Whilst we can, and do, recommend the Waterlife
Treatments - there are as you would expect many other medications
that will also treat the diseases mentioned in this section. However
regardless of the treatments the actual preventions are paramount
to good pond husbandry...
Choose from list below and Click on the
Numerical Number and we will provide you with further symptoms and
maybe a treatment that may help solve that particular problem. |

1.
CLICK
|
Large, (1-5mm) off white
granular growths - often spherical and attached to any part
of body or fins. Very rare in f/w fishes. Fish shows little
signs of distress and often continues feeding normally.
Surface appearance of cyst resembles small ball of
cauliflower or raspberry. No increase in breathing rate,
gill beat (GB) is detectable. |
|
|
2.
CLICK
|
Body-Rot, Fin-Rot, Tail-Rot,
patches of angry red tissue on body, haemorrhagic
discolouration of vent (anal) area of abdomen; any or all of
the above symptoms if not promptly treated may quickly
deteriorate into the following terminal symptoms:- bloated
appearance of abdomen (but scales Not standing off body),
Exophthalmia ("Popeye"), abnormally high
respiratory rate (i.e. faster than 90 gill beats/min.) |
|
|
3.
CLICK
|
Whitish skin lesions (body
rot), haemorrhages, wasting of body tissue, ulceration.
Greyish-white film develops over eye and can lead to
"Pop-eye" and, death, very fast breathing (90+
GB/min.). |
|
|
4.
CLICK
|
Greyish-white film over the
whole body surface of fish. Eventually if untreated (and if
fish survives long enough untreated!) finnage deteriorates
and shallow ulcers appear on body. Fish generally appears
pallid, sickly and weak with no interest in food whatsoever. |
|
|
5.
CLICK
|
Greyish-white cotton woolly growths around mouth area. |
|
|
6.
CLICK
|
Greyish-white,
cotton-wool-like threads growing from the fish's body and
particles of uneaten food, etc., on gravel. |
|
|
7.
CLICK
|
Rapid loss of body weight -
often despite good appetite, leading to vertigo (loss of
balance) and abnormal swimming pattern, (CAUTION these
symptoms can be confused with same symptoms produced by
physical or pressure damage to swim-bladder if present).
Early symptoms later deteriorate to ulceration and fin
damage probably as a result of secondary bacterial
infections on damage sites. Finally if untreated, the
spleen, liver kidneys and brain become infected,
"Pop-eye" develops and in the last few hours,
breathing rate increases to 100+ GB/min. In early stages of
infection wrasse species may lose ability to close mouth. |
|

8.
CLICK
|
Within 6-8 hours of the fish
becoming infected the respiratory rate rises very steeply
from the normal 60-90 GB/min. to as high as 200-300 GB/min.
If not treated quickly at this stage, tiny greyish-fawn
cysts (difficult to spot with naked eye unless fish can be
manoeuvred into a head on position with light behind it)
appear in enormous numbers on body and finnage. Can never be
confused with "white-spot" disease since - a) the
spots are much smaller, and b) "white-spot"
disease doesn't cause an increase in respiratory rate until
several untreated days have passed and the fish is dying.
Some species occasionally seen to flick and twitch pelvic /
dorsal fins and even close down the worst-infected gill
chamber if disease progresses untreated. |
|

9.
CLICK
|
Small, pure white,
clearly-defined spots (about 1/4 - 1/2 diam. of pinhead)
appear on body AND finnage. (CAUTION: do not confuse with
same-sized GREYISH-WHITE, blurred-edge spots appearing on
finnage only - see No. 10 below). If untreated, spots slowly
(6-24 hrs..) advance to cover whole body/finnage area.
Fishes do not show same early sickliness as with disease 7
above and may even continue feeding lightly. |
|
|
10.
CLICK
|
In early stages (first 24 /
48 hours) fishes shows signs of extreme skin/gill
irritability, continually scratching and scraping on rocks
etc., and "flicking" the pelvic and dorsal fins
against the side of the body. However, unlike diseases 8 and
9 above (which can share the same symptoms of skin
irritation sometimes), this condition never causes an
increase in breathing rate until the fish, after several
days / weeks without treatment, is approaching death, and
rarely are the near microscopic parasites noticeable as
spots on the body, although they can sometimes be seen as
blurred spots on fins. |

CLICK
|
Greyish white
film over entire body surface, easily confused if microscope
not available) with disease 4. but does not respond to
MYXAZIN treatment. |
|
|
12.
CLICK
|
Sharply pointed
5-10mm spines sticking out of dorsal tissues. |
|
|
13.
CLICK
|
Lice-like
creatures up to 10mm long crawling about fish's body. |
|
|
14.
CLICK
|
Fish's body
bloats out (as though full of roe) and, viewed from above,
scales stand away from body producing a pinecone-like
appearance - most common in Carp family and Anabantids. |
