I agree. Sorry,not what I read Not true If thats the case why the defensive attitudes when asking for the source/s of the information.I certainly would have no problem if someone asked the whereabouts of information I posted.Sorry you feel that is cross-examine. As far as the...

shanefee, Also in your search for aid in your problem with Ich the use of Garlic has not been mentioned. Note: This is not any cure,but it is supposed to help with the fish's immune system. A fish with a healthier immune system may be able to ward off some diseases. Many are availabe...

Thanks,now I can do some more voracious reading: Like this is interesting from Bob Fenner,especially the salinity part http://www.wetwebmedia.com/ichartmar.htm The Real Deal: Treating Fishes in Isolation, Allowing the Main System to "Go Fallow" There are no "reef-safe" and...

The point of my question was: your source/s on the information you posted. I sincerely search for accurate information,and apologize that when asking where you got your info from you take it as being disputed.

I think the point of my question is kinda being missed here. 1st,as most, I like to research,and I have never seen any stating a MINIUM of 8 weeks,so how would I know they are a "professional source". Although you won't be harming anything (again,debatable information for fish's...

Man, I would love to see some of these reports. All the reading and studies I have read thus far usually state 4 weeks,(a small % said 6wks) but never a Minium of 8wks,thus my interest. Also I am in the process of treating Ich and would certainly hate to cut it short if that is truly the time...

Would love to see some studies showing where the tank needs to be fallow for a minium of 6-8 weeks. Not that it could hurt Please post any links if possible

I never realized acclimating a fish too long could be such a bad thing:22_yikes:

I'll try your method on my next purchase,thanks

Grins, This fish was in a tank with other fish. After my purchase the owner put him in a tank alone and kept him for another 2 weeks...& yes I do trust him,along with about 8 visits to the store over the 2 week period. I currently have 4 tanks going form a 20 gal to a 125 gal. That along...

Well I certainly can't argue that. The one fact for certain about this hobby is the amount of opinions. Usually thats why I try to ask questions directed to those with experience with the question at hand. This hobby can certainly be frustrating and vague. Oh well,live and hopefully,learn

Salinity was not that different See these articles on the Drip Method which I use http://saltaquarium.about.com/library/weekly/aa111802.htm http://www.aquariumpros.com/articles/acclimation.shtml http://www.fishlore.com/acclimating-tropicalfish.htm

I am going to pass on him. Truthfully though,I don't know wheather I totally agree on the Hippo being to big for a 75gal see attached for minium tank size http://www.saltwaterfish.com/site_11_03/product_info.php?products_id=276&parent_category=4&category_search=61&root_parent_id=4 and...

See attached http://www.saltwaterfish.com/site_11_03/product_info.php?products_id=281&parent_category=4&category_search=61&root_parent_id=4 Also it was in a tank by itself, and I go to this shop 3-4 days a week

Not sure why it died. No visable wounds. It actually started lookin bad on the drive home. When I got home and started to drip acclimate the fish,I thought he had died. After 3 hours of acclimation he appeared much better. I put him in the tank and he acted ok health wise,but like a caged rat...

Thanks. Unfortunately I already have the Hippo. Also it is a Yellow Belly and I am going to try to keep this fish. The Powder Brown is the one on hold. The guy at the LFS will give me full credit on the one that died so I really don't have to get another Brown,thus my asking the question...

No I did not allow the tank to go fallow. At the time I had no other place to move the fish,now I do. I did however hypo the entire tank,rock and all(I know) Wouldn't this kill off Ich if it were on the rock and in the sand?

Anybody have one ? Likes/dislikes ? Are they ich magnets too? I purchased one today and left him at the LFS. Eventually he will be going into a 75gal with a Blue Hippo Tang. Actually I bought a Powder Brown about 2 months back ,acclimated him for about 3 hours and he died after putting...

I don't think I have been overfeeding. Plus the water has been changed every other day @ about 50% and I gravel vac at the same time Does planaria multiply or cause any harm ?
