well i dint know that you had to do research just in case if you bought a sick fish. i found it especially funny when she dumped the first corey back into the tank, after she saw that it was upside down. in the bag when he brought it back in. what do you mean by not flushing the dead fish because it will pollute the water? i have never heard of that. people do this all the time so does this mean that the whole city is going to get sick off the dead corey?

I think what was meant by polluting the water is that you will be putting other fish at risk of catching the disease and they may not have the same kind of resistance as tank-bred fish. However, it's porbably not a big worry as the massive temperature change and the death of the cory and the larger volume emans the risk of anything being passed on is far less - there's plenty of disease going round anyway.
