Biochemic Tissue Salts Diploma Course "You can trace every sickness, every disease and every ailment to a mineral deficiency." Dr. Linus Pauling, winner of two Nobel Prizes. This statement is not at all surprising if one looks at the work done by Dr. Schuessler on cell salts in the 1850's. He found that the ability of the body to utilise nutritional material is impaired when there is a tissue salt deficiency. He also concluded that if the body became deficient in these essential minerals, the deficiency caused an abnormal or diseased condition. To Dr. Schuessler, a symptom was merely a distress signal, warning that a body constituent was missing and when restored, the body condition returns to normal. This safe, easy-to-use system is a MUST for all therapists and those with an interest in this subject.

Basic anatomy of a fish can teach various characteristics to aquarists, as these normally are according to their habitat. Different species sport different characteristics.
Fish anatomy centers on:
Body Shape
This determines the normal living environment of fish. This fish can live better in moving waters while the tall and laterally compressed species adapt better to slow-moving waters. Fish living on water surfaces have a flat back with an upturned mouth. Fish living at sea or on water bottoms have flat bellies with different swim bladders that allow them to hop instead of swimming at the bottom.
Head
The location of the fish’s mouth indicates its feeding habits. A normal fish mouth is terminal and it feeds mid-water. Surface feeding fish have an upturned mouth for feeding on insects. Bottom feeding fish have special tactile organs and barbells for locating food within muddy waters. Some also have a suction cup to pull in small invertebrates. Omnivorous fish have small mouths while predatory fish have large mouths.
Fins
The fins of the fish help them move. Fish with forked fins are regular fast-swimmers while those with rounded fins can move fast. Fish bred in aquariums have long, drawn out fins. Anal fins help stabilize movements while swimming.
Body Color
The body color of a fish denotes its health. Some fish can alter their colors while some change colors at night. Colors receive additional enhancement during the spawning period. Favorable water conditions, a choice of a variety of foods, and compatibility with mates within an aquarium bring out the best colors in fish.
Gills
Gills are the main respiratory organ of fish. Gills are sometimes useful for trapping prey within the mouth cavity. Freshwater fish excrete water through their gills to maintain body salt concentration.
Swim Bladder
The swim bladder in fish contains air and allows fish to swim without sinking or floating. This allows fish to sleep in mid-water. Some species have a special swim bladder, which take in oxygen and help in breathing.
Lateral Line
The lateral line located under the scales consists of a series of fluid-filled ducts to pick up vibrations from the water. These vibrations indicate to fish about predators, presence of food, and allow easier navigation.
