One of the most frustrating experiences an inexperienced saltwater aquarium hobbyist can have is trying to diagnosis a disease in their tank.; The up side to the experience is that, once you have successfully diagnosed and treated a disease, the next time you see the symptoms it will be at an earlier stage, making a successful cure much more likely.

The Fish Disease Trouble Shooter is designed to help you proceed through a step by step process of following a path of specific symptoms to identify the disease.; The Trouble Shooter isn't perfect as every situation is different and there are a number of variables which are difficult to screen.; However, taking a few minutes to run your situation through the Trouble Shooter should help you focus on fewer possibilities.

You will find a number of links to more information as you close in on the specific disease your fish probably suffers from.

Let's start off with some of the more obvious symptoms.
