When fish need professional help

Find the right help.
Bring a clear history.

For severe or worsening breathing trouble, collapse or several affected fish, contact a veterinarian who treats fish promptly. These directories help you locate a professional; they are not emergency dispatch services.

Prepare the conversation

A timeline is more
useful than a guess.

Record what you can without delaying urgent contact. Ask the professional how they want photographs, video, fish or water samples prepared before transporting or sending anything.
