Love your videos. Not much content about pet fish in the veteran world compared to other animals. Your videos are greatly appreciated. It's nice to understand the procedures. Of all the fish I've kept goldfish have had the most problems and fancy varieties are the least healthy. I wish there were more robust genetic stock. They are wonderful fish but the health problems of even the common I raise makes taking care of them a challenge. I have a common goldfish with a growth on his mouth and have been wondering about what to do if it began to impair his life. It's nice to see a similar surgery.
Hello, I'm glad you're back! Could you show more microscopic diagnoses with parasites and bacteria that are less common than flukes, ich, etc.? Additional resources for identifying the more rare conditions would be greatly appreciated! I'd also love to see more with smaller fish which can be difficult (e.g. obtaining and examining samples from small common fish like bettas and tetras).

I love this channel! So interesting and heartwarming that there are actually vets for our pet fish. Thank you for what you do and for bringing us along on the adventure.👍💖🙏
In Korea, there are few surgeries for fish, and most of them are treated with drugs, so there is a lack of data on the surgery, but I always study indirectly while watching your videos. Thank you for always uploading high quality videos
I'm so glad to find your channel. I've been watching these other vids/shorts of fish breeders using clove oil and cutting their fish on their own and also doing other 'surgeries' at home and it just made me anxious. I don't even have fish, but it's great to see a pro here

Hi Michael, we have made a video reviewing what we know about Fish Tuberculosis and it canbe found at this link - th-cam.com/video/RW_U4tvtO5k/w-d-xo.html
@@chasesmith9681correct, they can get mycobacterium marinium (might be spelled wrong) tho. Which can be transfered to humans if not careful and cause tb like symptoms. Not exactly tb but similar. Not sure if that's what they were talking about or not
My fish get disease and stuff like that a lot. Best thing I can do is isolate them. All the fish that have been unlucky enough to catch a disease in my tank have died. I’m a beginner and there’s things I don’t know how to cure or how to spot a disease. My shrimp died today too.

It's not fancy, it's an abnormality that can easily be eradicated by not letting it have babies...but yeah I got what u were saying...French bulldogs can't even give birth naturally...it's fucking disgusting! Full bred dogs aren't natural and that's why they have so many medical issues...their just a product of incest..
Hello Doc. I have a flowerhorn with swim blatter problems. I tried everything. Peas, Epsom salt baths, lowering the water level and antibiotics. Nothing worked, so I removed the air with a syringe. It worked for a day or 2 then he was upside down again. I repeated this 2 more times with the same results. What can I do to help him?
Hello, Dr. loh I'm a subscriber. Fish therapy video I'm enjoying it. The fish broke the swimming bladder. Parasites, germs, and Epsom I've been treated, but it's not working out. Is there any other way to cure the disease?
Hi doctor I need your immediate attention please, my fish are dying, we have parrot and Oscar fish I brought 6 4 died. I see some holes on there head and they act wiered, they start jumping all over the tank suddenly and one of them dies. Please make video on this if possible.and kindly suggest me a medication asap.
Great stuff! So I’m wondering, because I’ve heard that fish don’t feel pain! Since you know so much can you answer if they do or not? If it is, is it painful or more discomfort? Thanks
Dear Dr. Richmond, my molly fishes belly sunken and fishes becme thin and dying.. Is it because of internal parasites? Could you please suggest some remedies to cure this?
I am trying to figure out why I have had 2 new young koi fish I bought several months apart. Why they all of a sudden are dead and floating. Nothing looks bad on them the only thing I have noticed is a small green abdomen????
Good Morning, thank you for the interesting and informative videos, please could I ask for your advise? I have a black moor around 7 months old who has developed what I thought to be dropsy but now apparent that it is GBD, I have no fish vet local to me living in the UK they don’t see aquatic species unfortunately and I am desperate to save his life. He has 1 large bubble and a few small smaller externally please could you advise treatment to reduce the pressure and support him, Currently he is in quarantine with no filter and an air stone I was treating with 1/8 teaspoon Epsom salts and anti internal parasite every day moving him to an exact match tank. Now using fresh water ensuring no micro bubbles, water 20 degrees Celsius, any advice much appreciated. Thank you so much.
Hei doc. I have a little question maybe you can give me answer. I have goldfish with broken bone on tail. If i cutting that tail can that tail growing back?
I use cautery mainly to seal bleeding blood vessels when excising cancers. It wasn't needed in this instance as the wen didn't bleed. Trimming it back and flat, without leaving tags will prevent it growing downwards to cover their eyes.
I was wanting to know could you give me advice on Epizootic Ulcerative Syndrome, which I believe is affecting one of my fish at the moment? What would be the best direction to take and is it common in home aquariums? Thank you!
good day sir . i have a problem on my koi, i travel them almost 2-3 hrs yo transfer for new pond, after 3 days, i noticed one of my koi flicking his body, i decide to quarantine and treat antis parasite medication, but my koi didn't survive . Hope you notice this message sir .
I cut my orandas wen back a few months ago and he did fine. He now has a swim bladder problem. Although I have removed air and separated him due to stress. I also have been giving him antibiotics and a salt bath approx every other day for about a week. Will he ever swim upright again? Or am I being inhumane keeping him alive? He stays upside down 100% of the time. He is trying to swim more though.
There are a number of factors that could be the cause of hypobuoyancy which relate to genetic abnormality, disease of gut and/or the swim bladder, aspirating too much air. I'm unable to make a definitive diagnosis or make a serious decision such as euthanasia without a consultation / seeing the fish in person. I encourage you to consult with your local fish veterinarian. In the meantime, increasing the specific gravity of the water by adding 5g/L of salt (sodium chloride) can help him become a little more buoyant.

Hi Luiz, the powder is derived from a plant compound and turns into a slippery sticky gel upon contact with, and absorbs, the liquid.

@@Andreas-gh6is Well, that does look like a lower quality Oranda. You’re right the spine is pretty deformed. But most Orandas actually live very comfortable lives with caretakers that know what they’re doing. The biggest downside to that breed is the when constantly growing and needing to be trimmed once in a while. The initial culling of small fry is meant to take care of the deformed ones.
@@nickolasshearer6836 They are all deformed. It's just that some are so deformed you can't even pretend they're healthy.

Even when they have high mortality (mostly for other reasons), you don't need to help it along, and a line that produces that many defects usually has to be discontinued.
I'm glad everyone loves their deformed pets and all that, but can we stop selectively breeding for this kinda thing on purpose? Kinda gross. Like breeding g for dwarfism in dogs and cats. Nothing wrong with an animal with dwarfism, but we shouldn't spread it on purpose... as a feature

There is a white thing grown on the wen of the goldfish what should be the treatment
Makes me wonder why it's bred this way
He really uses everything possible to run the bill up.
What
Kindly do a video for swimbladder in flowerhorn!!!!!!!
This is sad wonder why do there skin grow like this ,,,is good that there are Dr that can help them
help i've been on a rabbit hole about fish wen trimming for a week now
Bettas next!!
Should this be done with thin sharp blade instead of scissors?
❤great job
My fish get disease and stuff like that a lot. Best thing I can do is isolate them. All the fish that have been unlucky enough to catch a disease in my tank have died. I’m a beginner and there’s things I don’t know how to cure or how to spot a disease. My shrimp died today too.
Could you make a video about Dwarf Gourami disease (DGD)?
Oh wow, I've seen folks do this while the fish are awake :( and I don't believe are anesthesized. Yikes! Cool procedure though.
That's why you shouldn't buy fancy goldfish, pugs, munchkin cats or other pets bred for our amusement or aesthetics!
Case in point.
Munchkin cats are a naturally occurring breed :p

i literally just watched a guy on youtube do this on a fully awake goldfish, then he put the fish in salt water for a bit. i feel so bad for it now
The goldfish could be in a ‘drugged’ state to help reduce any possible pain or distress

The simple answer is yes, fish feel pain.
How frequently does this procedure need to be redone?
Hi Dr. Different topic but what is your take on tannins for bettas? And the use of botanicals ie Indian Almond Leaves for this purpose. Thanks
Hi, doc. i have a silver arowana , what should be the dose of ivermectin or levamisol for internal parasite, thanks
and how would they do that on their natural hábitat??
These fish don’t exist in the wild. They have been specifically bred that way and descent from wild carp

How do you tell the difference between an anesthesized fish, and a dead one?
😂😂😂
Why not remove all the wen
what about using cautery to help prevent grow-back?
I use cautery mainly to seal bleeding blood vessels when excising cancers. It wasn't needed in this instance as the wen didn't bleed. Trimming it back and flat, without leaving tags will prevent it growing downwards to cover their eyes.
Is it safe to remove large amounts ?
Ohio final boss brother
I was wanting to know could you give me advice on Epizootic Ulcerative Syndrome, which I believe is affecting one of my fish at the moment? What would be the best direction to take and is it common in home aquariums? Thank you!
this has really turned into a meme but I have to ask does this hurt the fish? does it not have nerves there?
yes fish feel pain hence the need for anaesthetic
Generally it’s kind of like your calluses or nails, but it’s best to put them some sort of anesthesia-like agent to be sure
