[GSAS-Member] African Gourami

["SUSAN WELENOFSKY" <welenofsky@comcast.net>]

Hi Mark:

Sorry to hear about your loss, but I was referring to computer viruses since
we were on that subject, lol. 

I am however quarantining my Microctenopoma angsorgii African Bush Fish
which I finally found after four years. I hope to breed this hard-to-find
fish, and it will be a new experience for me since they are bubble nest
builders.

Susan

Tell me about it. I just had something similar happen very recently... 
some kind of crud came in with new fish, and within a couple of days it 
had killed my two favorite fish (ropefish). Whatever it was, it was 
fast, and it only got the normally very hardy ropefish.

Ich also popped up at that time, so I had to crank up the heat and add 
salt. Tropical fish tolerate that treatment pretty well, but I still 
lost a female opaline gourami and a clown loach. The last time that 
happened, the casualty was a sole bamboo shrimp. There's no cure that 
doesn't kill just a little...

If I were smart, I would spend some money and effort on a q-tank. But 
when you stay lucky year after year you get lazy.

There is always something new to learn in this hobby.
