Abstract
Ichthyophthyriosis Ichthyophthirius multifiliis is an invasive disease that causes high economic damage to fish farmers. Both commercial and aquarium fish are susceptible to ichthyophthyosis. The article presents the results of treatment, methods of determination, as well as counting rules for determining the intensity of invasion (AI). It was found that the use of malachite green at a concentration of 0.3 g /l was more effective than methylene blue. With early detection of the disease and timely treatment, the survival rate reaches up to 100%.
