Anything within these microscope slides of a Banggai Cardinal Fish necropsy seem concerning? I noticed what appears to be red filaments, found within the gills, liver, and intestines. Also the intestinal track appears very opaque to me.
History:
Fish refused to eat for 90+ days, body weight appeared normal. Ultimate cause of death mechanical damage from attempting to place specimen with another Banggai Cardinal Fish to stimulate feeding response. Even though the specimen was removed within 30 mins, it exhibited a moribund state and death transpired within 12hrs. Pre and post proziqnatal treatment, I noticed the specimen forcefully tussis. Unfortunately I was not available to preform an immediate necropsy and the specimen was preserved for 24hrs at 30-25f, thus some pathology data is lost.
Slide A, gill.
Slide B, gill.
Slide C, intestinal.
Slide D, intestinal.
Slide E, swim bladder.
Slide F, liver.
