[The-Wolf]

I am trying to put together a list of common diseases and the medication needed that affects our fish.

so far I have.....
Cotton mouth.
Neon Tetra disease.
Velvet (Oodinium).
HITH (Hexamita).
Black spot (Black Ich).
Swim bladder disease.
Fungus (Columnaris).
Pop-eye (exophthalmos).
Dropsy.
Fin rot (Saprolegnia).
Gill Flukes (Ectoparasites).
White spot (Ichthyophthirius multifiliis).

Is there anything "common" that I have missed?
The list will be posted soon and it may help lots of you.
Please contribute any "common" disese that you can think of.

What about other parasites?

Like Fish lice (Argulus) sp?

Great plan! No more to add, just wanted to say that the list would be appreciated

Columnaris (bacterial infection). TB is also becoming more and more common

Is Argulus a common one? I have come accross it in my research but is it common?
I could spend years looking up every disease that we may encounter.

what about the shimmy? Or is that not a disease, just a sign of a stressed fish?

the "shimmy" is a sign of several possible diseases

 

[Phantom Thief]

Sorry to hijack, but what is a 'shimmy' ?

P.T.

 

[David]

cloudy eye (eye fluke) or spine deformity (not sure about that one)

 

[Erised]

Ok, not a disease but Definatly common ... and it does have symptoms that often make people believe there is a parasite in their tank or that their fish are ill: Overfeeding

I know it doesnt really belong in the list, but specially for those new to keeping fish it might be a very handy addition

 

[The-Wolf]

Ok never mind
I have just seen a list of common ones in
the beginners section )

 

[endparenthesis]

Dropsy would be a sign of several possible disease too... it's technically a symptom.
