Hi All - I have a general question about myco in rainbows. I'm setting up a
heavily-planted 180 gallon tank and would love to stock it with rainbows,
but I must admit to some degree of apprehension because of the recent
chatter about this deadly disease. In short, I'll have my hands in the tank
quite a bit for pruning so I don't want to be exposed to the disease myself,
and I don't want to invest considerable money in the fish if the scenario is
that if one gets it, the rest are likely to die. Also, the prospects of
having to tear the tank apart and bleach it after I've worked so hard to get
it into order are not welcome. Any thoughts? FWIW, I was considering
getting my fish from Terry (aquabid).
Thanks for your time and consideration.
Chris
