I am a currently a first year vet student at Cornell and also a saltwater hobbyist, with three tanks up here with me. Recently I, along with other interested students at Cornell, have been discussing the possibility of starting a preventative medicine program at Cornell for aquarium fish. This would largely center around the existence of quarantine tanks at the College that people could either place their fish in after purchasing them for 4-6 weeks or send their fish to if they became ill. Vet students would then care for these fish, test water parameters, etc.
Administrators are very interested in starting this program, but wanted to get input from those in the hobby, especially in the Upstate New York region, about whether they believe people would utilize this service. Therefore, that is what I am asking: do you think people would use this?
Thanks for the input!
