I found this story to be very interesting and informative. I had never really given a second, or even really one, thought towards the subject of fish care and medicine so it was certainly an experience reading about it. The author of the article used the facts and the opinions of the people she interviewed effectively to convey how fish medicine is steadily growing and what it entails for veterinarians. The author also used the story of The Golden One as a way to creatively express both a story involving fish medicine while also conveying how and why it is a growing practice.
The journalism parts of the article are very evident in the quotes from professionals on the subject of fish medicine, and facts such as "diagnostics range from a basic exam ($40), blood work ($60) and X-rays ($55) to the advanced: ultrasound ($175), CAT scans ($250)." The author also brings her own POV into the story, such as "I stared into Sushi's tank for hours. Marsha put the ''Twin Peaks'' theme song on repeat, and I thought, Fun fish." These both work to keep the reader informed and interested in reading more.
