Our aim is fish health care, provide an exact diagnosis, the necessary consultation and medical treatment. For diagnosis as well as treatment, we employ methods that represent the state-of-the-art in veterinary medicine. We examine both moribund, living and post-mortem fish. Live fish are anaesthetized prior to various examinations in order to spare them unnecessary stress. Once the examination is done, you take your fish home along with a treatment plan. Beyond this, we consult our clients about fish disease prevention.
