Gerald Bassleer examines an Emperor Tetra infected with Cryptobia parasites and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The fish shows a red belly, emaciation, and gill damage. Treatment combines malachite green and metronidazole, though severe cases may require euthanasia.

Hello dear AIST here. I'm back again and you are also back to see my next video on an Emperor Tetra Nematobricon palmeri with an infection which is very serious and and damaging a lot of the fish. And I will show you the videos of the fish well how badly they can look like. So stay of tuned and watch the videos I show in my PowerPoint because that can help you to understand what problems can be noticeable on the fish. What you can see with your eyes. And here we noticed with the microscope of course we detected a parasitic cryptobia. Parasites, Flagellates. Flagellates, very tiny parasites and tubercles in the organs. Most likely Mycobacterium. Here in this case 193. Learn about diseases from my books. The link is below where you can get them. And here we see the Emperor Tetra. Some fish had red bellies. Some are exhausted, some are emaciated. Very tiny skinny fish. And some are dying. Look at the one at the back here which we try to get into the camera here. And that the camera will stop on that picture. You will see how badly this is. So skinny. Looks far out. And here see the red marking. Well, we took skin scrapings and already this. The scales showed us damaged parts. You can see here the deformation and the deformation. And I was learned that this is most likely a cause of an internal Mycobacterium fish tuberculosis infection. Yes, we will see because this is a symptom or a signal that something is going on internally the fish. When the scales are not badly formed. It means the fish has poor nutrition supply or not enough minerals or what else to supply to keep the scales in good conditions. Or the fish is falling apart. You can see. And in the skin scraping you can see the very tiny small parasites here moving around. They're very tiny. This is a 200 magnification. And you can see the tiny bits of parasites where I show you in the next video. But they are causing damage. This is at the 400 magnification. You can see here the tiny parasites. Look here, look here very closely. How many are moving around here? Difficult to see, but that you have to learn when you use a microscope. Here I play it again for you. So you watch it. That too standing parasites of causing damage to the skin's damage to the scales and causing a risk of bacterial infections which are around here. Many bacteria all around and also affecting this fish. And at the same time when infections occur the fish becomes weak. We also get deterioration of the gills. So badly affected gills make the fishes suffer more. And internally we found all around spread around in the body all tubercles and all different parts of the organs of this fish fully loaded with tubercles and the kidneys. We couldn't recognize the kidneys anymore because it was full with many massive tubercles. So the kidneys were really shocked. They were all gone. So nematublican palm treatment. Well, some of the fish you better euthanize, they got too much damaged and too late to cure and treat the parasitic infection with medications like for malachite green combined with metronidazole or demetronidazole and combined with an antibacterial treatment. So a mixed. Yes, ask your fish doctor, ask your pet shop. You can also try to use Farnamore of treating this kind of infection which is an Acoreminstra product. Ask your pet shop, they have good products available and they have experience. The origin of the problem again is the breeder here. So breathing, vision, poor condition, a good care with no stress, good water and good functional food can give a good survival chances to the lesser effect the infected fish. Like explained before in my other videos and you know it. When you have good care of your fish in general, most of the fish are staying well. It's always the few ones who are badly damaged to show it. So keep on giving good care about your fish, you you will have more success and less problems. Some have tried antibiotics to treat the mycobacterium but there is no success guaranteed. See my books. I explain about that and helping the fish well with a functional food like Dr. Basler Bisjerfood Fico is a help for the fish to combat the bacterial effects and to have a quicker repair. Get my books. As a consultant, I worked more than 45 years in the industry and published my findings in books like I do now in my YouTube or I do this in my Patreon where you can get the training on fish doctoring. So I hope this video helped you to understand this kind of infections with parasites and bacteria in an emperor named Butterbrica Palmeira. So stay tuned to watch more of my videos coming on many different diseases or check in my playlist so many fish I can show for you to be more successful in the care of your fish.
