If you're not up for it, I could help along here. Being a first responder and medical care provider, I've seen what happens outside of the hobby, such as incurable disease, bleed over into this hobby. And it's all our fault. Diseases exist for multiple reasons. The ONLY reason they are moving to the incurable side is lack of commitment on the human part. There are well formulated reasons that a med is required for a specific timeframe. When someone decides "Oh fish look great !!!! Guess I don't need to finish this", is where the "super" diseases are becoming a breeding ground. At a shortened med dosing, the virus builds up immunities to counter being killed off. I know a few folks here do t need to be told this, but there's quite a few that have no clue. And I generally find that with those that boast about how perfect their LFS is and the LFS would never do them or their tank any harm. But the same LFS also recommends male Betta's with male guppies.
+1 all the way, HN1. I have my own preconceived picture set in my head of what some of the looks might be when I post about a QT/HT and the absolute (IMO) necessity they serve. The caveat to having just an empty 10g and a small sponge in a DT, is it's basically instantly available. Research, preparation, and follow through are the simple keys to success. Enjoyment is the benefit.

Do you mean you've seen people catch these fish diseases or you mean the same sort of thing happen in humans? I think you mean the latter but just curious since I just woke up.
