Support Our Locally Owned Pet Supply Store with Your Order of Fish Health and Wellness for Fishs

Do the fish in your fish tank look different? Do they have white spots, cloudy eyes, or ragged fins? Is their behavior unusual? Even well cared for fish can get sick, and when they do, Liz's Pet Shop in Chicago, IL has the fish health and wellness products to bring them back to their normal, healthy selves. We also supply everything you need to keep your fish healthy.

The help prevent your fish from getting sick, feed them properly and do not overcrowd the tank. Monitor temperature levels. Do your partial water replacements regularly. In some cases, however, despite your best efforts, diseases find their way into an fish tank. Below are some common aquarium fish illnesses and the signs that your fish might be suffering from them:

Ich, short for Ichthyophthirius multifiliis, is the most common aquarium parasite. Signs of ich (pronounced "ick") are: increased white spots, quick breathing, rubbing against accessories, or darting about the tank. There are medications and other treatments available for ich.

Other parasites include chilodonella, with symptoms similar to ich, and oodinium, aka rust, gold, or velvet dust disease, which causes an oddly colored dusting on the fish's body. There are also fish lice, anchor worms, flukes, and nematodes. Various signs and symptoms include unpredictable swimming, loss of shade, extreme mucous, trouble breathing, and bloating or wasting.

After parasites, one of the most common diseases are bacterial infections, such as fin and tail rot. Signs and symptoms of the bacterial disease are white film, cloudy eyes, rough fins, and open sores. Bacterial infections are complicated to treat due to the fact that antibiotics can interfere with the fish tank and filter.

Fungal infections are less frequent and commonly take the form of cotton-like growths.

Viral infections occur in goldfish and koi but are much less common in other aquarium fish.

If you see or suspect any of these issues in your fish, it's a good idea to speak to an professional regarding diagnosis and treatment. Pictures and videos can be helpful in communicating the signs and symptoms you're seeing.

When I got my cat, he came from a home where he was on a raw food diet. His previous owner was grinding chicken meat and bone and organs and supplements into a frozen dinner for him weekly. It's simply impossible for me to own and operate an industrial meat grinder in the tiny apartment I rent, so she suggested I go to Liz's for the raw cat food my little Zuko needs. Every couple weeks I drive to the city and buy bags of frozen raw cat food from Liz. She is super kind and knowledgeable and has suggested other treats and meal supplements that are great. She has a huge selection in her little family owned shop and they restock regularly. Her employees know just as much as her and, for a beginner cat owner, she made it easy to shop for his diet. My cat is humongous and healthy and has the softest, shiniest fur and the cleanest teeth with the pinkest gums. Liz makes it all possible with her holistic pet shop. Thanks, Liz!
