Does the fish have visible parasites (worms, gill flukes, leeches, etc.) or white spots on the body of the fish? Yes: fish has parasites.
A freshwater dip (for marine fish) or a saltwater dip (for freshwater fish) will often help, as the parasites are less resistant to such changes than the fish. A formalin bath or copper may also be useful. Avoid overdosing on copper or using copper too often, as the treatment can easily kill the fish. |
