The fish have seemingly been tolerating the Rid-Ich Plus fairly well, but one of my Cories has been acting a little off. I was startled to find him floating, belly up, at the top of the tank (and I...

    As opposed to buying new fish at petsmart or a generic pet store you should buy them at the aquarium store...they'll be better at not selling you contaminated fish.
