Instant Aquarium Diagnostics & Bioacoustic Health in 3 Seconds
Over 80% of aquarium fish losses stem from undetected water quality crashes and parasitic outbreaks. FishTank Doctor pairs multimodal vision with bioacoustic pump monitoring to detect pathogens, ammonia spikes, and impeller wear instantly.

Aquarium Diagnostic Studio
Upload an aquarium photo, filter audio clip, or select a pre-calibrated pathology preset to run the full multimodal analysis pipeline.
Drop Aquarium Photo or Audio
Supports JPG, PNG, MP3, WAV, WebM up to 10MB (REQ-001)
Telemetry processed via Gemini 2.0 Flash Vision & OpenAI Whisper. Ephemeral processing: user files are scrubbed after analysis (REQ-005).
Ichthyophthirius multifiliis (White Spot Disease)
Distinct granular white cysts (trophonts) detected across dorsal surfaces and pectoral fins. Trophonts feeding under epidermal mucus layer.
- Ensure scaleless fish (e.g. loaches, corydoras) receive half-dosed medication.
- Remove activated carbon from the filter before dosing chemical therapeutics.
Automated Water Parameter Telemetry
FishTank Doctor pairs image colorimetric analysis with computer vision turbidity sensors to detect invisible chemical spikes before tissue necrosis occurs.
Excreted across gills. Toxicity increases exponentially at pH > 7.6 and temperatures above 26°C.
Binds with blood hemoglobin to form methemoglobin (brown blood disease), suffocating fish.
Terminal oxidation product. Causes chronic immunosuppression, slow growth, and algae proliferations.
Controls osmotic equilibrium and chemical ionization of toxic dissolved compounds.
The Nitrosomonas / Nitrospira Biochemical Oxidation Sequence
Extremely toxic to gills and nervous systems at levels > 0.25 ppm.
Intermediate toxic product blocking oxygen transport in blood.
Low toxicity end-product diluted through periodic partial water exchanges.
Bioacoustic Filter & Aerator Diagnostics
Aquarium life depends directly on continuous dissolved oxygen (DO > 6.0 mg/L). FishTank Doctor records 5 seconds of pump audio to detect cavitation, mechanical wear, and air lock before fatal filter stall.
AC Mains Magnetic Hum
Baseline magnetic core vibration from continuous submersible synchronous motors.
Shaft Eccentricity & Rattling
Ceramic spindle fractures or magnetic rotor detritus buildup causing mechanical wobble.
Micro-Bubble Cavitation
Imploding vapor cavities against impeller blades, causing rapid plastic erosion and oxygen drop.
Continuous sound levels > 50 dB from failing aerators increase cortisol levels in Corydoras, Plecostomus, and Discus.
Aquatic Disease Reference Index
Comprehensive etiology, visual manifestation signs, and clinical quarantine intervention protocols for freshwater and marine species.
Ichthyophthirius multifiliis (White Spot)
Ciliated protozoan parasite burrowing under dermal epithelium.
Sugar-grain white dots, flashing/scratching against decor, lethargy, clamped fins.
Gradual thermal elevation to 30°C, aquarium salt (1 tbsp/5 gal), malachite green/formalin.
Oodinium / Piscinoodinium (Velvet / Rust Disease)
Dinoflagellate parasite with photosynthetic chloroplasts.
Fine golden-yellow or dusty sheen across body under flashlight, rapid opercular movement.
Copper sulfate or chloroquine phosphate, total tank blackout for 5–7 days.
Bacterial Fin & Tail Rot
Aeromonas hydrophila, Pseudomonas fluorescens secondary to stress.
Frayed, shredded fin margins, whitish milky border, red blood streaks at base of fins.
Pristine water changes (40%), aquarium-grade nitrofurazone or kanamycin.
Dropsy / Infectious Ascites
Internal organ failure (kidney/liver) causing fluid accumulation in coelom.
Severe abdominal bloating, pine-coning scales (scales standing out), exophthalmia (popeye).
Epsom salt baths (magnesium sulfate 1 tsp/gal), targeted antibiotic quarantine.
Acute Ammonia Gill Burn
Free unionized ammonia (NH3) corrosion of delicate gill lamellae.
Purple or inflamed red gills, gasping at surface, dark patches on body, erratic swimming.
Immediate 50% partial water change, double dose chemical ammonia detoxifier.
Swim Bladder Disorder (SBD)
Impaired hydrostatic organ due to constipation, anatomical breeding, or infection.
Inability to maintain buoyancy, swimming upside down or sinking to substrate.
Fast for 48 hours, feed blanched peeled green peas, adjust water column depth.
RESTful Diagnostic Integration
Integrate automatic fish disease detection, water chemistry inference, and acoustic pump monitoring directly into aquarium controllers, mobile apps, or aquaculture telemetry systems.
