Koi & Goldfish Vet Jakarta: Disease Treatment & Water Quality

Many ornamental fish hobbyists (Koi, Goldfish, Arowana) feel helpless when their prized fish falls ill. But Aquatic Vets exist and can save your investment worth millions of rupiah.

Treating fish is not as simple as pouring "Blue Medicine" (Methylene Blue) into the pond. Very often, the root cause is water quality — something invisible to the naked eye.

Fish Diseases That Are Frequently Mismanaged

• Anchor Worm & Argulus (Fish Louse): Blood-sucking parasites that cause fish to scrape against surfaces. Forcibly pulling them out creates infected wounds (ulcers).
• Swim Bladder (Upside-Down Swimming): Often dismissed as "air swallowing," but this can be a bacterial infection of internal organs requiring antibiotics.
• Fin Rot (Fraying Fins): Tail/fins rot due to harmful bacteria. A sign that your pond filter is dirty or not yet properly cycled.

Birawa Vet "Pond Visit" Service

We bring a mini laboratory right to your pond:

1. Water Quality Test: Measuring pH, Ammonia, Nitrite, and dissolved Oxygen. Remember: 90% of fish diseases originate from the water!
2. Microscope Scraping: Taking a small mucus scraping from the fish to detect microscopic parasites invisible to the naked eye.
3. Antibiotic Injection: Injecting medication directly into the fish's muscle (more effective than water-soluble treatments that are often filtered out).
4. Minor Surgery: Anaesthetising the fish (water anaesthesia) to remove external tumours or clean ulcerated wounds.
