    Trigon 190 stocking ideas

    Rainbowfish dilemma

    Not bubbles, it’s like a sore. Just doesn’t seem to be bothering him at all, only noticeable difference is he can’t doesn’t use the fun much and it sticks out a bit. Haven’t got a hospital tank but might try the divider idea thanks

    Trigon 190 FOWLR

    Rainbowfish dilemma

    Thanks V227, will get some meds today- wasn't sure what else to try. The posturing confused me as he was kind of offering himself- it didn't seem defensive, more like he was inviting them...
