Ornamental fishes are considered as one of the most important means of home entertainment, because of its diversity and beauty of picturesque colors. This research work has been conducted to show that the ornamental fish mainly Red Can Oranda Gold fish (Carassius auratusauratus) are mainly affected with parasites like Argulus sp. and also reveal the prevalent and unforeseen parasitic infection in commercially available ornamental fishes which may credit to their marketable value.
