After disinfection the surface of the eyeball by means of alcohol and red-hot blade eye fluids were collected in clean Petri dishes separately and were checked microscopically by wet mount. Immature forms of parasite, tomites were detected in eye liquids. In the next step gold fish aquariums were infected with eye fluid from angel fish in room temperature(22±2 Cº) .12-48 h post challenge mortality was initiated in exposed gold fish, cloudy eyes was the main sign in the dead fish.
