I tend to worry a lot about my tank, prob why i spend so much time keeping an eye on it. I have just heard to many horror stories. I have yet to get ich, most likely because of qt all new arivials and because i have taken extra precautions to keeping stress levels down (water changes, bioload, taking it slow). I think the biggest kicker for me is the thought of fish loss. Our ecosystem is so fragle and the less things we take out of the oceans the better. I know to many people who just keep buying new fish when they die because there is the mind set of "its only money." I am not saying that you by any means are one of these people, but i believe this is another factor in why i worry so much about these sort of things. The lfs here doesn't even treat its sick fish. He just lets them die and buys new ones and raises the prices on the next shipment. This drives me crazy. Anyways, please don't take any of this personly, i just wanted you to see why i worry so much.
