This treatment targets skin and gill flukes (Monogenea, including Gyrodactylus sp. and Dactylogyrus sp.) as well as tapeworms (Cestoda), common parasites that can severely affect fish health.
Signs of infestation may include:
-
Excessive mucus secretion: clamped, ragged, or sore fins;
-
Frequent rubbing: fish rubbing against plants, decorations, or substrate, especially near the head or gills;
-
Visible skin lesions: white or yellow spots due to secondary infections;
-
Skin discolorations: small red or bloody patches;
-
Respiratory distress: irregular or labored breathing, gill spreading, lethargy, and surface swimming;
-
Weight loss: despite normal or increased feeding, fish appear emaciated.
Parasites are often species-specific but can spread through nets, plants, or water. Early detection and treatment are critical for aquarium health.
