I'm not even sure I believe that tangs are more susceptible to things like ich or other diseases. I just don't think people provide proper nutrition for their tangs and then they get sick from lack of nutrition but we claim it's just because they are more likely to get diseases. The one thing that bothers me in the disease forum is just the lack of interest in fish nutrition or finding the trigger that caused one fish to get sick but everyone else is the DT fine. It's all about throw the entire tank in QT for 76 days with some PVC pipe and 2 or 3 medications with maybe some fresh water dips and tank transfers for fun as well.Especially with the tang in place thats speaks well for the sourcing for it to not have crypto issues
Well I don't believe you can cure a fish that has ich fast enough with food if it's already at the point where it's disease is being caused by a lack of nutrition. In my mind you are at the point of no return and it probably is best to try and medicate the fish while at the same time improving it's nutrition. I'm just saying I think it would be best to promote disease prevention through nutrition rather than sterilization. It's either your fish is fed properly from day 1 or you are likely to get diseases from lack of nutrition in the long run. The problem is I'm never going to prove this to a large group of people, or change any minds, when I'll have 10 people or more saying I'm wrong for every one person who agrees and says nutrition works for them. I could probably name everyone in the forum on one hand who actively promotes nutrition and/or the microbiome as a method for disease prevention.Agreed, but critics have the responsibility to make the replacement work example threads, and, using other people’s posts not their own tank.
that is missing here, build some and post em. Grab a post today from a diseased fish, message them you know how to fix it, do, post that proof and their testimony.
without that, qt and fallow will still be winning next year.
