Dr Loh, The Fish Vet, is now National!
With the National Recognition of Veterinary Registration, The Fish Vet’s services are no longer confined to Western Australia. No matter what aquatic species (ornamentals, zebrafish, barramundi, silver perch, Atlantic salmon, rainbow trout, abalone, shrimp/prawn, kingfish, or tuna), I can now service fish clients in:
Western Australia
Victoria
New South Wales
Queensland
South Australia
Tasmania
So, if you need a doctor for your fish, you need The Fish Vet.
Read more below in my email to the Veterinary Surgeons Board (Queensland) :
Dear VSB,
I’m currently registed in WA and it allows me to practice in NSW, Victoria and Tasmania. I’d like to apply for secondary registration in Queensland.
VSB’s response :
Queensland has enacted legislation to allow for the National Recognition of Veterinary Registration so no longer has ‘secondary’ as a category of registration.
This means that you can work in Queensland intermittently without having to register here if you hold primary registration in another Australian jurisdiction. Please refer to the information at this link for further details http://www.vsb.qld.gov.au/national-recognition-veterinary-registration.html *Please note that South Australia now also participates in this scheme.

Fishy dad jokes = Fish joke for Monday-itis
Love this intro, “There’s one thing all dads have in common and that’s the ability to make the corniest jokes possible. They’re so notorious, there’s actually a name for them: dad jokes. Dad jokes are just so punny, just have to roll your eyes and pretend they never happened… or else you awaken the beast.”
