If you want a complete guide to learn fish vetting skills, we have a detailed course called the Fish Vet Masterclass.

It is an online course designed for you to solve fish health problems by learning how to diagnose and treat fish diseases to a veterinary standard.

This course is an invaluable tool created for anybody working with fish such as aspiring veterinary students, professional veterinarians and fish pathologists, aquarium shop operators, fish wholesalers, aquarists, aquaculturists, fish biologists and researchers, and serious fish hobbyists. Using the knowledge gained in this course will help you maximise the health of your fish, avoid costly fish losses, saving you time and money, and most importantly, saving fish lives.

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.
