Therefore, when you find koi with rotting tail disease, you must diagnose and treat it in time.

The most important cause of koi rot is due to bacterial infections, mainly as a result of a combination of the pathogens Columnaris mucococcus and mycobacteria.

Infection is generally caused by three situations, one is that the breeding density is too high, the fish pond filtration system is overloaded, resulting in fish excreta, residual bait, etc. in the fish pond can not be filtered in a timely manner, thus deposited in the water, triggering the breeding and propagation of germs and making the fish infected; the second is because of the failure to do a good job of disinfecting and killing pests when there are new fish in the pond, resulting in cross-infection; the third is that when the water is changed, the difference in the quality of the water, the water temperature, or the fish nervousness causes the fish to feel uncomfortable, so that the abnormal secretion of the surface mucous membrane and the edge of the fin is infected because of weakness.

Koi rotting disease occurs throughout the year, and in severe cases the entire tail fin rots off, and the diseased koi can greatly diminish their ornamental value.

So what are the symptoms of rotting tail disease in koi?

1: The edges of the fins are rotted or even look like they are corroded. Usually more common in the median and caudal fins.

2: The fins are discolored. For example: white, red;

3: Not moving, lying on the tank, rubbing against the tank.

4: Retracted fins, and fins that don't fully open even when swimming.

After the disease, the koi swims slowly, the former majestic and smooth posture is gone, when the disease is serious, the koi's body loses balance, unable to swim and ingest food; the koi's caudal fins and caudal peduncle are congested and inflamed, the inter-fin tissues are destroyed, and the ends of the fins are moth-eaten; in the end of the rotting tail disease, the caudal fins of the diseased koi are rotten, and the muscle of the caudal peduncle is ulcerated.

Treatment of Koi Rotten Tail::
1, you can use 1% malachite green aqueous solution applied to the place of rupture of the caudal fin, once a day for 3-5 days, and combined with the method of skin inflammation and congestion disease control.

2、Put 0.2g of furacilin powder in 100kg of water to disinfect by dipping, and the condition can be relieved after several times of medication.

3. Put dysentery tablets in the water and soak the sick fish for 30 minutes, the dosage should follow the medical certificate.

4、Put hygromycin tablets in the water to soak and disinfect, can prevent infection of this disease, the dosage please follow the instruction guide.

In fact, koi rotting tail disease and koi skin inflammation and congestion disease is more or less the same, the better way to prevent this disease is to maintain the water quality, the establishment of a perfect fish pond filtration system, the water will naturally be good for the fish.
