fish medicine

Fish medicine involves the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of health issues in fish, both ornamental and commercial. It includes understanding fish anatomy, common diseases (like parasites, bacteria, and fungi), and water quality management. Treatments may involve medications such as antiparasitics, antibacterials, or antifungals, often administered through medicated water, feed, or injections. Good practices emphasize maintaining optimal water conditions, proper nutrition, and quarantine measures to prevent illness. Overall, fish medicine aims to promote healthy, thriving aquatic life through timely, appropriate care tailored to each species' needs.
