Ingrid (aka Dr. Solo ) has been known to throw out some bizarre crap
and try and pass it off as knowledge, when all it s is bona fide crap.
Don;t pay her any attention. Nonone else does. Wait for a reply by
Reel McKoi if you need an answer........and a correct answer or elsae

not a large influx of wanna be fish gurus like Solo.....but there is
folks that keep idiots lilke Solo in check! Ever wonder why she does
not post there isf she knows what she cxlaims to know afterall her
knoweledge would be welcomed if that was the case.....

I don't understand the connection with what I wrote. How would a
quarantine have prevented the small fish from eating the fins of the
larger??

you need to check your water parameters. nitrates are probably way high.

Again, I'm missing the connection. Are you saying that high nitrates
stimulate fin eating??? That's amazing. But I'm probably
misunderstanding
you somewhere.
