With the continued popularity of fish as pets, a market can be established for veterinarians with experience with aquatic animals. Fish owners often form a strong and significant emotional, as well as economic, bond with their aquariums or ponds. With proper husbandry, common mistakes made by fish owners can be treated, if not avoided. Diagnosis and treatment of a majority of common fish problems can be facilitated through an understanding of proper saltwater and freshwater fish husbandry.
