Fish veterinarian?

[AquaSox]

Anyone know of fish doctor in this area? Even in the rest of Canada would be good too.

Need one that identifies and treats fish disease. Thanks.

You are not serious OR you are ?! Guess my wife is right, I am just not sensitive and sentimental. And there are fish that cost thousands

However, I might have seen one posted before.

[AquaSox]

Yeah, not sure I'd how much i would pay.

But I am serious, because I have treated one of my tanks with everything I can think of to no avail. Quarantining is not an option. Have tried internet forums and searched for info, but nothing I can find quite fits.

The only option would be for me to cull everything and remove all the plants and sterilize the whole thing. If I removed all the fish and introduced new ones its possible they may get the same disease.

Perhaps even a lab where I could send a deceased fish to for testing would be good.

This one has to be top on one of my list.
Send me a PM and I'll contract my services to you.
What type of fish do you have that's causing you this distress?

fish arent that hard...

ive cured just about everything you can think of with some garlic and tea tree oil and water changes..

have you asked on here for help?

the internet is your doctor.
Since your talking about fresh water, and unless this is some rare expensive kind of fish, i say nuke it all, its cheap to start over.

As I mentioned I have checked the internet. I have been on here and other forums. No one can identifiy the problem. I have used several dichotomous keys.

This is not a run of the mill problem. I do not want to cull and rescape everything. The best thing to do is identify the disease. Even if I nuke this tank who is not to say that other tanks haven't been cross contaminated, but no symptoms are visible. Its not as simple as nuking.

You are not serious OR you are I do not know you are a fish vet ?

Do a Call the Vet at $3 a minutes or so. Weather Canada used to provide Call a Meteorologist at $3 - $5 per minutes. I actually used them for a project some 25 years ago

i dont mean to be rude... but you sound overly paranoid...
what fish do you have that its so much of a problem to get rid of, use boiling water in the tanks if you have too. pour some bleach in there like what in the hell is this super problem you got, its fresh water man lol.

Pics/Video or i believe nothing that is so serious - hell ill take some of your water and throw it in one of my tanks for s**ts and giggles.

edit: i feel like im being a *******.. i probably am.. im sorry lol

Edit 2: on a serious note, you say no symptoms... so how do you know your fish(s) is even sick...

[raeven]

I have to agree. This sounds a little bit like paranoia than anything else.

You say you've looked all over online for something telling you about this sickness that's going through your tank, but you can't find anything about it. Fair enough. However, after sterilizing everything, I don't see why you feel the need to continue to worry about it. The odds of getting it again are extremely rare if no one has even heard of it in all the years of this hobby.


On a side note, I happen to agree with CisBackA. If you say there are no symptoms, how are you sure that there's even a problem to begin with?

[AquaSox]

No symptoms are visible in other tanks. as per post above...this is not paranoia...it has been on going for 6 months. Please read the post.
I have not got specific about symptoms in the affected tank because I am asking about a fish vet.


@gklaw
I am serious about the fish vet...I would consider paying, but I would need some sort of estimate on how much time they would need/ how much I would need to pay. You said 3-5 dollars/minute does that include a laboratory's time or just the vet's time?
