that's just the problem though. some people WILL listen to the personal experiences of single individuals. if bv found smaller swings in his own tank, fine, but that doesnt make it a rule of thumb. let alone something one should be posting as advice. i backed up my own particular claim with reasoning. unless you have something solid to refute it, i dont see why this thread should progress any further into the realm of "those threads."

Im putting my frank honest opinion out there. if you dont like it, fine. i wont apologize. nor do i mean to belittle anyone. and i dont claim to know everything. far from it, im a self confessed noob. i know that. however, if someone is going to offer up advice based on nearly nothing at all (not research at the least), im going to call it out. not because i can or because it makes me feel more important, but because other people looking for advice are reading this and i feel that the correct information should be given, especially on such basic aquarium related concepts.

fin: have you thought about what you would like to replace the fu man chu with as far as stocking goes? i bring it up because fuzzies arent the most common of all fish and finding a pre-weaned one can be... difficult. if you are forced to wean one yourself (and i agree that this is something to be avoided if at all possible) you will want the lion to be the only fish in the tank. tank mates will only complicate the process.

ok but understand that theres not one strand of advice in that thread, just what happened in my tank, didn't mention absolutely nothing for him to do, which you'll quickly notice by reading through it thoroughly with that in mind i hope you understand what i'm trying to get at

when i saw that i took it as a presentation of advice. and I havent yet met anyone who has told me the same. i dont really have a strict definition for advice btw. but perhaps it was just a misunderstanding.

[bv_reefer]

well thats true, i thought that would be be more representative of an observation, but nevertheless a misunderstanding
