Gerald Bassleer examines goldfish with tubercles in their kidneys, spleen, and liver, likely caused by Mycobacterium. The infection is hard to treat once encapsulated, so prevention through clean water, safe feed, and immune-boosting diet matters most.

Dear fish keeper, fish Disease case number 75. Well, already 75 cases. You can look back what I already presented and learn more. But this is 75, which teaches you a lesson about goldfish. Yes, goldfish is a big part of our aquarium industry and our hobby. And so people love the fan tails, love the around the line heads. And as a fish doctor, I love to try to solve the problems which these fisher can suffer with. And this was a case number 75. And I will show you my screen so that these fish here, which was the. Let me see here. Yes, the line had the red caps. And I found many tubercles in the internal organs and in the fish palm tank. Well, some became skinny, some look okay, very healthy. But once in a while some was dying, you see, some are skinny at the bottom, not moving so well, I'll show you again the video. And some look healthy and eating well, but some are wasting away. And well, only on examination of the organs told us the skin there was nothing we could find particularly what was bad. And also the guil were looking properly good. But here we had the part of the kidney. Well, we have found tubercles. Here we have the spleen, we found again also tubercles, taking away healthy tissue. We found in the liver, tubercles, we found in the ovaries, tubercles and non developed eggs. So the whole fish was invaded to say with tubercles. And well, many fish look okay and they might live a long time. The bad fish, well, they are suffering. Well, put them asleep and use them as a tool for examination for your training. So they can live a long time. The good and the better looking ones, as long as you keep good conditions, keeping good water quality, avoiding stress. But like I say always in my videos, also giving a good footage supply a food particularly that is not contaminated, avoiding feeding contaminate food. Because some life and frozen food contain Mycobacterium sites. Like some micro mosquito larvae, red mosquito larvae are some you have to check. You can check with your supplier, you can check, you can do a laboratory test to find out if your feet is appropriate. And avoiding the Mycobacterium infection. So the origin of this problem, most likely it's tubercles. Well, it is tubercles, we noticed that. And is it mycobacterium? Well, could be a laboratory can confirm a lab culture. It takes a few days. No medication has shown real good success to treat these tubercles because it's encapsulated. And when it's encapsulated there is no drug we can penetrate through the capsule. So the medication will have no effect. Maybe the spreading but the spreading is already that it's inside the organs and it's hard to control this kind of infection. So good care, good feeding Building up the immune system of the fish is important. You can help doing that with a food we specially developed for that care for the fish for our recovery and becoming resistant. Not resistant, but becoming more immune with an immune system that is more active so the fish will survive better. We have therefore the professional treat and also the Dr. Besley by fish food Foucault So some things that help you with a feeding program to keep your fish in the best condition. So this is some of my work I present this was case 75. So stay tuned on my Patreon channel where I present many more different cases and you can follow. You can get the training on fish diseases becoming a fish doctor. Up to you to decide if you want to become a more professional fish care keeper. Thank you for watching.
