Can Goldfish Die From Anchor Worms?

Quick answer, YES! Goldfish can die from anchor worms if left untreated. If you notice that your goldfish has anchor worms attached to their body, you need to begin treatment. There are many fish medications on the market today used to treat against anchor worms on goldfish. I like using this Anchor Worm Treatment called Anchors Away.

I’ve been using this for years at my business, Country Koi Fish Farm, and this fish medication for anchor worms works great!

What will happen if you don’t treat your goldfish right away for anchor worms, is your goldfish will develop bacterial infections. This is what will kill your goldfish.

Do yourself a favour and always observe your goldfish at feeding time for any signs of goldfish illnesses, diseases or parasites. If you notice an issue seek advice from your local pet store or any online resources about goldfish care. The quicker you begin treatments the better chances you have of success!

Anchor worms is easily treatable for goldfish, act quick and you’ll see for yourself how quickly you get rid of anchor worms.

We all know that pond predators like the heron and raccoons can be a nuisance when we have a garden pond in our backyard. I know for myself we live in the country and we have all sorts of wild life visiting our ponds on a daily basis. It’s frustrating and aggravating but you can do something about it to protect your pond fish with the garden repeller.

The garden repeller helped stop pond predators from eating their fish. I tried it too and it worked very well!

My wife and I are a Regal Gifts Independent Representative and this summer they had an excellent product called the Garden Repeller that came out and it works great. Every morning I had a heron stop by about 6am every day. Pond nets only work so well so I decided to buy the garden repeller for myself to protect my goldfish and koi from predators. I hooked it up, the heron stopped by the next morning and the heron didn’t know what hit him. It shoots water up to 32 feet away. As soon as the bird or animal goes in front of the motion detector its sprays water at them. It’s basically a motion activated water sprinkler system. If your having a problem with herons, raccoons and other birds eating your goldfish then you should give it a try. It definitely works and it doesn’t hurt the animal in any way. You can keep them away with this garden repeller from Regal.

If you are having problems with birds visiting your pond you can go to our Moncton Gift Shop blog and learn about the garden repeller. You can also visit our Regal Website directly by going to http://gifts.shopregal.ca create an account and you can buy the garden repeller. For your reference it’s Item # HC3200.
