Common Diseases of Ornamental Fish
Scale loss, fin rot, fin congestion, saprolegniasis (cotton fungus), and cloudy eye are common ornamental fish diseases.

Prevent by clearing waste and changing water regularly. Early signs are a white film on the eye, treatable with the 'old three methods'; if the eye turns clearly cloudy, add chlortetracycline or penicillin. Treat early.

Parrots commonly face keratitis, conjunctivitis, and cataracts. Keratitis ranges from surface scratches (tearing, light sensitivity) to deep or penetrating wounds threatening sight, treated by removing debris and antibiotic drops in dim light. Conjunctivitis from injury, vitamin lack, or infection needs boric-acid rinses and chloramphenicol; cataracts need surgery, so prevent with good hygiene and peace.
