Dr Bryony Chetwynd-Glover BVSc MRCVS – LAVS director and lead vet joins The Fish Vet’s team as our representative in London, England.

Bryony graduated from Bristol veterinary school and has experience as a general veterinary practitioner. She realised that she wanted to specialise in fish medicine, and so has set herself up with a mobile fish veterinary practice.

She is currently completing her WAVMA (World Aquatic Veterinary Medicine Association) certificate in aquatic animal health. Bryony has always been captivated by the aquatic world and aside from owning pet fish for the majority of her life, Bryony has completed over 100 hours of aquatic based education.

Some of her most notable experiences include a 6-week preceptorship programme at the National Aquarium of Baltimore, long term volunteer work at Bristol Aquarium and a 5 day intensive masterclass in fish health held in Perth, Australia (by yours truly).

Bryony is the secretary for the Fish Veterinary Society (FVS) and is an active member of the World Aquatic Veterinary Medical Association (WAVMA). She is currently completing her requirements to become a Certified Aquatic Veterinarian.

Fish Joke for Monday-itis: run out :(

Can you believe that I’ve finally run out of (arguably bad) fish/dad jokes?

Please help with your contributions.

It just occurred to my friend (and I), why are there only “bad dad jokes” around?

Do “mum jokes” not exist?

Maybe it’s time to give “mum jokes” a go?

Have a FINtastic week! R <+>{

Signing off, richMONDay.

A complex fish disease related to feeding of live foods!

Do your fish love live foods? For years, fishkeepers have been catching little wrigglies of tasty morsels to give their fish a treat. Earthworms, slaters, crickets, roaches, mosquito larvae and more!

Is this good for your fish?

Generally, it’s a YES! Fish just love devouring them…

But, sometimes, it’s probably not a good idea.

Why not?
