The root cause of white spot disease in marine fish is caused by flagellates ovale. They can attach to any place during the floating period, such as live rocks and seawater tank walls. During the floating period, they will look for accommodation. The body breaks out of the shell and becomes an adult. The marine fish white spot disease pathogen that lodges in the seawater fish will reproduce the next generation of larvae. At this time, the adult worm will divide outside the body, causing the team of marine fish white spot disease pathogen to grow, making the seawater fish white spot disease. The body surface of the sick fish is unsightly!
However, Giardia ovale, the causative agent of white spot disease in marine fish, can be said to be everywhere, but why is it so common only in marine tanks? White spot disease in marine fish in nature is not so scary. Why is this? What is the reason why white spot disease in marine fish only occurs excessively in marine tanks? In fact, in summary, it is caused by various unnatural factors in the seawater tank, uncertain factors of water quality, water temperature, pH, ammonia content, etc., which are different from nature and difficult to control. Once a certain link of the internal circulation of the seawater tank goes out, The problem has caused the immunity of saltwater fish living in saltwater tanks to decrease and the ecological circulation system to be destroyed, which has led to the outbreak of white spot disease in saltwater fish from time to time, becoming the nemesis of saltwater fish in saltwater tanks!
There are various species of saltwater fish living in saltwater fish tanks, but why are some species of saltwater fish that often suffer from saltwater fish white spot disease? In fact, the fact that some marine fish do not suffer from marine fish white spot disease does not mean that they do not carry the marine fish white spot disease pathogen. They may have certain immunity to marine fish white spot disease, but such as the blue tang marine fish species are not susceptible to the disease. The scaly saltwater fish species are not so lucky. They are dubbed the king of white spots because their fish body surface is the most susceptible to being damaged and infected with skin diseases such as saltwater fish white spot disease!
