Originally Posted by Cranberry Albeit, this conversation has gotten away from the original post. But I feel this has turned into a worthwhile discussion. Does anyone have access to online journal searches? I hate it when all I can get are abstracts and the subscriptions are just to pricey for...

Originally Posted by Salt Life I'm just saying in general and to the OP,you and locoyo are having a discusion, not an arguement. I just think this kinda crap is ridiculous in the first place because the OP always disapears and the rest of us are biting eachothers heads off. I actually thanks...

Originally Posted by florida joe Yes ick is fatal to our fish by multiplying to such great numbers that they impact the gills or cause secondary infections. They also tax the immune system so the fish is susceptible to other illnesses Exactly Most LFS run copper or UV BUT this is only going to...

Originally Posted by Cranberry If they are going to mutate and become resistant to treatment, it would be because of the constant exposure to copper...not hypo. The first time they are exposed to "true" hypo conditions is in our tanks. Around here, at most places, they sit in copper at the...

Originally Posted by florida joe To brake the ick cycle one needs to employ a six-week time frame of treatment LFS and distributors profit is predicated on turn over they do not hold fish for six weeks Hypo is only as effective as the person is diligent in his maintaining the proper salinity...

Originally Posted by Beth There is nothing new about resistant strains of ich (or any pathogen for that matter). Yes, inappropriate treatment does result in the parasite becoming resistant to the treatment. Its this reason that doctors will insist that you take a full course of antibiotics...

Hi there, It sounded to me that some comments made fun at the idea that Cryptocaryon Irritant can mutate. As to the comments that it sounded like a commercial, well where is the product. If I ever see a commercial that it does not show or name, either directly or indirectly, the product I think...

Originally Posted by florida joe Wait I just had an epiphany on the ick cure. Wash it off and kiss it up to god within 5 seconds I hope we all are not as ignorant or as arrogant as our counter parts.

Hi there, Why is it hard to believe that parasites can mutate (adapt). After all viruses, bacteria and all life forms adapt to almost everything. Why not Ich.? What do you all know about Ich (compsition, biological, genic makeup) that keeps it from adapting to new enviroments, and treatments...
