So sad to see such a beautiful fish sustain such bad injuries. I'm one for extended tank cycling and will always constantly check my water parameters. There's a serious lack of awareness in the fish hobby of just how important checking your water quality is. I can't imagine how painful those wounds were for the fish but I'm so glad you intervened, Dr. Loh! Those food shots at the end are just adorable!!
Yes I had trouble finding knowledgeable vets when I had rabbits had to seek out exotic specialist those where practice was 80 percent or more dealing with pocket pets
And always make sure that when you cycle a tank, that it is a fish less cycle, not with a fish in the tank that will cause it to undergo unneeded suffering. don't use the fish as ammonia source, rather use simply food and use prime on schedule to get a tank cycled.
This makes me so sad it's completely preventable I just believe that if you're going to raise these types of animals that you need to be on top of the water quality
Amazing recovery. I've been trying to diagnose a cichlid that keeps swimming in circles past 2 days. I can send a video if you'd like to see. All the way from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹👍🏼

Glad to have found it. I lost my 9 inch oscar to cloudy eye... didnt know what to do. Couldn't find the medicines due to covid lockdown... feel really sad. Please advice me on what can be bought over the counter in such cases so I dont have to lose my little fish friends.
I feel like that owner waited too long to seek help! The poor fish was in bad shape... how could you wait for the growth to be that visible on the eyes in addition to the redness... I'm so glad he was not beyond saving :-(
I recently did a larger than average water change..and added the usual amount of de-clor for my normal water changes.It was not enough,the next day some fish showed skin burn. Now,when it comes to keeping brackish water fish,Rock salt is what I would buy. Now for medicinal,I use epsom salts..and used on the Rainbow fish affected by the water change. The day after that they looked fine. Is epsom salts prefered? Or do you think any salt minus iodine is as good?
I'm enjoying the video. Your video is very helpful for studying. I want to study more deeply. Please recommend the book you were studying. And please recommend books on cartilaginous fishes too.please :(

Excellent video. Give your customer a punch :-) and tell him to improve the mechanical and bio filter otherwise your excellent work will become useless.

Hi Dr Loh, is it better to use Methylene blue or copper sulphate for treating Velvet disease in Betta fish? Can we also use aquarium salts at the same time?
I woke you see this before my gold fish dies it’s been at the top of the tank for 2 days I have an air tank and filter and changed the water but it also has a cloudy eye and I’ve been treating him help please

amoxycillin is an antibiotic, suitable for treating against bacterial diseases that are sensitive to that antibiotic. We commonly request to run lab tests called "culture and sensitivity" to determine the best antibiotics to use. Some antibiotics like metronidazole an trimethoprim sulphonamide have acitivities against some protozoa, but on the main, antibiotics are best reserved for treating cases of bacterial diseases. Check our video on ways you can treat white spot disease - ua-cam.com/video/xn2EbgxDiZk/v-deo.html
Use API aquarium salt to stop further infection in a hospital tank. Change water everyday for 5 days. Add a air stone for aeration to reduce stress. Feed your fish a small amount of soaked pellet, remove uneaten foods to prevent ammonia spike. This allows the fish to have energy for fast recovery. Add API stress coat to promote healing cause it has aloe Vera extract. Give extra care and love to your fish until fully recover. 😊😊😊 wish you fish will be okay.
I have fed the peas to my bettas to relieve constipation that has caused swim bladder and it works but you must catch the problem early. I feed 1/4 deshelled, boiled pea after a 24-48 hour fasting for a betta. I only keep bettas so I have not tried with other fish but I would imagine it would work.
PLEASE tell me what to do with our gold fish we have had him for 14 years he’s all white now his eyes are Cloudy with clear bubbles around them somome said it’s Popeyes eye the pet store told me not to treat the water cause it’s going to stress him out an that he’s going to die anyway could you please tell me what I can do please get back to me

This is a fairly big topic. A couple of important notes... Substrates can leach minerals, affecting the pH, KH and GH of water. An inert substrate will allow you to best adjust water parameters. The particle size and texture of substrate is important and should suit the type of animals you intend to keep. Smooth is best. Size depends if fish can accidentally swallow it. Dark colour is more suitable for the majority of fish.
My fish water is changed from borewell to tap water, suddenly started getting burns, and water is declorinated and water is clean.few say it's ammonia burn and few say its chlorine burn. What is it.plz help
Dechlorinator does not work on chloramine as it does on chlorine, some city water treatment plants use chloramine instead. Dechlorinator makes more ammonia when used for chloramine.
Hello doctor i need your help.. Our Catfish is like the Red Tail Catfish but ours has white tail, he have no appetite to eat, and his body starts to cover by some light white colors, and his tail starts to reddish, also his fins are reddish, we don't know what is happening huhuhu, please help

I have a pacu who I think is suffering from ammonia burn as well. His eyes are cloudy and his skin seems very ashy. He’s not eating and being very lethargic. One of my filters failed and I didn’t realize how foul the water was until his behavior changed. The water was very brown. Original test showed .5 ammonia but 160 ppm nitrate. After 2 days and 2 large water changes the nitrates are at about 5ppm. I have added 2 hob filters and corrected the issue with the 2 canister filters. I have used a quadruple dose of prime and added in pimafix. Is there anything else I can do besides water changes Dr. Loh ?

@@abbiethomas2316 I know, heartbreaking!! So glad he got the care he needed.
Yes I wish I could accomplish that more in nano tanks ten gallons or less
Please keep these videos coming ... WE NEED YOU
Thanks for all you do for fish. It's so uplifting to see the care you put in
I wish that we have more vets that specialise in fish here. Most vets here only deal with cats and dogs and not many prioritise on fish
Yes I had trouble finding knowledgeable vets when I had rabbits had to seek out exotic specialist those where practice was 80 percent or more dealing with pocket pets
By the way Dr Jenkins of avian and exotic in San Diego is one of the best well published too
Always make sure your aquarium is cycled properly before putting in fish. Great video!
And always make sure that when you cycle a tank, that it is a fish less cycle, not with a fish in the tank that will cause it to undergo unneeded suffering. don't use the fish as ammonia source, rather use simply food and use prime on schedule to get a tank cycled.
Thank you Dr. Loh for taking such good care of the fish!! You have an awesome job, keep up the good work!! :)
Thanks for the upload. Interesting that there are bandages for fish. That owner is so lucky that he had access to a fish vet.

That was a very interesting video. Oxygen and good filter bacteria is so important.
It increases aerobic bacteria. You can seek the internet for moving bed although i would suggest another more efficient bio media

Amazing video Dr. Very talented
I feel so bad. I never knew this could happen.
Wish I had a fish Doctor near me.
Got to keep up a weekly or by weekly water change and make sure you have enough beneficial bacteria in your system.
Also to top up your nitrifying bacteria on every water change

Fish have remarkable abilities to heal, provided you get an early correct diagnosis and treat them accordingly.
