Should I leave the fish in the hospital tank for four weeks? Confused... Also the 90g which is my only tank is heavily planted. There's less than 10% visible bottom. What is the gestation time for the eggs? If they hatch with no host will that do them in? Will they hatch without a host? There still ...

OK, got the goat goo.

I'd prefer not to have to vacuum. Would the marbles be sufficient?

No. The fish that are wasteing aren't eating at all by the time they show symptoms. So feeding isn't the answer. I'm hoping that at least this round of medication will wipe them out.

My Espei rasboras are usually vigorously swimming in the tank. Now a few are hanging in the slower current area and a couple have gone from nice an...

tough crowd!
