Symptoms;

Rapid gill movement + swollen or discoloured gills. The fish are likely to stop feeding and may gasp either at the surface or laying motionless on the bottom.

Causes;

Gill desease is caused by infections of fungi, bacteria and parasites. Also, poor water quality is likely to be a contributing factor.

Cures;

Having good water quality is a good first step in treatment. This includes avoiding overfeeding and overstoking and carrying out frequent water changes. It may be necessary to add anti-bacterial treatments to the water. It also may be necessary to treat with formalin or copper based medicines if gill parasites are suspected.

Symptoms;

Cotton looking growths on the body of the fish, its usualy greyish-white. Some deseases can be mistaken for fungus such as mouth fungus, which is usualy caused by bacteria.

Causes;

"Fungal spores" are always present in the aqarium. An outbreak usualy occures after damage to a fishes skin or gill area, and as a secondary infection.

Cures;

Their are commercial anti-fungal remedies that can be used to kill/destroy fungus and prevent it spreading. Most of the medications availible for treating fungal infections will also treat bacterial infections in case of mis-diagnosis.
