Yes, you can use them! I have some in my Wife's tank which is currently cycling, no water parameter issues

Hi, Any news?

Thanks man Pearl danios do look great! I still like the idea of the rams as a centrepiece and maybe the pearl danios with the rummynose and cardinals? They should all be compatible i believe, maybe add a few red cherry ?

I second this, do 25% water changes daily, this will help more than anything else

What are the water parameters? Did you follow the instructions on the bottle?

Hi, You received the tank in the beginning of June. Did you cycle it at all? Or are you using safe start right off the bat?

Update: So it has been a few days since i did the epsom salt bath, but no improvement thus far. Now i am at a crossroad - do i wait a week an do another salt bath or do i put the poor fishes down? Doesn't look like the fish is getting worse, but not better also.
