Tricker’s hatcheries have been breeding and raising fishes since the early 1900s. Fish are susceptible to various diseases, which are influenced by factors such as water temperature, pH levels, osmotic pressures, dissolved gases, and other elements. These factors play a crucial role in determining the likelihood of a disease agent causing illness in fish.
The prevalence of ichthyophthiriasis, a common disease among fish, is primarily caused by a microscopic protozoan that results in the formation of white spots on the fish’s skin and gills. This condition not only damages the fish’s protective skin but also increases the risk of bacterial or fungal infections. To effectively control ich, prevention is key. It is crucial to be cautious when introducing new plants or fish to your pond, as they may unknowingly carry ich. A highly recommended preventive measure is to treat your pond prior to adding any fish or plants, ensuring a healthy and disease-free environment for your aquatic life.
