Hello forum! I have gotten good advice from here before and I hope to again. A few days ago my awesome rummynose I felt was lonely, I went to the store and bought a few more. The last time I did this many of them died because of them being schooling fish and they don't do well in transition. As a result, the two that I got died. The one that I tried to get companions for is still there. But the other ones I noticed had ich; the most I had ever seen on a fish. I didn't want to take them back to the store as that is more stressful. But I believe they gave ich to my other fish, I am seeing very small white flecks on many of them and they are not as aggressive eating as they usually are. I am trying API Super Ich Cure, the powder form, I have taken the carbon filter out and added a single package. I do not have the instructions but correct me if I am wrong I am to wait another 48 hours before another package and do a 20% water change?
The other thing I noticed some, albeit rarely, of the fish look like they have trouble swimming in general... its very brief and they can still get around the tank but a little slow. Is this dropsy? And how do I take care of it?
Also, do you think I should go back to the aquarium store and argue for my 7 dollars back for the rummynose fish that had ich and died; likely gave it to my other fish too...
