Whilst these are basic and helpful tips, each fish species has different requirements. If you want to learn more about how to look after specific species, you can find more info on our fact sheets
A happy and healthy fish should be active, eager to eat, have healthy fins, vibrant in colour without protruding gills, or abnormal bumps along the scales. So what happens if your fish is not active? Or your fish doesn’t eat regularly? If the fish have dull or blemished scales? These could be signs and symptoms that your fish has an aquarium disease or parasite.
Symptoms for each aquarium fish disease, parasite or fungus can vary widely, but there are a few aquarium symptoms that act as a good sign that something’s wrong with your aquarium fish:
There are a number of different aquarium fish diseases, fungal and parasites that fish can catch. A list of the more common aquariums fish sicknesses can be seen below:
Anchor Worm is a whitish-green aquarium parasite that can be seen attached to the body of the fish. They burrow into the fishes scales, entering the muscles and leaving eggs behind causing damage, which can later become infected.
Symptoms include the fish scratching against aquarium tank objects; parts of the fish’s body appear red or inflamed. The Anchor Worm itself should also be visible hanging or protruding from the fish.
Our experienced Aquarium staff at Kellyville Pets recommend the use of CrystalClear - KnockOut™ PLUS for treating Anchor Worm.
Ick, or more commonly known as white spot, is one of the most common aquarium fish diseases. White spot appears on the fish as small spots similar to white sand or salt on the scales and skin and is often a side affect of stressed fish. It can affect saltwater and freshwater aquarium fish.
Symptoms of Ick or White Spot include fish scratching against aquarium tank objects due to skin irritation, fish gasping at the waters surface, the fish fold fins close to body, or the most obvious is the visual sighting of small white spots similar to white sand or salt on skin.
The experienced Aquarium staff at Kellyville Pets recommend the use of Aquasonic Ichonex for fresh water aquarium fish infected with White Spot, and Aquasonic Vertonex in saltwater aquarium fish.
Tail, Fin and Mouth Rot is caused by a bacterial infection in bullied or injured fish. The bacteria eat away at the fins through open wounds from fighting or injured fish. The effects of bacteria are elevated in Aquariums with poor tank conditions such as wrong aquarium pH, wrong aquarium temperature or fish tank cleanliness.
Symptoms of Tail, Fin and Mouth Rot in Aquarium fish tanks are simple and can be seen in the appearance of aquarium fish. The fish’s tail and fins start to become frayed and the colour is likely to start fading, as well as deteriorating fins.
Our experienced Aquarium staff at Kellyville Pets have a range of aquarium additives and fish medications for treatment. The product they recommended is API Melafix as treatment for Aquarium fish.
Treating sick fish is like treating a sick person, first you have find out what the problem is. Look for common behaviour or symptoms in your fish like scratching against tank ornaments, the fish looks swollen or bloated, the fish’s fins are folded or the fish is moving slowly or not moving at all. If you are struggling to isolate any symptoms, feel free to call us and speak to one of our many experienced Aquarium staff about your fishy friend, to find out what the problem is. After the disease, fungal, or possible parasite has been identified; our friendly staff can recommend and advise a good fish medication from our large range of saltwater and freshwater aquarium fish antibiotics or additives.
