Skin flukes (Gyrodactylus) are common primary ectoparasites of fish, particularly in the koi hobby. Gyrodactylus graze on the fish’s skin and gills causing severe damage that can lead to heavy mortalities. A variety of medicines traditionally used for treating flukes including trichlorfon, praziquantel, flubendazole, formalin, and potassium permanganate proved ineffective in this pond, indicating the population of flukes were possibly multi-drug resistant. As a last resort, a novel way of using household vinegar as prolonged immersion method was devised and proved successful. The paper demonstrates the safe use of this technique and warns about the risks.
