The Nitty Gritty for your visit, if transporting your fish to the clinic:
For fish visits to the Hospital, always bring your own heat source for warm water species. For all species: bring a battery-powered air pump to use during transport and brief hospital stays. Please also bring a separate but equal volume of water relative to the volume you have the fish in when presented. This water should be from the original enclosure (pond or aquarium) so that this sample can be used for transport home and for diagnostic testing as needed.
