Why do some fish keepers constantly battle illness? What if all they're treating are "symptoms?" Let's talk about "predisposition" and handling the SOURCE of the problem.
I'm always learning, always evolving in the hobby and here I share some tips that might help. Some I've learned the hard (expensive) way and some through research at sites like www.cichlid-forum.com or at Facebook pages like: "Tank Talk," (John Hudson & KGTropicals on YouTube), "Cichlid Insanity," "IFG," (Eaven Alexander) and others I trust like Jay Wilson (Jay NorthfinUSA Wilson on Facebook), etc.
If you have a question, please ask in the comments below or come on over to the Facebook group page, "Ben O'Cichlid"
