Can anyone tell me what these insects are on this fish? Please give any info that you can. Not sure if they are parasitic or not. They are on all the fish in this pond.

      Fishes skin and they can withstand a lot of medications. Fantail goldfish come in with them commonly and I've had to get rid of them but it's tough...

      It's called fish lice it's an external parasite that's hard to kill bc it gets under the slime coat and its shell protects it. They have suction cup ...more feet and are hard to scrape of without hurting the

      Looks like fish louse to me. I'm not positive though.

      I can't give you an ID, but I'm very confident they're parasitic.
