Abstract.Five commonly imported freshwater ornamental fish: Poecilia reticulata (guppy); Xiphophorus.Maculatus (platy); Paracheirodon innesi (Neon Tetra); Paracheirodon axelrodi (cardinal TETRA); and.Gyrinocheilus aymonieri (sucking catfish), 361 individuals, in total were examined for parasites.Immediately after being released from quarantine in Australia. Ten parasites species were found:Camallanus Cotti; Centrocestus formosanus; Bothriocephalus acheilognathi; Urocleidoidesreticulatus; Tetrahymena.Corlissi; Chilodonella piscicola; Hexamita sp.; Cryptobia sp.; Chloromyxum sp.; and an unidentified.Larval nematode. Though shipments had come from up to five different, exporting companiesParasite prevalence was uniformly high. We suggest that prior to release fish transported,,Internationally should be checked for high risk pathogens such as, Camallanus Cotti B.Acheilognathi and Centrocestus formosanus and treated, for common infections such as Hexamita.SP, Cryptobia sp. T. Corlissi and Chilodonella piscicola to inhibit the spread of disease and enhance.The survival of the fish.
