Angry Serpae Tetra

[Tizer]

I'm going to return them to the store. I woke up and 2 of my neon tetras had their tails nipped off!!!! My poor babies. My only balloon sailfin Molly is starting to show aggression as well. Sadly, he will be going back. I will only be adding NEON tetras, platies and guppies. I'm incredibly upset the LFS wrote "tropical community fish" as a label, as this is why I purchased them. This individual LFS gave my fish from other stores already in the tank ich! Now I have to treat that!!!! I'm so frustrated. I'm ready to give up being a fish owner

...and you think returning fish that could have ich is a good idea so they pass it onto fish in the store, they wont be happy with you......? Sounds like you are stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Of course I'm not going to do that. I'm new to owning fish, but I'm not an idiot

I never said you were, no need to get defensive, i just cant work out what your plans are. You mentioned ick, do all your fish have it or not? What are your plans for treating it? Sounds like your tank is going to be a battlezone while you medicate for it?

I apologize, I did not mean to sound defensive Ive set up a hospital tank for my infected fish. I bought a Tetra"All-in-One" treatment tab kit to get rid of the fungus, and then I'll bring them back to the store. Just removing them from my tank has added so much peace and stability to my fish
