The Emergency Triage Field Guide for Saltwater Aquarists

When something looks wrong with your fish, the first few minutes matter.

The Emergency Triage Field Guide is a 26-page digital quick-reference designed to help saltwater aquarists narrow down what may be happening, determine how urgent the situation is, and identify the appropriate next step.

Start with the symptom you can see, then follow clear diagnostic pathways that help distinguish between common diseases, environmental problems, injuries, and other causes.

What’s inside

• 8 symptom-based diagnostic flowcharts for gasping or rapid breathing, spots or discoloration, sloughing or peeling skin, redness or sores, not eating, clamped fins or lethargy, flashing or scratching, and a swollen or bloated abdomen
• 9 complete disease protocols covering bacterial infections, Brooklynella, edema (dropsy), flukes, HLLE, internal parasites, marine ich, marine velvet, and Uronema
• Emergency-action guidance to help distinguish situations that require immediate action from those that can be monitored
• Treatment and recovery guidance for the diseases covered in the protocol library
• Article and resource index connecting you to the complete Manta Systems articles, medications, and techniques referenced throughout the guide

Designed for real aquarium emergencies

This is not a general fish-disease textbook. It is built to be something you can open when a fish is showing symptoms and quickly work through what you are seeing.

This guide supports triage and helps narrow down what may be wrong. Appearance alone cannot confirm a specific disease. When appropriate, consult an aquatic veterinarian.
