Symptoms of Parasites:
Fish owners should suspect parasites if fish are thin, weak or listless. They may appear to swim aimlessly, dart wildly around the tank or twitch as if they are having spasms. Mucus at the gills is another positive indicator for a parasite infection. External parasites may cause fish to hold their fins close to their bodies or in a closed position. Fish may rub against objects in the tank and red spots may appear on the fins. Bumps or worm-like objects may be visibly present on the fish in more advanced infestations.
