Page 1 of 2 Did you know that your tropical fish can get sick just like you can?
They don't catch the same things that we do, of course but they can be
just as bad for them - some even fatal!
What Things Can Make Your Fish Sick?
There
are many things that can cause a fish to deteriorate in health, however
veterinarians attribute most health problems to stress! Like humans, a
fish's immunity defense is reduced when it's under stress. This makes
it much easier for bacterial and fungal infections to take hold on your
aquarium pets.
What Makes Your Fish Stressed Out?
Your
aquarium fish can get stressed out pretty easy. Any change in their
tank environment and especially putting them in a new tank can really
stress them out! It's imperative that you add new tank decor and
introduce your fish to a new tank gradually. Proper maintenance of the
fish tank water is crucial since poor water quality adds stress to your
fish. All those procedures are designed to reduce stress and
consequently, illness.
