Name That Fish Disease!

Before you go ahead and click the images below, be warned, its pretty nasty! However, this disease is fairly common and can effect multiple species of fish. This particular case is the worst I have seen to date.

    Yikes!!!
    Talk about a fish with Frakles…
    Don’t know if I have the stomach to handle a fish in that condition even though the disease does not tranfer to humans.

    The Disease is called:
    Uvulifer ambloplitis (“black spot” in fish)
    Other Common Name: Black grub.

    Very well explained in this link.

    Cheers,
