Ornamental Fish Keeping
Ornamental Fish Keeping aims to provide most of the information needed before purchasing your first fish, deciding which fish will suit you best and gives crucial advice in order to keep your fish healthy.
The leaflet outlines welfare needs, gives guidance on whether to choose freshwater or marine fish, and stresses the importance of purchasing fish from a reputable source. It also gives advice on the facilities required and how to maintain an aquarium or pond (with particular reference to water quality and plants) as well as highlighting the importance of correct diet and how to spot signs of disease or environmental deficiencies.
Ornamental Fish Keeping is now available for download from the BVA AWF website at www.bva-awf.org.uk.
Veterinary practices can obtain batches of leaflets for the waiting room by emailing the BVA AWF at: bva-awf@bva.co.uk.
The RCVS has announced a new version of its 1CPD mobile app, with enhanced features for veterinary surgeons and veterinary nurses to record their continuing professional development.
