Fish Lice

Anchor Worms & Fish Care

Have you seen tiny green or red worms attached to your fish? Or have you spotted ulcers on your fish? If so, this may be a case of anchor worms. Your fish may also look like they are having difficulties breathing as well as performing constant rubbing or flashing.

Bacteria

Bacteria & Fish Care

When your fish are having a bacterial infection, they will display a lack of appetite and appear lethargic. Their color may become pale, and it’s highly possible that you will see skin ulcers or skin hemorrhages on your fish. Although most bacterial infections can be treated effectively, you must not neglect the symptoms.

Fish Lice & Other Parasites

If your fish seem to display heightened stress levels and constantly rub themselves against objects, this can mean that you have a case of fish lice in your pond. Fish lice will also cause fish to develop open wounds as well as tiny black or red spots on the skin.
