Why am I not surprised my two links cannot be found ?? ;D ;D ;D Perhaps since that discussion was being carried on on 3 different forums, they were posted there, like JQ's or Jedd's, maybe it was on DIP. Oh well...
I can say though that your expert on the subject stated he knew of no reports, which isn't the same as there are no reports. I posted two somwhere. He also made a supposition, which is just that - a suppose so.
David,
Why asked me the name of the people involved? You read who was feeding me the information. You'll need to ask him, I suppose. You mentioned the word "famous" in describing the university where the study is taking place. I never said famous. I said major university when the test was first mentioned on Jedd's.
Whirling disease was one of the diseases linked to the worms being studied in this test. But, it was only a scientist conducting the experiment.
==========================================
It's obvious that no one's mind had been changed, and a tankful of sick discus will not even convince a believer the cbw's "might" even be the cause, so why continue.
I find it interesting though, that members of the AKA have had the same exact problems discus people have had feeding cbw's. The Apistogramma breeders have had the same, and now the betta people have stated the same. Yet some continue to shake their heads saying no way.
I also find it interesting that these same people breeding apistogrammas, bettas, and killies have well established national organations that have been existance for along time, a feat that discus people have been unable to do. Why? As it was stated a couple years ago - egoes. Discus people are always right.
These other organazations are comprised of many smart, dedicated people and to dismiss their observations, as well as some of the members in the discus community, especially some of the big names is about as closed minded as anyone can get.
