Discovery & Treatment of Parasites & Fish Related Diseases

A customer had brought in a pond fish that was decidedly the worse for wear. In no time at all we had samples under the microscope, sorted out the problem and had completed the medication and instructions for getting the fish healthy again. I was able to take some images of what lay under his microscope.

1. Trichodina

2. Skin Fluke and White Spot

3. White Spot
