Muscle Opacity / White Muscle Disease
Muscle Opacity / White Muscle Disease — Caused by thermal shock, pH shock, low oxygen, mineral deficiency, or bacterial/viral infection. Muscle protein denatures → becomes opaque white.
Symptoms
Opaque white muscle (starting from tail spreading upward), often accompanied by body curvature. Weak swimming, bottom-dwelling.
Risk Level
If opacity covers > 50% of body, irreversible. Must treat within first 6-12h.
Treatment Protocol
1. Maximize aeration, reduce density if possible.
2. Stabilize temperature: cover, increase water level.
3. Mineral supplement: GROWMIN (broadcast), CALPHOS GRO (feed).
4. High-dose Vitamin C: CANFORTA, VIMIX.
5. Reduce feeding 50%.
