Hello! Thank you for your time in reading my post. I have tried to answer all the questions and then I posed some of my own at the bottom of the post. I've also attached a photo of the sick Molly 1~What type of fish is afflicted? In addition, please describe what is wrong with the fish to the...

Cool! Thanks for your suggestions! I've never had any shrimp before. That kribensis is beautiful!

Thanks for your suggestions! I like the idea of adding another species of schooling fish!

Lol! Yes these fish are too often used as decorations instead of being treated as living creatures. Here is my Betta in his 10G tank. :)

This is what my set up looks like (old photo, there is a lot more algae on decorations now)

Whoops someone posted this pic already

Blob fish

Hello I have a 46 gallon freshwater tank with artificial plants. It is a heated tank with a HOB filter (Marineland Penguin 350). Current occupants are one bristlenose pleco and 9 zebra danios. We used to have some dwarf gouramis as well but they were sickly and never lasted very long. I am...

Thanks Delapool, Carrie1, and drm315!

Now just one left. Don't see Ich spots but just looks fuzzy and ragged fins. Sits on bottom, trouble staying upright. Did eat earlier today but I am considering euthanasia with ice water, especially if refuses to eat.

Marineland Ick Remedy doesn't give the concentration of ingredients on the bottle or website as far as I can see. I treated for 6 consecutive days so far (daily vacuuming gravel and 25% partial water change, then adding 5ml medication for the 10G tank) and the white spots didn't improve so far...
