eSHa gdex treats skin and gill flukes (Monogenea, like Gyrodactylus sp. and Dactylogyrus sp.) and tapeworms (Cestoda).
There are a few noticeable symptoms of skin and gill flukes and tapeworms:
- Excessive mucus secretion: clamped fins which can become ragged and sore;
- Rubbing its whole body against plants, decoration, rock and gravel: rubbing the head or near the gill plates;
- In advanced stages, white or yellow spots or lesions are visible on the skin (due to secondary infection);
- Small red or bloody skin patches along the body: discolorations;
- Irregular breathing / breathing through only one of the gills / spreading the gills wide open / slow swimming or hovering / pale and swollen gills that can extend beyond the gill plates: the fish remains listless and lethargic and will be swimming at the surface in advanced stages;
- The fish quickly loses weight, despite the normal quantity of food: even when the amount of food is increased, the fish does not gain weight and looks emaciated.
Not all fish have the symptoms. Often the symptoms are limited to one single fish species or to related fish species. Skin and gill flukes are practically invisible to the eye, but can be made visible under a microscope with a relatively low magnification (10-200x). Skin and gill flukes are generally fish species-specific, but they can be transferred to other fishes, through fishnets and plants or through water.
