Skin- and gill worms
Skin- and gill worms (flukes) are flattish trematodes, 0,3-0,5 mm in size which were previously relatively uncommon in pond fish. However, nowadays they are regularly encountered. Gyrodactylus is the skin worm. This worm gives birth to living young and is therefore capable of rapid and massive reproduction. The resultant skin irritation gives rise to thickening of the skin and to the production of a slimy mucous layer over the skin. The gill worm is called Dactylogyrus. This parasite lays eggs. It causes damage and irritation to the gills with resultant thickening and loss of full function. Infested fish rub their gills on plants and stones. In advanced cases they swim with the gills permanently opened and they can even die.

Visible parasites
Lernex also works against macroparasites such as Fish Lice (Argulus) which can grow to a length of ½ cm. Gill Lice (Ergasilus) are smaller than fish lice. Anchor worms (Lernaea) can grow to a length of several cm. They are not actually worms but belong to the crustaceans group and are therefore related to the parasitic lice. Internal worms- Roundworms (Nematodes) are large, round worms occurring in the digestive tract. Leeches (Piscicola geometra) are worm-like creatures with two suckers, a smaller one which also functions as a mouth and a larger one at the tail end.
