“Saving Sick Fish” by Dr. Erik Johnson

Forty page crash course with NO 'unnecessary' topics or information. You can solve fish health problems quickly and develop adequate proficiency to succeed with fish keeping and the aquarium hobby in an illustrated 2 to 3 hour read.

The author provides guidance and “how to's” based on more than twenty years experience as a fish health veterinarian. Author of several other books on fish health, this is not a “pop-up” Chat GPT produced guess-book.

The book is supported by 21 QR Codes which take the reader to more information at the book's supporting website of the same name, savingsickfish.org where the reader will find a support forum, more than 60 conserved (reader only) resources which are substantially video tutorials.
This is exactly the book you would give to a new hobbyist who wanted to be “pretty good” at fish keeping right out of the gate. You will stop losing fish and start enjoying the hobby.

If I was training a new employee for a pet shop, fish-friendly veterinary clinic, a garden center or pond company, this would be the book I'd hand the prospect. If someone bought a fish or tank from me, I'd give  them this book so they could get up to speed without ANY wasted time. There are 21 Q-R Codes that take you from A to Z if you somehow want more depth than the book gives you. There are nerds like that. The happy kid on the cover is better than a dead fish with it's guts showing, which is NORMALLY what you see on a fish diseases book. I hope you like it. Doc Johnson

Another personal introduction to the book with Dr Johnson in person.

“Spotless Ich” is a Thing. But it’s EASY. (Video)

For some reason, Ich organisms don't cause white spots in Koi and most goldfish. I've NEVER seen white spot on Koi. At the same time, some of the hottest Ich infestations were on Koi. WITHOUT WHITE SPOTS.
If you see Koi or Goldfish turning red, getting slimy and depressed, it's usually a crashing pH but that's easy to prove.
Then if the pH is okay, you could break out your trusty microscope.
OR just start some salting.
