All fish can be vulnerable to parasites and diseases that are hard to detect with the naked eye. Our on-site parasite and disease identification service is designed to quickly diagnose issues, ensuring your fish stay healthy and stress-free.
How It Works:
- On-Site Fish Scrapes
We perform gentle scrapes on the surface of your fish’s skin, gills, or fins to collect samples. This is a non-invasive method to identify parasites or pathogens that may be affecting your fish. We bring all necessary tools directly to your location, minimizing stress for your aquatic life. - Microscopic Examination
The collected scrapes are analysed under a microscope to detect any harmful parasites, such as:- Ich (White Spot Disease)
- Flukes (Gill or Skin Flukes)
- Costia
- Trichodina
- Velvet Disease (Oodinium)
- Visual Inspection for Disease Symptoms
In addition to scrapes, we visually inspect your fish for external signs of disease, such as:- Lesions, sores, or ulcers
- Frayed fins or tail rot
- Unusual behavior (lethargy, gasping at the surface, flashing)
- Expert Diagnosis & Treatment Plan
Once we identify the parasite or disease, we provide a customized treatment plan to restore the health of your fish. This could include medicated treatments, water quality adjustments, or changes in fish care routines to stop the spread of infection.
Why It’s Important:
- Early Detection Saves Lives
Fish parasites and diseases can spread quickly and lead to fatalities if not identified early. Regular testing can catch these issues before they become a serious threat to your pond or aquarium. - Accurate Diagnosis for Targeted Treatment
Standard remedies may not be effective if the underlying issue isn’t identified. Our microscopic analysis ensures that you’re treating the right problem with the correct solution. - Minimize Stress
By offering an on-site service, we reduce the stress caused by handling and transporting fish. Our gentle scraping method is non-invasive and ensures that your fish are examined with minimal discomfort.
