You have the luxury to ask a vet, because cats are common knowledge for most pet vets. We fish keepers can't do the same. Is there professional fish vet? I don't think so lol. Most "vet" are in fact not knowing anything. Asking fish store employees would be the worst possible choice, since they are taught to tell "lies" by the store owners. "Set up fish tank and let it run 48 hours before adding fish"... that's the standard suggestion by all pet stores, and also by Walmart employees if you buy fish from there. That can't be more wrong. Fish die because of that. There is no real fish vet. We have to look for information online, and ask experienced fish keepers on the forums. That's how I learned everything I know about fish.
