(Cichlidae); Xiphophorus maculatus (platy); Carassius auratus (goldfish) and Symphisodon discus (discus) were examined for parasites during a four years study (19982002) in Turkey. The parasites species found included: Ichthyobodo sp., Ichthyophthirius multifiliis, Chilodonella sp., Trichodina sp., Dactylogyrus extensus, Gyrodactylus bullatarudis, Lernaea cyprinacea, Argulus foliaceus, Argulus japonicus and Capillaria sp. Among the fish that were studied, goldfish had highest infections.
