Four Part Disease Sticky Series

[water_baby83]

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to let you know what is comming within the next few weeks.
I am working on a 4 part disease recognition and treatment sticky series, and will be posting part one most likely tomorrow.
The four parts will be broken down as follows:

PART 1:

BACTERIAL & VIRAL INFECTIONS

~ Intro & Disease 101
~ Signs / Symptoms
~ Causes / Preventions
~ Pictures
~ Treatments


PART 2:

FUNGAL & PROTOZOAN DISEASES

~ Intro & Disease 101
~ Signs and Symptoms
~ Causes and Preventions
~ Pictures
~ Treatments


PART 3:

TRUE PARASITES

" "
Same sections



PART 4:

NON-INFECTIOUS DISEASES & AILMENTS

Will cover things such as;
~ Tumors
~ Congenital Abnormalities
~ Etc.


I hope once this series is complete it will help many of you in recognizing marine diseases and infections, understanding them, and being able to offer quick and accurate treatments to your fish. Let me know if there is anything else you would like me to cover specifically in this series. As long as it falls within one of the categories, I will address it. Thank you.

Good finally some toilet reading
Oh I think you should include malnutrition problems as well as stunted growth since it is an "ailment."

Hey can you put in that sticky my name that I asked for that help. And when are you putting that on? I had a LFS man come to my home to make my aquarium. Its 72inches long, 24 inches high and 20 inches wide. Thats 150 US galons.

Salt water fish are hard to keep I guess. My friens killed about $8500 worth of fish. Any advice how to keep them easily and not have them dead. I have 3 damsels and I goby all died in 4 days in a 20g tank lol.

It is taking me a bit longer because there are other stickies I am also working on, and I am only one person, so I appreciate the patience.


Ahsan Ali - If you are wondering how to properly set up a salt water aquarium, and would like to know about cycling the waters, parameters, equipment, substrates, live rock, etc. I suggest you take a look throughout the Saltwater Forum at the stickies already posted, and then if you have additional questions, we will all be more than happy to help you out!
