Ichthyobodo, also known as costia, are

flagellate protozoan parasites. They spread easily from one fish to another and can result in diseases as well as a host of

secondary infections and illnesses. Even a clean, well-maintained pond can become plagued by costia via being introduced by newly acquired pond fish.
