Signs of cyanide caught fish

[fdiddy]

You mention that overtreating ailments results in "superbugs", but my aquarium fish aren't mating, and wouldn't the disease also be quarantined to my tank? I would think that for this reason I have no problem treating "lesser" diseases because a superbug in my system is unlikely for the lifespan of the tank (??). At any rate, I think the recovery of fish is likely dependent on water quality and the amount of aggression they see while recovering. If you think that the damage is permanent, then a fish will last longer in better water quality and food because their filtering organs are the ones affected (Or this is what I gather) so death is due to a build up of toxins, hence why better food and water quality could be the determining factor in how long these fish last.
