I'm so sorry...big hug.

Prayer 🙏 and well wishes

I guess I'm just shocked how quickly he went down hill from the time I could see something wrong with him. But reading about dwarf gourami iridovirus, it makes more sense. I will try having gouramis again when the time is right. I appreciate the list of ones to explore getting...it's very helpful. Thanks

Can that virus still be in the tank? Is that why I shouldn't add anymore gourami back in that tank?

I'm very sad to say big blue just couldn't fight anymore....he passed. 😞

Do I feed just big blue the medicated food or all the fish in the tank? I appreciate your help.

How do you mix it with the food? I've only treated ich direly in the water.

I think you are right. The swordtail caught me completely off guard.

I had put salt in the tank. The male swordtail kept nudging her ...very sad. I'm feeling worse now 😞

Update on my tank...I just lost my female swordtail. She didn't appear to be bloated but it appears like a danio is showing signs of bloating. Big blue seems worse too. ☹️

I will definitely order some to have on hand. If you try one med and it doesn't seem to help do you just put carbon in filter to remove it before trying a different med?

😂...you made me laugh. Behind was cute way to put it. I do have ich X on hand. Kanaplex...I'm not familiar with it. What do you use it for?

I ordered para cleanse and mardel maracyn ....I was planning to try the trio of meds suggested on co op on my quarantined fish. Do you quarantine new fish?

Thanks for your encouraging words and help. I feel foolish that I was unaware of meds to keep on hand for my fish friends. 🐟🐡🐌

Thank you for your input. He was purchased November/December from local chain pet store. He's special to me and I feel so bad for him. Is it hard to heal once they get internal infection?
