Bad advice leads to fish pond deaths, treating fish lice, birds bring parasites to pond

[@DarkAngels2890]

I don’t even keep fish. I just find this channel/occupation absolutely fascinating.

[@nikkicedrone9311]

I wish all doctors, human or otherwise, and all scientists, funded or amateur were like this guy. Fully examines all avenues before cautiously, yet firmly moving forward.

[@wonderwend1]

Not only do you make your videos accessible and understandable to the everyday person but also to vets who wish to learn more.

[@Just_Lurking8]

I wish I had a doctor like him, where I live… Thanks for the videos and keep up the good work.

[@orianablack6809]

Love the channel, and have learned so much. Good to see there are vets who worked in this field.

[@mpwall123]

I feel so sorry for these little guys when they get sick like that. There’s nothing that can be done without your compassionate touch.Thanks for doing what you do.

[@Viktorya007]

I just love all of your videos! I'm new having fish and I find your videos so insightful and fun to watch. Thank you so much!

[@muddyfeetaussies]

Sorry love your videos.. got a family member a vet not quite ready to cover fish ( a exotics vet otherwise her practice is super busy with other species) but had the pleasure of meeting a vet who did train with you.. and hope as someone working In the pet trade use their knowledge. Sadly in the US fish vets are not used too much . Heck even had problems finding them a few years ago.. universities could not help with owners wanting help with valued fish.

[@slickwillie2288]

Thank you Dr Loh. I find your channel really fascinating and as a tropical fish hobbyist who follows many youtubers your channel is unique in the focus on disease, treatment and prevention. I also really like how you walk us through proper detection with your microscope. I am seriously thinking about getting myself a microscope to try my hand and as well!

[@Just_Lurking8]

Hi William, which microscope did you end up getting ? I am very interested in one also.

[@Jstroman221]

Did I miss the bad advice, I don't remember seeing it in the video as mentioned in the title 🤔?

[@EvenstarWD]

Did the lice cause the pale gills? Will their gills go back to a normal color after getting rid of the parasites?

[@thefishdoctor8746]

Yes, after removing parasites and with good nutritional support, these fish will return to full health.

[@EvenstarWD]

Thank you for your answer!

[@jclv30]

Where can we buy Diflumeron in Australia? Could I also use formalin to treat external parasites? Thank you doc.

[@thefishdoctor8746]

The owner was given a medicine with formalin by the shop previously that didn't work for this, and that's when he called me for help. You can get the medicines from your veterinarian. In Australia, my representatives are in Perth, Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra. Can we help you from these locations?

I caught a large bass in my 3 acre pond 2 days ago with these disk like parasites. It's the first time ive noticed an issue with any of the fish ive caught. Can a natural pond be treated?

[@thefishdoctor8746]

Yes, a natural pond can be treated, but the challenge is to get good distribution of the medicine.

Sir, my koi sitting at bottom. Irregular breathing. Loosing balance How to treat that koi

[@baphometslayer]

Start with testing all of your water parameters. Inspect the fish visually for anything out of the norm - state of mucus coat, any swollen or red parts of the skin or anything irregular

[@wonderwend1]

You could add in a skin scrape if you have a microscope or know someone who does.

[@Hk-nr2tg]

@@baphometslayer I have 3 gold & 4 koi. All are 9 months old. All water parameter are normal. Sick koi is one of them. All remaining fish are good. I am treating that koi in quarantine tank. Now, after visual inspection I see , redness on gills (near head) from outside..look like blood patches. & Dull body color. Hiding behind spong filter, scared if someone present near tank & swim & hide again. Deep breathing & loosing her balance during swim. Koi stop eating from 3 days. Someone try to treat that koi, he treat with tetracycline powder mix in water & give b-complex injection to koi. All treatment not working till. Can you suggest some treatment? I don't lost that koi. I am not professional just a hobbyist.

[@baphometslayer]

@@Hk-nr2tg sounds like something that's happening internally to the fish, whether it's disease or parasites or etc is hard to say. I'm only a hobbyist and I've never kept koi before - please check out this resource hanoverkoifarms.com/koi-symptom-diagnosis/

[@mykelpilar2079]

How many grams for 100 gallons of aquarium

[@thefishdoctor8746]

1890g in 100gal (US) would be equivalent to 5g/L.

[@kevinjenkins5340]

Are these parasites a risk to aquarium fish from wild caught fish like rainbow fish

[@wonderwend1]

A standard quarantine time should sort out that issue.

[@wyzemann]

@@wonderwend1 If one is catching wild or feral species and then mixing them with domestic/tank-raised species, perhaps no less than 30 consecutive days in quarantine should be applied. I do that much time even with store-bought species.
