Why the word ich induces such a rabid response in people makes me scratch my head.
Let's distill this down. In my example ich is the indication of something that is wrong. I think that, for lack of a better word, the anti-ich people can agree with this. I posit that the something that might be wrong is inducing the ich or stress or whatever you want to call it is that certain types of fish might not be getting proper rest i.e. not sleeping. That is all.
That someone dragged this into a never ending discussion of ich is sad but often the case when it comes to discussing anything around fish disease.
The post was never really about it ich it was about stress. More specifically it is about how certain fish could be prone to this type of stress.
