[user_name]

I try to be nice to a lot of you people because i don't want to be hated on this forum, you don't see me going around saying what people do is BS. Im sorry if u didnt get your precious thank you that you needed, but maybe i was worried about a problem at hand that a lot of you are not helping with. there are some that are beg very tolerant and kind, but others are another story, so please, excuse my bad behavior, but i got some problems, and comments like user's aren't exactly helping.

I'm sorry.

I'm confused....
I'm hearing 2 different things on Ich. You say it can't linger while Karl and Lupin say, on your Ich thread I believe, that Ich doesn't linger. I dunno

now I'm confused.............

Ick CAN linger in a tank, my 55g proved that. (Unless it existed in a tiny amount)

I think Karl had said that it can linger in tiny amounts on the fish, not enough to me noticeable or effect them, it hides in the gills and other hard to see areas and then when the fish are stressed and their immune systems weakend it pounces......that's my understanding

for months though?

I dunno, I mean the parasite has a life cycle and it has to have a host to be able to live, I have no honest clue though.

I'm sorry.

Its fine dude, im just new, and i dont wanna get on anyones bad side. and i know you don't know this, but a do a butt-load of reaserch on this stuff, dont worry, sometimes i know what your talkin about, but im an ignorant person sometimes, i dunno, so yeah, its all cool tho.

Have the treatments started yet?

 

[Leginess]

they have, i have been putting about a 1/4 of a milk jug of dissolved salt and tank water every 3 hours or so, and i have already seen some spots dissapear on my RTS, im not sure if this is because its at free floating stage now or not, but i dont care, cuz im seein improvement. I also put a small airstone in there.

Jyay be sure to continue treatment even after all spots are gone. The parasite can only be killed in it's free swimming state.
