I have done alot of research on fish diseases/parasites and most of them inverts are not prone to getting ... why is that?
If you leave a system that has a disease fallow for 6-8 weeks do you still keep feeding the tank like normal or reduce feeding schedules to minimal? I would imagine that if you reduced feeding wouldn't the inverts suffer?
I know this has probably been asked one hundred million times, but let's say a fish contracts ICH, you QT them for 6-8 weeks while leaving the tank fallow, if the fish stresses out when you put them back in the main tank isn't it possible they could contract the ICH again? What is the end all cure for this or is there such thing? On this same note ... if when you buy a new fish you QT them for the proper time and then transfer them to your main tank and they stress out isn't it possible for them to contract some sort of disease and blow the whole QT theory?
I truly think this is a never ending subject that has so many variables to it that one could possibly never come to a concensus!
