    I know what you mean. I didn't mean to upset them lol. I just thought it was getting old trying to force feed their beliefs or opinions on people. ;D

    +1 There is more than one way to skin a cat and what works for some won't work for others. Trying to say that any one given method is the be all and end all of methods is very closed minded and will open you up to arguments.

    And post count is not an indication of experience or intelligence. Comparing it to the college point system is a bit ridiculous if you ask me. This is a fish board, not a university.

    1) I NEVER said it is the be all end all, that was my whole point, not to bash the OP, merely state avoid it in the first place and your DT is safe, and, you dont HAVE to live with it.

    2) Who, if they are educated on ick, would even want to put ick in their tank

    3) If one was educated on ick, who would even want to keep it in their tank?

    4) If one isnt responsible enough to have a QT tank for this hobby when it is known its a must to keep out parasites, I cant help you. Its about as equivalent to having sex without protection. Whats that? You got a disease from sex? No sympathy here. Time to deal with it then. They ONLY preaching I am doing is, in fact, like said, explaining to the other readers there is more than one way to skin a cat, aka, throw a sick fish in the tank and then go oooppps.

    5) I am less frequenting this board again for the same reason as last time, no one gets it here. I guess high post counts AND college counts missed this board altogether, lol???

    Wow. Just wow.

    Just to clarify, I did not put a sick fish in my tank, it developed it after being put in my tank. I still hold strong to my belief that pulling a sick fish out of the tank would only make things worse.

    Its not even worth the argument at this point. Some people are just hard headed and think its their way or the highway.

    Swimswithfish, congrats on your success and thanks for sharing your thoughts on the issue.
