Fluke: a common parasite in freshwater and marine aquariums. Many hundred species are known , the most common groups being Dactylogyrids (parasitising gills) and Gyrodactylids (parasitising gills, skin and fins). Dactylogyrids more commonly known as Gill Flukes, commonly infest all species of ornamental freshwater fish - particularily livebearers, Goldfish, Discus and Angelfish. Fish will show signs of respiratory distress, rapid gill movement, hanging at the surface, small red spots and scraping on objects to relieve irrations. Emaciation, inactivity and colour changes occur in chronic sufferers.
Tapeworm: When present, they are found in the intestines, attached to the intestinal wall. Signs of infestation include enlarged abdomen and ill thrift.
