Actually incredibly important video, waiting for part 2 :)

[DashDrones]

Thank you father fish! I never thought I'd see a video without a soil base, thick sand substrate, tons of plants and a lightly stocked tank. I suppose sometimes fish do need to visit the hospital.. 🏥 All the best from Ireland 🇮🇪

[MandyJane]

That's amazing, I never dreamed you could use antibiotic ointment on a fish!

[karolvizone]

Thanks, Father fish!! My first fish tank is about 10 days old and has 2 female betas for now. I will get a small tank and have it handy for when I need a hospital tank. God bless you ❤

[sosonic]

You are a true legend Father fish. God bless you Sir ❤

[JarkkoLaitinen]

I found these your videos wery helpping. I did have new fishes and one of them get sick, thanks to these videos i know what to do! Many thanks for share information to me and all others

[FelipeJL]

Muchas gracias por sus videos con subtítulos en Español, son muy útiles para las personas que no dominamos el Inglés. No es lo mismo un video con subtítulos en Español que un video traducido automáticamente por Youtube debido a que la traducción que hace Youtube es de mala calidad.

[audricmargate]

Awesome and very informative vids sir! Greetings from the Philippines!

[jwm]

Thanks for the video it was very helpful.

[hongkit]

Being a good fish keeper it is common sense to me already. I have always have followed your foot steps since day one as a fish keeper At the age of 9 when I fish have my fancy tail Runkin gold fish tank. Thanks for your video. I enjoy it alot . Enjoy your day. My fish keeper professor.

[Guppy_Girl]

I didn’t know the antibacterial ointment was fish safe. Great tip!

[christianolsen]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. To answer back with a suggestion of video, please consider a detailed review of of known, fatal illnesses for fish. Examples: thinning, gouramis virus.

[AquaticDomain]

Thanks for the video FF. Can I use well water vs RO water? I assume yes but wanted to make sure. I love the KIS approach. I love that you explained the differences between the two.

[dddkmkl]

So much amazing info! Thank you Father Fish!🤗 For a Tiger Barb with suspected dropsy, how much garlic, how often and how long?

[meikatompai]

Do you have any recommendations for Cory cats? I was gifted a bronze cory that was chomped at repeatedly by crayfish. The cory is missing parts of his fins, has bumps/maybe scars and what looks like white fungus spots on both sides of his body. Somewhat of a red patch on his side as well. Anyhoo, can I do a diluted salt bath for a corycat? and how long would you suggest the bath be for? Thanks Father Fish.

[magicben]

Wonderfully Informative Video Father Fish! Ill ask this over in discord as well hopefully to help spread the knowledge or if you would rather go into more detail over there. Do you have recommendations for keeping Ammonia levels low in a hospital tank? Is a daily water change frequently needed? If so, does salt need to be added back in proportionally? Are there water sources (other than well water) that wont have chlorine/chloramine? You described how the process of de-clorinating creates ammonia which was very informative. Thanks as always!

[LogacysAquaticLove]

Which brand of antibiotic ointment do you recommend? Love you, your channel, your videos! ❤💯

[reneesnugent]

How do you do water change for hospital tank. I've got a 1 gallon. What kind water, I've got well water. Your awesome!!

[haileyshappenings]

I have an Endler from the LFS with clamped fins and White on its tail fin. Added it to a salt hospital tank. How long do I leave it in for? A few days or until the symptoms disappear? Just joined the Shoal on Discord but haven't heard back yet. Loving the clear instructions and knowledge sharing. Thank you!
