Just a reminder to try and save some newbies some major headaches. With spring and summer coming up soon, this is the time of the year when I normally start seeing alot fish with flukes that can spread to all fish in your tank and kill them. The flukes can normally be seen the easiest on the eyes of fish, and will look like a little hazy or milky patch on the eye. It may be a rather small spot or cover most of the eye, but can cause major problems either way. So if you are purchasing from a lfs then make sure and pay close attention to this, but you will still need to quarantine new fish (obviously fish purchased off the internet as well). Check out the stickies in the treatment and disease forum for info on how to quarantine fish if you are not sure.
