Does your fish scratches against objects?
Is there a layer of mucus covering your fish's gills or body?
Do the gills move rapidly?
Does your fish have chewed or eaten gills or fins?
Has the skin of your fish reddened?
Your fish doesn't show any symptoms of body flukes disease.
Your fish shows only one symptom of body flukes disease. Since some of the symptoms may point out to other fish diseases and health conditions, it cannot be said with certainty that your fish does have body flukes. If there is a layer of mucus covering your fish's gills or body then your fish's probably suffering from body flukes. Your veterinarian should give you treatment for your fish. Besides treatment, you will also need to optimize environmental conditions as body flukes are caused by poor water quality, overcrowding, and stress by incompatible species.

Sreten null
Hi! I’m Sreten Filipović. I graduated from the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Belgrade, with a master's degree in Environmental Protection in Agricultural Systems. I’ve worked as a researcher at Finland's Natural Resources Institute (LUKE) on a project aimed at adapting south-western Finland to drought episodes. I founded a consulting agency in the field of environment and agriculture to help farmers who want to implement the principles of sustainability on their farms. I’m also a founding member of the nonprofit organization Ecogenesis from Belgrade whose main goal is non-formal education on the environment and ecology. In my spare time, I like to write blog posts about sustainability, the environment, animal farming, horticulture, and plant protection. I’ve also published several science-fiction short stories.
