I am not for a moment suggesting we should not treat or medicate where required. It was the mental image of a bunch of aquarists running around with black bags to ensure they are prepared for any emergency. Fish aren't that fragile and keeping fish is not that hard. But it does require discipline. I am always amused at fish profiles that read "only suitable for experienced fishkeepers".

Gotcha! We normally see eye to eye on most things so no worries. We can have different opinions at times. Lol

Well once again thank you everyone for helping me, I can tell you one thing is that I learned way more than one thing today and yesterday, all of this knowledge will help me become a better aquarist. I am studying to get a degree in aquaculture also,

I am well aware of all of this,@Lilyann. I always look at parameters, is tank cycled, temps, food, etc before going on to attempt to help a member. We do our best, that is all we can do. I have years of experience as you do and my bff is an aquatic research analyst which helps me so much. I originally suggested clean water and salt but then after thinking more decided we needed to go with the Kanaplex and Furan. I am puzzled as to why you are questioning this as you too, eventually suggested the Kanaplex.

Ill keep my nose out of the health/illness section. Seems like its already covered by a resident crew. No worries.
Dint mean to ruffle your feathers.

I’ve learned a lot from both of you, it’s really cool to see both sides of the discussion, and I ordered the meds and they will be here by the 15th.

Well my break is over, I’ll update all of you after 830

... Only then do you go on to possible pathogens/secondary illnesses: parasitic, bacterial, viral. 9 times out of 10 they are the result and not the cause.

Well IMHO that's a contender for quote of the week

Keep up water changes until you get the meds.

Keep up water changes until you get the meds.

Okay I will, the meds come Thursday

Good at least it’s not like they won’t arrive for another 3 weeks. You will soon get your meds, and your fish will be better, until then, as @Deanasue said, keep up water changes and good luck!
