The growth of this disease can generally prevent the occurrence of this disease. Once it occurs, the following treatment methods can be used.

Treatment: 2%-3% saline immersion, once a day, 5-10 minutes each time. 1 to 2 parts per million (1-2ppm) malachite green solution of the special drug is soaked for 20-30 minutes a day. Two parts per million (2ppm) potassium permanganate plus 1% brine is mixed and the diseased fish is soaked for 20-30 minutes. Increase the water temperature to inhibit the growth of water mold.
