I found the sick clown loach pictured above dead this morning.. I guess this was pretty much inevitable. The only other casualty since the white spot appeared has been a sword tail, but it was acting strange since i got it along with the new clown loach last week. It didn't have any white spots eith...

Thanks. I assume I should put the medication in the new water too? The instructions on the medication are a little confusing.

The tank's been set up for about 2 months, and I used the substrate and some water from a 6 month old ta...

sick loach

Hi, I've had this loach for about a month and it seems to be getting skinnier. It swims around and eats, but it's dorsal fin never sticks up, and it just seems to look sick somehow. Should i just kill it, and if so, should i do something to my tank so other fish don't get sick? (no other fish seem t...
