Symptoms of Neon Tetra Disease (NTD)

  1. Fading Colors: The vibrant blue and red coloration fades, often leaving the fish looking pale.
  2. Fins Curling or Damage: The fins may appear frayed or curled.
  3. Lethargy: Infected fish may become more sluggish, swimming less actively.
  4. White Cysts or Patches: Small white cysts can appear, typically on the skin, which may eventually lead to the fish’s body deteriorating.
  5. Loss of Appetite: Infected fish often stop eating, which can lead to further weakening.


Causes:

Neon tetra disease is caused by a parasite called Pleistophora hyphessobryconis, which infects the muscles and tissues of the fish. This disease is highly contagious, so if you have other tetras or related species in the tank, they may also become infected.

Treatment:

Unfortunately, there is no known cure for Neon Tetra Disease. The best course of action is to quarantine infected fish to prevent the spread of the disease to others. The infected fish should be euthanized to avoid prolonged suffering and prevent the spread to healthy fish. Additionally, thorough cleaning and disinfection of the aquarium and any equipment used in the tank should be done to eliminate the parasite.

Prevention:

  • Quarantine New Fish: Always quarantine any new fish for a few weeks before adding them to your main tank.
  • Maintain Good Water Quality: Keeping the water clean, with proper filtration and regular water changes, helps prevent many diseases.
  • Avoid Overcrowding: Stress from overcrowding can weaken fish, making them more susceptible to diseases.

IS IT IMPORTANT TO FILL WATER AND RELEASE FISH?

When you go to the fish store, you see a bunch of new fry that are very healthy, active, and hungry, but when you buy them and put them in your tank, after a few days you will find that the fish hide and don't want to eat. On 5th and 6th, some fish will turn black. About 1 to 2 weeks later, some fish will die. At this time, you will not understand why the fish died, or you will think the fish is sick so you mix medicine for the fish, use all kinds of medicine but the results get worse the more you treat it, in the end only a few fish are still lucky enough to survive. When such a situation occurs, it will be inevitable to think that the fish store was dishonest when selling problem fish to you without knowing that sometimes it is your unintentionality that makes you no longer interested in raising lovely fish.

FILL WATER AND RELEASE FISH IS IMPORTANT.

In the process of raising fish, releasing fish and pouring water into the tank is very important, but this step is not given enough attention by fish keepers. Most fish keepers only apply the experience of buying new fish, placing the nylon bag in the tank, waiting for the water temperature in the bag and in the tank to reach uniformity, then putting the fish and water in the nylon bag into the tank.

People often only pay attention to the water temperature and ignore the water quality. For some fish with strong adaptability, there is no problem, but for some fastidious fish, this can be the cause of their death. The water quality is not the same anywhere, for example, the east and west of the same city, even between this area and that area not far apart, the water quality is not the same, especially for fish of imported origin, the water quality is even more different.

PROCEDURES FOR FILLING WATER AND RELEASING FISH

  1. Place the fish bag in the water to balance the temperature (20 minutes). 

  2. Let the fish get used to the new water/Acclimate ( ~5 hours )
  3. Add the new fish to the tank
  4. Turn off the lights, let the fish rest, do not feed. Only feed after at least 1 day.

    FISH WATER CHANGE PROCESS
    Tap water: Tap water is clean and sterile, so its uses are not inferior to rain water. However, if you use tap water to replace fish tank water, you should pour it out first to let the water evaporate and the chlorine will be gone so the fish can live well because the disinfectant in tap water is small particles that are harmless to us but have a significant impact on ornamental fish.

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND EASY TO GROW AQUATIC PLANTS IN AQUARIUM

Aquatic plants are plants adapted to living in saltwater - freshwater environments. They can live completely in water, partially in water or in moist environments such as mud. The main factors controlling the dispersal of aquatic plants are flood cycles and depth. In addition to other factors such as nutrients, salinity, water wave fluctuations, etc., they also greatly affect the dispersion and development of aquatic plants.
The trend of using aquatic plants on the table to decorate the living - working - fish tank decoration space has been popular with many people recently. Aquatic plants not only have a beautifying effect but also help purify the air to make living and working spaces cleaner and fresher and create beautiful aquariums.

1.Pearl aquatic plant

Pearl is the most popular foreground aquatic plant today, favored by aquarists because of its adaptability, fast growth, and not being picky about the substrate. Pearl is an easy-to-grow aquatic plant that spreads quickly, lives easily, and does not require too much care. Beautiful green color, when the fish tank overflows, creates a green space for the aquarium to become fresh.
When growing Pearl, you need to pay more attention to the quality of the water source. Pearl adapts quite well to many different water environmental conditions, but you still need to change the water regularly to limit moss in the aquarium, as well as to give the plant enough nutrients to grow best. If harmful algae grow strongly, they not only absorb all the nutrients from the plants in the tank, covering the glass surface, but also affecting the ornamental fish in the tank.

2. Buffalo grass

Buffalo grass is an aquatic plant that is loved for its wild beauty. When there is high light and adequate nutrition, the aquatic plant will grow very quickly. These trees connect together and form a lawn.
In aquariums, you will have the opportunity to kill the roots of capillaries stuck in the floor and shoot seedlings from below. The plant can live on land in moist soil and reach a height of up to 20cm.
However, it is difficult to bring them from semi-land into an aquarium where they can live. So when buying fried auculia at the store, pay close attention to this.  The lush green carpet of fried fish is an ideal place for fish to lay eggs, creating better conditions for the fish in your swimming pool and creating beautiful aquariums.

3. Fish Bone

The Fish Bone aquatic plant is a beautiful plant with foliage arranged in the shape of a herringbone. They also tend to grow straight like the Rong La Han plant, but in terms of appearance, the Fish Bone plant is somewhat more beautiful. And this is also an aquatic plant that does not need soil or CO2, it is very easy to live, just needs good lighting conditions and a slightly cool temperature to grow.

4. Dog tail seaweed

Because of its green color and soft appearance, dogtail algae is often planted in the background by aquarists. They grow very quickly and form clumps, so this plant contributes to making the aquarium more natural and beautiful like a mini forest at the bottom of the tank.
This is an aquatic plant with high adaptability, so it can easily adapt to different water environments such as ponds, lakes, and fish tanks, so it is very popular in aquariums. In the countryside, people often pick up this plant from natural ponds and lakes and drop it in a water bowl. The plant can grow well.
In order for the dogtail plant to grow normally, you should also choose the number of plants appropriate to the number of fish raised. At that time, the feces excreted by the fish is enough to provide the necessary nutrients for aquatic plants to grow.

5.Chrysanthemum

Chrysanthemum is a plant that is very easy to grow in aquariums. It grows well in high light conditions and rich nutrient tanks. If additional CO2 is added, the plant will produce beautiful green and spreading leaves. With relatively high growth and good nutrient absorption, Thuy Cuc is also a great candidate for aquariums with overnutrition.
The Chrysanthemum plant is chosen by most new aquarists because of its ease of care, as well as its great beauty, an extremely cool green color, so it is chosen as a plant in the aquarium. Aquarists who often use mixed substrates also often use Chrysanthemum plants to absorb nutrients during the initial stages of setting up the tank. The Water Chrysanthemum plant is really suitable for beginners in aquariums or for plants in newly set up aquariums.

6. Seaweed Chrysanthemum

Seaweed Chrysanthemum has the scientific name Egeria najas (Another name: Seaweed Chrysanthemum) is an aquatic plant that is easy to grow, easy to care for, does not require high nutrition, does not need water flow in the tank but the plant grows quickly so it needs to be pruned regularly, suitable for use in aquariums. 
When you first install new aquariums in your home, the first thing you need to think about is what to plant in the aquarium, other than the plant other than the sycamore plant because it grows very quickly, helping to prevent moss in the tank because the plant will absorb a lot of nutrients in the water and make your aquarium cleaner.

7. Spoonweed

Spoonweed is an aquatic plant that is very easy to grow in aquariums. It grows well in high light conditions and rich nutrient tanks.
If additional CO2 is added, the Spoon Grass will produce beautiful green leaves that spread out. With fairly high growth and good nutrient absorption, Spoonweed is also an excellent aquarium plant for aquariums with overnutrition.

8. Ferns

Ferns are often used in aquariums to decorate driftwood and rock areas. Unlike most other aquatic plants, they can be planted directly in the ground. Ferns are aquatic plants that do not require soil. 
You should tie them to hard substrates or decorative rocks in the tank. Plants also do not require much light and CO2, so they are quite easy to grow and are also an extremely effective living filtration system.

9. Lance tree

This is a popular plant that is easy to see in aquariums and aquariums today. This plant is often used as a very good medium with large leaves that make them the highlight of the tank.
In addition, they are also very easy to grow, do not require too high CO2 levels and grow completely normally in areas with low light levels. This is also the type of aquatic plant in fish tanks that has the leading effect of filtering water for tanks today.
