Isolation of Tetrahymena pyriformis From Several Infected Pet Fish Species And a Regime For Its Treatment

Tetrahymena pyriformis has been firstly isolated from brood Goldfish (Carassius auratus) Common, Fantail, Ryukin, Veiltail and Moor, Black molly (Poecilia sphenops), Gourami (Trichogaster trichopterus), red Swordtail (Xiphophorus helleri), Guppy (Poecilia reticulata), deep Angelfish (Pterophyllum s...

The infected fish suffered from mucus hypersecretion large hyperemic areas on the skin, and slight shedding of the scales. The incidence percentage of infection was 100 %. Rising water temperature was up to 29 – 30cْ for one time and methylene blue was at a concentration of 5 ppm for 24 hours. Sodium chloride at a concentration of 2 % for one minute and two minutes has no obvious effect on Tetrahymena pyriformis.
