People look at Tropical fish just like they are a decoration and not as a real pet. For us the true fish keepers our fish can be good companion just like dog or a cat. Tropical fish are like other species in many aspects, and that includes the fact that they have diseases. They can have fungus, eye problems, internal parasite and even tumors Just as humans, cats or dogs may get cancer or other types of tumors, so can tropical fish. In this article I will review some of these diseases regarding the cause behind fish diseases and how to prevent, treat and cure them.?

For example, fin rot disease is maybe the common disease in aquarium fish but also easy to treat and to prevent. This disease caused by several negative types of bacteria (bacterial disease), in many cases we can see the fin rot disease burst the same time with other disease, It?is not difficult to treat but if you will neglect the treatment?it will cost the fish lives and other will infected. It is also very easy to see the fin rot disease burst especially in her early stages. We can treat and prevent this disease by maintaining our tank, performing water changes and maintaining our filter. We also should check our water parameters on a regular basis.? Another key to prevent fin rot disease is to avoid overfeeding avoiding overcrowd the tank.

Another common disease is the Ich disease, Ich is present all the time in?aquarium just waiting the “right” time to burst.? Ich burst when a fish suffers extreme stress such as sudden drop in temperature or other fish attacks. It also burst when a new fish enterer an establish tank. Sometimes high temperatures can cause ich to burst. Water changing is very important fighting ich outbreaks when we change water it is extremely important to “vacuum” gravel. Another way to treat ich is by using commercial chemicals. The last treatment is perhaps the best one; quarantine for several weeks (3-4 weeks) can save the entire tank.

Cloudy Eye disease is a symptom not truly a disease in and of itself.?Cloudy eye is pretty well known and is usually due to poor water quality (high nitrate, ammonia or such) or to a fungal infection. Cloudy eye is a condition in which the eye appears to be cover with an opaque film. Cloudy eye is typically a secondary bacterial or fungal infection. Cloudy eye can also appear when the pH drops too low, when the fish freaked out and panicked and ran into something and scratched its eye or when fish fighting; Fish always go for another fishes eyes when they fight so it might have got damaged.?As I always say, take care of your fish supplies and treat your tank water, the fish will take care of themselves.

Raynaud’s Disease is a vascular disorder that affects blood flow to the extremities such as fingers, toes, nose and ears when exposed to cold temperatures or in response to stress. Raynaud’s is sometimes called a disease, syndrome, or phenomenon. When one is suffering from raynaud’s disease, arteries that supply blood to the skin narrow, limiting blood circulation to affected areas. The narrowing of the blood vessel is caused by a brief episode of vasospasm. As a result, the skin may turn white and then blue for a short while. When the blood flow returns to normal, the affected areas may turn red and may throb, tingle, burn, or feel numb. The attacks of this disease may last from a few minutes to several hours and in extreme cases, infections and ulcerations may also develop in the affected area.

Far Infrared therapy has the effects of promoting blood circulations to the treated area. It also has the effects of relieving the vasospasm that restrict the blood flow.? By comparing the symptom of Raynaud’s disease and the effects of Far Infrared therapy, it can be shown that it is the right treatment for raynauds disease.
?
In practice, it has also been shown that far infrared therapy is an effective treatment for raynauds disease.? In a clinical study done by Dr. Gordon Ko and Dr. David Berbrayer at Sunnybrook and Women’s College Health Science Centers at the University of Toronto,? it has been shown that the far infrared therapy can significant improvements in both subjective measures of pain and discomfort associated with Raynaud’s Disease. The result is published in a paper published in the August 2002 issue of Alternative Medicine Review with the title of “Journal of Clinical Therapeutics”.

Firheals.com, a company specializing far infrared therapeutic products, has designed a type of Raynauds Gloves that is made from far infrared fibers. The raynaud’s gloves reflect the body heat in the form of far infrared back to the finger, and improve the blood circulation and soothe the vasospasm, thus relieve the symptom.

In addition, the Firheals Raynauds gloves are also helpful in relieving, arthritis pain, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, cold hands, rheumatism, numbness, cramps and the pains related to repetitive stress injury.
