more specifically, to modestas and kubotais? or are they roughly at the same level? i know dyed modestas are sometimes available, does this mean modestas aren't scaleless (i heard the dye stays long because it is injected underneath the scales)?

Hi libingboy,
I have noticed that the sensetivity to medications depends on the individual fish. My clowns are pretty indifferent to the addition to meds or even salt. However, I have a tiger, just one particular individual, that absolutely flipps out and gets bloddy fins at certain levels. There is also a yoyo of mine that is also sensetive to meds.
