I would like to start a topic where people can share the 'breakthrough' moments when it all became that little bit clearer and you started to get the feeling 'no they arent going to die like the last few' or a frustrating situation that had a simple answer that seemed to come just in time...
Maybe it will give hope to people who like me felt like giving up after those first few fish died despite your best efforts.
My most important breakthrough was:
Realising that knowing and using the best medicine for each and every disease is not the best route to healthy fish, but that sensible routine maintenance and sensitivity to the fishes needs is.
Now I no longer hunt from shop to shop for the bottle that will fix them all, wishing they would just sell me SOMETHING to drop or pour in so I feel Im doing my best! but instead sit back for ten minitues to try and figure out the cause behind the disease and how best to make the aquarium healthy again.
