We never had a problem on the other aquarium groups until you came along and
trashed our groups. Why is that Tristan? Why trash several other groups and
not this one? What's different about this group? Why do you feel the other
groups don't deserve peace but this one does? Tell us why you troll the
other groups and not this one.

Your way of thinking is also how I view it. Seems some online web
based forums do not view it that way....After all thats the reasoning
used behind hyposalinity with SW fish to rid a fish of parasites etc,
introduce it to FW so organisms are killed off........Add salt to FW
so those organisms are killed off..on FW fish etc.....All I know is I
have never had problems with what I feed to who so I guess there is
no need to change or modify it.

Actually I always heard it the other way round - feed SW to FW and FW
to
SW....because the pathogens for SW cannot survive in FW and vice
versa...



So whats the difference when it comes to feeding brine shrimp or
krill or any other number of frozen foods that say Fresh or salt
water
fish on them. I often acclimate mollys or guppies to SW and feed
varous SW fish live foods. Last I read sw micro organisms do not
survive in FW anbd visa versa, so I am having a hard time reasoning
with the no to feed sw to fw etc etc.

See above....looks like we have heard the same thing....
