I reached out to Tamara as a last resort to saving a fish in quarantine. Actually was surprised by her responding. She helped me with insight and suggestions. The fish made it and I couldn't be happier.

I bought her Marine Disease Diagnostics book as a thank you for helping me. Turned out I am really glad I have the book. If you're like me and have lots of questions this is the book you need. There are many great photos. But the book is full of information on dosing, treatment, lifecycles of parasites. Symptoms and misdiagnosis. I wouldn't be without this book ever again. And common myths.
Thanks Tamara
