Picasso, I doubt the existing fish pass anything along to new fish. I just think all fish in the sea have an immunity to everything to an extent. They have to or they would all die because the oceans have been mixing for a long time so diseases including crypto are everywhere and do not bother fish until we put them in something like quarantine or even shipping containers.
It is our job, and it is a very easy job or I wouldn't do it, to just help the fish keep it's immunity by doing what I suggested dozens of times.
Many of my fish scratch a little for a day and may even display a spot here and there. Those parasites are always on wild fish and we only see them depending on where they are in their cycle. They will grow and fall off to try to infect something else, but they can't in a healthy immune system.
Some of them may get hold of a fish and make it to maturity and that is the basis of my theory/system.
I keep hearing silly things like my sponges eat the parasites, my UG filter traps them, my Ozone kills them etc.
This is nonsense. Parasites are probably all over my tank. I want them there.
