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.

Fish Joke for Monday-itis: run out :(

Posted on by TheFishVet - Richmond's School of Fish

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!

Posted on by TheFishVet - Richmond's School of Fish

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?
