if your pro you would buy the fish and health them yourself haha thats what i do to ill fish depending on what kinda fish and if its worth it

 

[jason23erb]

haha yea but is it worth possibly infecting your whole tank with ich id rather buy healthy fish and i didnt think having oscars was worth treating if it was something cool tsc or rtc or anything like that it would b worth putting in the effort to have but something common as an oscar i want to buy healthy

You won't infect your whole tank if you quarantine the ill fish for a few weeks while it gets better.

Wlamart is getting them so cheap they do not care whether they live or die. Speaking of Oscars at walmart they have some of the nicest ones around.

depends on the walmart. one of my oscars came from them and is by far the prettiest. so sick of these threads. a lot of lfs have ich infestations too. should we not buy them from there too?

Both my local Walmarts have healthier fish than the local Petsmart's or Petco's. It depends on the store. Petsmart gave my tank Ich, Walmart never once has.
