Yeah this was the kind of stuff I was interested in.
It really is just curiousity for me. I have found whats working for me and will keeping doing what Im doing but I find it an interesting topic.
I used to stress so much about trying to make sure my tanks were ich free, pull the fish out and QT them, hypo, copper whatever. I lost a lot of fish. I stopped with all that and accepted the fact that my tanks will have ich and focused instead on keeping the fish happy and not one fish has died in that time.
I am by no means saying everyone should have that attitude or that QT is a waste of time but thats just whats working for me.
I do freshwater dips on some fish that are prone to flukes and if I find flukes, I do QT until they are gone. I have had very bad luck dealing with flukes. I find ich a lot more manageable...
