Gerald Bassleer presents case #273: a diseased Corydoras julii suffering primarily from a bacterial infection with concurrent skin flukes. He describes external lesions (fin/tail rot), damaged gills and compromised internal organs (liver, kidney, spleen) from microscopy, notes the presence of adult and juvenile skin flukes, and recommends treating the bacterial infection first, then applying anti-fluke medication and supportive functional foods.

Hello, dear Aquarist.
Today you selected a video about a.
Diseased corydora catfish, the Corydora julii, with a bacterial infection and some skin flukes.
I show you my findings in this.
PowerPoint I presented for you, where I show you my microscopic observations. It teaches you some lessons and I.
Hope it helps you to understand fish diseases.
This is my case 273.
Read my books.
Those are available in different languages.
About the prevention, about the application of good medications and the correct dosages you.
Should apply so you can understand how to control fish diseases.
Here we see the Corydoras julii in bad shape.
You see already one dead one here in the back.
But you can see here this one.
Is wasting away and some look pretty healthy. But of course you have to take action now.
When the first signs appear on a few deceased fish.
We noticed fin and tail rod. You could see here the massive bacteria covering the tail and this part that is already falling apart due to the bacterial infection.
We found some flukes on the skin of the fish.
You could see inside already.
Also the baby fluke or the baby.
Skin fluke waiting to be born and to create a more massive infection in.
The days to come.
The gills had some damage due to a bacterial infection.
You can see here that part of.
The gill tissue that is completely, I.
Would say, rotten away or damaged and of causing serious health problems for the fish.
The internal organs, like the liver here.
Was in bad condition.
You could see also the kidney here on the right. You can see the dark markings inside.
Which is not proper functioning anymore of the kidney tissue.
Here more details of the spleen that.
Was, how can I say, in bad.
Form and of course will not work properly anymore.
Usually this is due to a bacterial infection.
The treatment of the choridora.
Well, of course treating the bacterial infection.
Is the first choice.
Later on you can apply an anti.
Fluke medication depending on the fish.
But I would recommend here to do it.
But first treat the bacterial infection.
Ask your pet shop or the fish.
Doctor or your vet for a good.
Medication or you can find them in my books.
You can also help with a functional.
Fish food that helps the fish to repair.
And in this case with the bacterial.
Infection, we would recommend Dr. Basler biofish food. Grapefruit seed extract, Moringa or fico. My books in different languages can help.
You to apply the correct medication or.
