Had to quit reading after page 15 therefore if this has been asked then please excuse me.
How do vegetarian fish acquire their gut bacteria and if it’s from the live vegetation then can that be substituted with fish that are omnivorous?
As one who has commercially sold and bred boa constrictors since the late 80s, I too have come to the belief that immunity surpasses medications. I let my sick boas heal on their own unless it’s at a point of death and then I outweigh the intent such as am I trying to grow a future breeder or pet. Breeders don’t get medicated since I don’t just breed to select the best looking but also seek the best genetically. Kind of like herd immunity in which the weak will perish and the strongest go on to procreate their genes. Sounds harsh but then nature isn’t kind.
BTW, I’m not a freak on cleaninness. Not with life in a box of water or box of terrestrials. No anti bacterial soap in my house, either. Played in the mud as a kid. Perhaps I should go back to that but not sure my knees would appreciate it
