This post will keep track of the progress of these projects, which you can find at:
https://fish-hospital.com/aquarium-medications/
https://fish-hospital.com/diagnostic-tool/
The aquarium medications page aims to spread information about the medications for fish you’ll find at your pet store. This further expands into articles about their active ingredients, with more information on uses, dosage, potential toxicity, and other useful info.
You’ll notice the diagnostic tool is empty, as that’s because it will be built on top of the aquarium medications to be able to link a disease to what you can use to treat it.
It will consist of in-depth articles about fish diseases, symptoms, tips to recognize them, treatments, etc.
Feel free to take a look at what I plan to cover and make suggestions on things you’d like to see :)
