A disease Forum

How about a forum dedicated to diseases?

Hmmm...not so sure about that, if I had a sick cory for example I would like to talk to the people most likely to see the different ailments which inflict corys, so I would in that case go to the cory forum.

One thing I have noticed is each catfish family can have very different problems from each other (aside from the standard bad water condition and ich problems).

I see what you are saying but I think it would be better to collect all disease info in one place for faster more efficient searching.

I'd like to keep it simple, if you're keeping a fish and after husbandry info on it, then its the forum we already have. A sticky re common ailments of the group of fishes in question would resolve much of the issue with searching, but what's the big difference between searching 4 husbandry forums?

I agree it could be pulled together better, but a new forum won't fix it in my view.

A sticky would be good, probably a better solution, maybe in tank talk.

Mostly I say this because of the speed at which topics go off the home page and therefore out of mind or are missed by people that may have the information. They also get quite quickly bumped off the 1st page of the particular forum quite quickly.

Had a good long time to think about this, but decided not to add it.
