Do some research before you kill any more fish. If you had saltwater ich, I would expect you to do a little bit of research before you immediately thought that the problem was fixed and decided to introduce some of the most ich-susceptible fish to your aquarium.

Sad. Really sad.

Some hobbies are better left for certain individuals.

/end rant.
I agree with you 100% Chad but heres the deal. The hobby is becoming more popular everyday and most people being people do not do themselves and these animals just service with proper research and education. This is the main reason most people leave the hobby before their tank sees even one year.

You and I are not going to change this fact. It is what it is. I get upset sometimes too and go off on a rant about this stuff.

In the end are you gonna give advice with the hope that some one uses it? OR just take care of your own tank and say to $#%@ with everybody elses. I can list 5 names of respected people here at RB that get discouraged and feel the same way at times to the point some have even left.

Why dont you continue to post advice and when I get off on a rant remind me of this post!
