Recently ive been putting some work together on getting some decent disease information onto the fp profiles, but to help the uninitiated identify the problems visually were gonna need some examples. So if you have a manky infected fish languishing anywhere in your tanks,or seen one in your LFS , fluffy, lumpy, blanched out, peely, tattered,bloated, face hanging off, worms hanging out of its bum , take picture of it , and post it here. If its a good example , please post it onto the appropriate disease profile if and when they get passed. Ill be around to check for accuracy if needed, and no doubt others can help. It really will help many hundreds of peoples fish in the long run.plus it will really help in the hospital section because when people ask for help we can just give them a nice clicky link to look at all nice and homegrown on fp, and it saves all the day to day reiterations and inconsistant answers.. Itll be handy if someone wants to know something quickly but a meds guru isnt around too.

If its sick, dying, and generally nauseating to look at, I want it!

Good idea!

But "manky?" That word belongs in wish-ga's thread about words from your neck o' the woods.

So I assume it means diseased?

Manky. er right up there with gammy, minging ,and scuzzy
Basically to be a bit rank, slighly fausty, if not downright cruddy

Minging? Fausty? Cool! I'm learning British!

These words also should go in Wish-ga's thread, along with git.

Sorry........ didn't mean to make this into a "word" thread.
