🌟🐟 Koi & Goldfish Lovers, Take Note! 🐟🌟

Dreaming of a picturesque pond filled with koi and goldfish? Here’s a crucial reminder to keep their home healthy and vibrant (and "trendy" ponds to ignore!):

🚫 No Bottom Drains: Without these, waste and debris settle at the bottom, leading to poor water quality and potential health issues for your fish.

💧 Poor Water Chemistry: Inadequate filtration and unbalanced water conditions can stress your koi and goldfish, causing chronic stress and poor overall health.

🌿 Limited Growth Space: Crowding your pond with too many fish or not providing ample space can stunt their growth and lead to overcrowding issues. Make sure your pond is spacious enough for your fish to thrive!

For a thriving pond, ensure proper filtration, include bottom drains, lots of room for growth over the years (or decades!) and keep water chemistry balanced. Your koi and goldfish will thank you with vibrant colors and joyful antics! 🌟🐠💧

Today is . An important reminder is to remember that the best way to appreciate wildlife is to avoid contact and love them from a distance. Or in other words, let them stay wild!

A fabulous colleague in the news!

Stress, ovarian cancer, buoyancy disorders: Every pet has its troubles, and needs a good doctor who makes house calls.

And that’s a wrap after 4 highly educational days representing the first recognized fish vet specialty at ABVP!

What a great group of veterinarians who take their practice seriously but definitely don’t take themselves too seriously (we had a fun time too!).

So many great equipment leads from vendors - I am excited to add new services to help fish owners and others around Southwest Idaho.

Did you know sagebrush is slowly disappearing from the west? These plants are critical components of the habitat that many animals rely on for food and shelter, including insects that feed fish in the rivers and streams. Efforts are underway to replant sagebrush, but natural regeneration is hampered by rampant development, droughts and extreme heat in Idaho in recent years. We spent this summer and fall growing and planting with local conservation projects on the middle Snake River.
