Necropsy Video – Necropsy, Biopsy, Injection and More

This is an old video, but cutting off a fishes’ head isn’t something that goes out of style. The techniques demonstrated are gross. And not everyone does these things the same way. All fish involved in the video were DEEPLY if not TERMINALLY anesthetized. For example, the fish we decapitate was motionless with no gill movement. It was DEAD.

There’s an amalgam of videos here, some of the videos are my hands, many are most obviously not. The ones with the pretty fingernails are not me. Ha ha ha ha.

Sound was edited out of the video in case you’re banging on the sides of your computer speakers to hear some sort of audio.  lol

A Good Food To Make Your Medicated Food On. 

Making Medicated Food
If you're going to make a medicated food using the following tutorial [Making Medicated Food] I recommend you build the food on the pellet at right because it is specifically engineered to bolster the immune response in fish under attack. It's very palatable and holds up well in the process. I've used this food to make the medicated food shown in the tutorial. 
I suspect any food would be okay, but I don't know that the other foods would still float after treatment.

BlueRidge Probiotic
This particular food is made with hyper supplemented levels of vitamin C and some nucleotides that have been shown to bolster the immune response.
