Hi everyone, I have a case of ich in my tank. Just wondering what the best treatment for it would be. I have melafix and Pimafix, but I’m wondering if those are strong enough. I’m also nervous about killing off my beneficial bacteria because I don’t want to have to cycle my tank again. Also...

Hello, I’m worried about my black mustard betta. I might be paranoid but I just want to make sure that’s he’s ok. I’ve noticed some of his scales are a little bruised up and on top of his eyes, there’s like a white clear dot. I got rid of the plastic plant that might have caused damaged. I’ve...
