I have QuICK cure, it contains Malachite green. It has a reccomendation on the label, specificaly for the tetras. The Ick (wait, I'm confused, is it ick or ich??) seems to be reducing a bit. I still see some on the top dorsal fins and a few of their sides. Right now they eat, swim and frolic...

thanks.. I just hate it when fish suddenly get sick.. it worries me sick the entire week wondering if they'll make.. let's hope they do :)

..to bad we don't have a petsmart over here.. I'll probably get it online.

Ok I have a 5 gal tank with 5 neons. 3 of them have come down with the visible simptons of Ich.. I REALLy don't them want to die! I have the 'Quick Cure' brand for Ich, has anyone used that before? They all are healthy, they eat, swim, and occasionally chase each other across the tank. Anything...

wow, that is small. sounds like a good option for my tank. the ghost shrimps that I've had in the past have always snatched the fry :(. but if the corys are peaceful, I'm definately looking into keeping them! :D

omgosh they're so cute!!!! wow, they are small. they eat fry, right? gosh, I really hope they have them at my Lfs... now I know why people are always saying that cories are awesome :)

Um.. I REALLY wouldn't recommend doing that to a guppy. (anyone have a different opinion?) yes, some of my females die when they give birth too, it's because of the stress. I don't like putting my females in the breeding traps because of that. I prefer putting her in a seperate tank and catch...

same here. lol

Yeppers, I made sure. But the mean neon (Sharkbait)'s top fin is partly black. Is that normal? I take back what I said about them all calming down, when it's feeding time the toughest neons with actually fight with each other for the food. I've seen Sharkbait pull all his food closer together so...

They've finally calmed down, now the little guy is starting to eat a little. :) Their fins are starting to get repaired, so it was the ammonia. I don't have a water test kit (I need it bad) but it's really expensive, $35 for the ammonia, nitrate, and nitrite. It's weird though, how could my neon...

Update: I fed them, they all got fast and furious to get the flake food, but when the little guy went to nibble on a peice, the biggest neon chased him away like crazy(I've dubbed him Sharkbait because he's the one with a bite mark on his tail) what should I do?

no, he doesn't compete with the others for food. I've not seen him eat when I feed them. Ok, I will do a water change. So far, do you think he's sick? His fins are torn.

One more thing, (the small one) swims around, but he'll swim close to the gravel, and he'll go behind the plants.

Yes, right now he's hiding behind the water filter.He gets chased by the some of the others. All the neons look normal. when I feed them, they eat a scrap of two, but they just leave it. There is one neon, that chases the others like crazy. What should I do?

One of my neons doesn't want to swim with the others. He's the smallest one and he goes to the middle of the tank and doesn't really tag along with the others. Also, there's one neon who's fin is broken. It's a circle shape, is that maybe a bite from another fish? They had the neons with some...
