No problem Sambi. It's just hard to get TRUE information out there. There are soooooooo many sources of false information that it's not even funny.
Here's a funny example. Yesterday, I was reading the FAMA ( Fresh And Marine Aquarium) magazine. There was an article about algae. They were saying that BGA ( Blue Green Algae or cyanobacter ) is NOT a bacteria but you could destroy it with penicillin!
It's a well known fact that BGA is NOT an algae but a bacteria, yet they say that it is not. But they tell you it can be killed by penicillin, an antibiotic. It's a well known fact that antibiotics kill.... you guessed it, BACTERIA! DUH! If that was not enough, cyanobacter is a gram NEGATIVE bacteria and therefore, should be treated with a gram negative antibiotic. Penicillin is gram POSITIVE!
Just goes to show that even a specialized magazine such as FAMA is not always a "guaranteed" reliable source of information. Needless to say that I will not buy FAMA magazine anymore.
Kind regards,
Sponge
