A Gerald Bassleer YouTube case presenting Trichopsis (dwarf gourami) affected by an internal parasitic worm infection causing wasting, heavy respiration, and mortalities. The speaker documents clinical signs and identifies encysted particles consistent with metacercariae damaging organs, notes wild-caught origin as a risk factor, and recommends early intervention including functional foods (his branded products), treatment of possible secondary bacterial infections, and further reading via his books and Patreon.

Hello dear agonist, welcome again to one of my cases on fish diseases. And today we will talk about Trichopsis dwarf gourami with an internal worm infection, a parasitic worm infection causing mortalities. And while more learning and teaching for you available on my books in different languages. So I hope you see the link below and purchase some quality materials that helps you to prevent or control fish diseases. Well, in this case it's about the Trichopsis pumulus. You can see the fish become skinny. Some look perfect in the aquarium, but some are wasting away and some are dying. Look, look, the skinny fish here. There's a few here in the aquarium here we see it on another video. In the close up you see this fish is getting weaker. You can see the respiration is getting heavier. Look the fish in the back here, which is going to die in the next coming days or hours. And that is something. Well, the fish you have to pull out to do an investigation to control the rest of the fish which still might look perfectly unhealthy today. So you have to take your actions. And that's what we found here today, is that we found some kind of meta circaria. You can see all here, those enclosed particles, those. Well, those capsules. And inside there were probably dead Metasarcaria, that's what it looks like. But it caused damage to the organs, cause risk of weakening the fish. And that is something we have to look at when we have to start treating. Well, the origin, we know it's the origin is wild fish that can have such kind of infections. With worm larvae you can give the best of conditions, the good food, good water quality. And we try to recommend you a functional food. There are several functional foods on the market that helps in strengthening and repairing the fish. Of course we recommend our Dr. Basler buy fish food forte or the aloe vera which are suitable in this case. And the sooner you act, the better your results will be. And sometimes you have to be aware that because of weakening the fish, secondary bacterial infections can occur and should be treated. So information you can get in my books on fish diseases. The link is below to find them out and you can get more training at my Patreon or learn more from my website and my books. So I thank you for this, for watching and I hope this teach you again another little lesson on fish diseases. Thank you.
