What happens if u get crypto in dt even after quarintine?

While some of his info is good, he also as a number of "myths" such as stating FW dips are effective for Crypto. When it comes "treatments" that claimed "effective in mild infestations but not heavy infestations.", one needs to wonder if something else was the reason for apparent success. As for his "produce analysis, it's all from the manufacturers...

Crypt and treatments are actually very well scientifically studied due to it's importance to aquaculture. For fish diseases and treatments, the best single source of information is Dr. Noga's "Fish Disease: Diagnosis and Treatment". Lots of excellent information on fish disease, treatment, and an excellent Pharmacopeia section. Also it's complete with proper citations and references that can be looked up by anyone wanted to delve into something deeper. While it's a bit pricey, it's a great book for anyone serious about disease treatment, and IMO a must have for the professional fish keeper.

Well our fish diseases forum has some very knowledgeable folks who have had loads of experience and do not sell any products, hence having no conflict of interests. You might try that forum.

It's not always easy However, as snorvich mentions, the disease forum here is a good start. Some good sticky's to get you started with. Also take a look at who's doing the writing, if they are selling something they just might be biased Also after awhile on a forum, you tend to get a feel for who knows what they are talking about and who's talking out their ....

Sorry to hear about your fish. It's a real bummer to loose any of our pets.

Thank you for being honest and admitting the fish weren't cured or treated. Says a lot. A hard lesson but a lesson learned none the less. Keep on reefing.


Stay dry and the best of luck to you in the future.:beer:
