buddhists who eat meat has a nice tradition.. Before you kill or cook meat, you give a little prayer/thanks to the animal you're to eat.

I do it.. But it's hard to give thanks to a slab of meat wrapped up in plastic.
I'm not going to deny it.. I enjoy meat & fish :)

Yeah, I was confused by the term 'BURN'... I guess Extreme PH 'burns' (0 degree or 10 degree) but with a variance with in 1 degree I'm not so sure of. I hear KH & GH, TDS does more to affect fish than PH since PH is intricately linked with KH & TDS.. Just curious and questioning standard thoughts. :)

UV breaks up molecules. So, it'll break up medicine making it ineffective.. However, it also breaks up DNA, ich DNA. I've found UV sterilizers work great against ich by itself.. Bump up your temperature up to the low 80's to speed up the ich life cycle and let the UV run for a few weeks. The ich sho...

looks like a herniation of some sort... I'm guessing it's a bacterial infection eating the body's lining. Treat it with antibiotics.

My barbs had something similar. I lost them though. If you see redness in the area and in the fins, that's another sign.
