Thanks for the praise, I feel good doing this... There is absolutely no aggression in this tank, but I will keep an eye out. I plan to update on every milestone!
Battling a bad case of ich that popped up in only a day or two... Otherwise, slowly gaining muscle while eating like a pig! I'll post pics when I get this ich under control... It's real bad :/
He didn't make it. Raised the temp to 87, gave him a salt bath yesterday and early this morning, but the ich overtook him too rapidly in his emaciated condition... I was really starting to like him too.
Now all the other fish in the tank have ich, except for the dominant Oscar who torments everyone. Taking her out and treating the tank with a little extra aquarium salt. Is it safe to raise the temp any higher?
