  1. If it's a mild fungus, you can just let the maracyn and ich x soak, just dosing once for a week.

     

    Otherwise you can treat with maracyn and ich x each day and water change and redose. If you look at the direction on Erythromycin, which is the same active ingredient and dosage, it says to change water daily.

    Treats Bacterial Infections Plant Safe Invertebrate Safe We now prefer using Maracyn as it's the same active ingredient(erythromycin). The price of API Erythromycin keeps going up multiple times a year. Maracyn has remained...

     

  2. We have had 5 star and other loyalty programs in the past. They just caused headaches. People would different logins, want to combine points, trade points, use them on different things. Customer service constantly helping them log into their accounts. You also run into problems with online vs in store purchases, outages with the system etc.

    Basically two years ago we came the realization that we can't offer great service and sell at a discount store wide. Our store is small and we can get packed in there, this is why we stopped taking cash as it slowed down checkout. Loyalty programs made the lines much slower.  We focus on, let's try to improve experience, products and knowledge to keep our customers in.

    The savings we have in store are:

    $100 get free frozen food.

    Buy 10 or more of the same fish and save 10%.

    Redeeming Easy Fertilizer Bundle and Med Trio bundle pricing in store.

  3. Do you have a picture of them? I don't know of a golden siamese algae eater. I know of Golden Chinese algae eaters which are very different fish.

    Golden Chinese algae eaters can be very territorial and get to like 10 inches. I'd use lots of caution with that pairing. 

  4. I think getting the ones you have now healthy is the right start before adding more. If you think about it logically, If you had 3 dogs who were sick, would you get 3 more, and quarantine them all to try and get 6 pets healthy? That's just harder than getting the initial 3 healthy, then doing it again later, if something goes wrong you have more time to dedicate to it.

    As for adding more fish, make sure you are aware that the fish you have now will already be quite the load for a 40 gallon pond. Adding more will require more work. 

    You could remove all the plants and use salt at 1 tablespoon per gallon to treat any external bacterial and fungal infections. Then change water and do the trio. Or you can just wait for meds to arrive.
