Pet fish illness – it happens to all living things

At one time or another, your pet fish may become sick. While at first you may feel helpless, do not worry, there are a number of ways you can treat your sick aquarium fish in your own home.

While most of the treatments depend on the specific ailment, it is a good idea to plan ahead and get another aquarium tank set up to use as a "quarantine tank" (this is also useful when adding new pet fish to an existing aquarium).

By separating the sick fish, you can speed up the healing process and at the same time; reduce the risk of spreading the illness to other aquarium fish. Fish ailments can be caused by a variety of sources. The most common causes of sickness are fungal, bacterial, or parasitic. The treatments are readily available at stores.
