The effects of chlorine toxicosis in fish.

It’s summer time and there’ve been numerous incidences of over-filling ponds. Why do fish die? What damage do they sustain from the chlorine in tap water?

Lethal testing for viruses in ornamental fish postponed after complaints by pet industry – ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

Are these the results of the petition created by Mr Rout at Boronia Aquarium and by people-power?

A pity that the leading picture is of a wrong type of angelfish.

I’m glad to have found a fish veterinarian to help look after fish work in Victoria.

You can contact him via our website.

Just another way TheFishVet’s looking after the welfare of fishes.

“Miracle” Gel Powder used by TheFishVet in treating skin ulcers in fish.

There has been a recent flurry of interest in the product I use to treat fish skin ulcers. The problem with just applying betadine onto fish ulcers is that they wash off immediately when fish are replaced in the water.

TheFishVet’s Powder Gel is a unique way to ensure sustained application of antiseptics or antibiotics on fish wounds. Puffer bottles are available though TheFishVet’s Online Shop. It contains 10g of powder and retails at AU$56.95. There is no expiry date (I had one bottle that was just as good, after more than 7 years, and so it’s good to have on hand for emergencies).

You can treat many fish with ulcers provided you use it sparingly as shown in the video <

>. Applying it too thick will result in the bandage floating off upon returning fish to the water.

Much of the cost is the bottle and packaging of the powder. If you are interested in placing a bulk order, we can provide you with a special price.

Thousands of fish found dead in Collie River.

Finding multiple fish species and including marron, it suggests an environmental/toxic cause is likely (instead of infectious). Let’s see what authorities find as the cause.
