I am also a strong believer in the hypo QT routine, and if people are not willing to make that commitment, then they should not buy these fish (or any other for that matter).

I will say, though, that I have had a total of 5 Pearlscales over time, and all of them were the same, so it was not a one-off. I have also tried many of the other popular control methods, and this is the only one that worked long term for me. Plus I have a couple of peaceful, beautiful fish additions to my tanks.

I don't think mark was taking a shot at you. He was saying your dedication to training these fish is a method he wouldn't have the time or patience for. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Sorry if I am seeming a little sensitive to that. But I guess I see too much of that on these forums. People love to peddle popular opinions on these threads, some of which are downright bad advice, and don't offer any direct experience of their own with appropriate explanations.

I can sit back and not say anything, and watch people struggle with bio pellets, cyano, aiptasia, phosphates, ich, SPS, etc, or I can try to help. Sometimes I do wonder if it is worth the effort...
