Funny you said that cuz I actually had an argument about that on planet catfish....they swore minimum tank requirements for an O is 8 ft.

Whatever ;).

I'm sure people are well intentioned but it's to a point where the tank police are really turning off people to otherwise useful sites.

Rough, I'm having a hard time as well. Tried to move other fish noticed parasite on one, one looks like his skin is falling off. No dead fish yet. So that's good. But they aren't looking good

Tetra Safe Start is good stuff. I cycled a new tank with it because LFS guy SWORE by it. I gotta say, it worked great. Dumped the stuff in the water one time, didn't do any WCs, all the fish lived. Never saw any nitrites, ammonia stayed around .25-.50 ppm, 3 weeks later started getting Nitrate readings. I was pleasantly surprised at how well it worked. I thought sure I got scammed out of $20.

I had a parasite on my aro approx. A month or so ago, used prazi once it was gone 2 days later. Now my clown knife has the same parasite on it, treated it last week, still there. Second dose yesterday still on it... added salt to all my tanks. Temps at 82° .....no quarantine tank
