Fish Parasite Treatments
Parasites will present themselves occasionally on aquatic life. They commonly arrive as hitchhikers on newly introduced fish and plants. Poor water quality, stress and inadequate nutrition can weaken the fish’s immune and defense responses causing parasitic outbreaks. Using aquarium salt is a great preventive and commonly used in conjunction with parasitic treatment.
FAQs About Fish Parasite Treatments
Parasites that affect fish will vary according to the type of fish, however some common parasites include ich, anchor worms, and aquatic lice.
Many parasites are visible to the human eye but fish will show signs of illness such as rapid breathing, scratching on surfaces around the aquarium and erratic swimming behaviors.

My female betta fish contracted Ich last week, and I noticed it from a single white spot on her head. For the last 7 days I've been using Imagitarium's Parasite Remedy treatment in her tank, and when I bought it I was told it should only take a week, yet the little guy is still on her head. What else can I do?
The fish has attacks of fast uncontrolled movement since we have it. Sometimes it hits itself on walls and objects. Lately it lays down on the floor on the side and rubs itself on objects. It got scratches all over and hurt his eye. It eats normally. No visible parasites, but seems something itches it on the skin. We bought Imagitarum Parasites Remedy, but hesitate to use it as some reviews say fish died of it. We also have shrimps and snails. Should we use the remedy?
