Black spot disease is found in Blood Parrot cichlids. This disease displays itself as black spots on the fish and is very common in Blood Parrot cichlids. At times Black spots can however also be a sign of that your fish is in spawning mood, illness, or sometimes nothing at all. While purchasing these cichlids, we should never buy Blood parrot cichlids that display these signs of black spot disease and as well as looking reluctant in its movement in the tank. Black spot disease can be also a result of bad water quality. Parrot fish affected will get better if the water quality is improved by changing water by 40% or complete tank cleaning, depending upon the level of quality of water and tank maintenance. Make sure that the water is treated for chlorine. When the water quality is improved or is not poor the fish can get better after a few days.
Before we look into any kind of medication plan, we need to look at reason or cause behind disease. To say many of the disease are caused by unfavorable water condition or the addition of new fishes which carried in the disease to the fish tank. When we say unfavorable water condition, checking for ammonia, nitrites and nitrates will let us be aware of disease faced by fish. Using a simple water test kit available for aquarium would suffice.
Swim Bladder Disease causes the fish to swim abnormally. Swim bladder is an organ that enables fish to swim up and down at will, when functioning properly. Thereby it enables the fish to maintain its buoyancy. When the swim bladder gets blocked, infected or too full of air, it stop to do its work. This puts the fish to a situation of not being able to swim or swim properly.
