Treating fish with ammonia burns and cloudy eye fungus on red tail catfish

[@ton9698]

I’m happy that I found this channel. A lot of vet med is focused on small companion animals. Thanks for not forgetting the fishies!

[@daniellewharrie]

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!!

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

Thank you Dr. Loh for taking such good care of the fish!! You have an awesome job, keep up the good work!! :)

[@BigBoy-kf2dh]

Always make sure your aquarium is cycled properly before putting in fish. Great video!

[@futuresocieties.]

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.

I haven’t ventured to far on this channel yet so sorry if this has been asked and answered before but what made you decide to focus on fish veterinary medicine?

[@StanTheObserver-lo8rx]

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?

Hi Doc amoxicillin can cure parasites in fish especially ich and velvet diseases?

[@thefishdoctor8746]

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.

Is feeding deshelled boiled peas good for treating fish? And what about potassium permanganate solutions/dips

[@professorm4171]

Depends what you're trying to treat.

[@cyndicombs1419]

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.

[@ritabratabanerjee8829]

The lower fin of my giant gourami is completely destroyed. What should i do right now????? Eagerly waiting for your valuable reply...

[@ashleykeelivoon]

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.

Does anyone know how the quality of substrate maintenance affects fish health ?

[@thefishdoctor8746]

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.

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.

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 ?
