Abstract
SUMMARYA total of 100 tropical aquaria from six pet shops were sampled for the presence ofSalmonella, CampylobacterandAeromonasspecies. Eight fish tanks contained unusual serotypes of salmonella. None had been used to house terrapins. One hundred and three isolates ofAeromonasspecies were obtained from 98 tanks. One tank containedPlesiomonas shigelloides.NoCampylobacterspecies were isolated. It is suggested that a tropical aquarium may constitute an infection hazard.
