Information on diseases treated:

White spot disease is caused by Ichthyophthirius multifillis. This disease is more likely to affect weakened fish, e.g. due to overpopulation, after transport, after adding fish, etc. Affected fish have white spots of 0.1 to 1 mm spread or grouped on the skin. The fish rub against plants or stones and sometimes move around in the water with their fins closed. After losing a large amount of skin or after direct damage to the gills, the fish suffocates and dies.

As for fungi, a kind of fluffy balls appear on the skin or gills of fish. They are almost always caused by representatives of the Saprolegnia species. The fungus spreads on the skin but can also penetrate muscle tissue and organs, which ultimately leads to death. The itchy skin can be caused by various parasites: for example, trichodina, ichthyobodo and chilodonella, as well as the skin worm (gyrodactylus) and the gill worm (dactylogyrus) with a size of about 0.3-0.5 mm. While the fish's mucus is the most considerable obstacle for pathogens, the attack of a single parasite opens the doors to others.
