Assess the risks
Health analysis, well-being, quarantine and compliance.
-
Formalize actions
Realistic protocols, prioritized with the teams.
-
Daily support
Regular monitoring, emergencies and continuous improvement.
Therapeutic care for aquarium collections
Support for quarantine, individual or group treatments, anaesthesia, analgesia, antiparasitic and anti-infective care, with protocols adapted to large water volumes, isolation options, filtration systems and sensitive species.
Protecting an aquatic collection means combining daily observation, prevention, shared procedures and decisions tailored to each species.

Frequently asked questions +
Can you monitor a collection containing many species?+
Yes. Monitoring is organised around species groups, water systems, risk levels and handling constraints, including sensitive, dangerous or difficult-to-isolate animals.
How can new animal arrivals be made safer?+
Vetofish can review acceptance criteria, arrival examinations, quarantine facilities, sampling, possible treatments, observation periods and transfer into the main collection.
Do you support anaesthesia and individual care?+
Yes. We can define capture, restraint, anaesthesia, analgesia, examination, surgery or local-care protocols, including monitoring and recovery.
Are treatments compatible with filtration systems?+
Compatibility must be assessed case by case. Water volume, biological filtration, ozone, adsorbents, other species and isolation options all influence protocol selection.
Can you train aquarium care teams?+
Yes. Training may cover clinical observation, mortality response, sampling, quarantine, biosecurity, anaesthesia and welfare monitoring.
