Case of Fish Disease nr.1 ICH or White Spot disease on freshwater aquarium Sole Cynoglossus

Hello, welcome to my first fish disease case about egg or white spot disease.

Well, let's start with this most common.

Fish disease and in effect one which.

Is very easy to find by a.

Microscopic dissection and observation.

Here we see the few white spots.

On egg or on synoglossis, also called tongue or sole. See the few spots here on the body.

Fish were still pretty healthy, moving well.

But if you use in your aquarium.

Or fish tank some extra light like.

From the flashlight, you can observe much.

Easier the white spots on the body of the fish.

This helps you to detect the parasite much faster, which is very important because.

You have to treat as soon as.

Possible in the first stages of the disease.

And if you take a skin smear.

Here we see at 100 magnification the.

White spots as parasites moving around.

If you know that those are parasites.

And they're moving around, they're causing damage, they're causing lesions.

They might make little holes in the.

Skin of the fish and the mucus.

So a possibility of secondary bacterial infections.

Might occur for the treatment of ich.

Like here on this sole.

The first thing we always treat as soon as possible.

And like here on the bottom, avoid the spreading.

Make sure your work bi is secure.

That the nets you use in that.

Fish tank are not used on other.

Fish tanks, that you keep the water and the fish separate from other fish.

Until you sure that the fish are.

Treated well and free of disease.

I can recommend that you raise the.

Temperature with a few degrees Celsius so.

You speed up the life cycle of the parasite.

And then the baby tomites come out.

And they are easier to kill with the medication that you normally apply in the aquarium. We recommend mostly for anti ache medication.

Malachite green or a similar product like Farnamore from aquarium Muenster.

I treat for a minimum to seven.

To 14 days, like the brochure will tell you.

With the medication that you bought, I can recommend to siphon off the bottom.

Two times a day to remove the.

Adult white spots because they go on the bottom.

If secondary bacterial infections occur or appear.

Try to treat accordingly with an antibacterial.

Medication like Ferltadone or nitrofurazone or a.

Similar drug because this can happen after.

The lesions caused by the parasites.

So you have to have two medications ready.

We also recommend the feeding for 10.

To 14 days with our Dr. Basleer Biofish Food Matrine. And this helps the fish to fight.

Off the parasites so they don't reinfect.

Or they fall off.

And also it helps the immune system.

Of the fish so the fish becomes much stronger.

So these are some advices I can.

Give you for this case.

If you want to learn more about.

ICH, I have also a YouTube tutorial number six available at my YouTube channel.

Here is the link of that video which explains you more about the white spots Ichthyophetherius and what you can do about it.

I hope you are interested to learn.
