They're on meds again!

After getting those Dwarf Lettuce water plant but I got careless because I didn't do treatment on the pant. Now, those pesky ichs came back on my fish again. With no choice I had them quarantined and cleaned the tank again. Good thing I was able to buy this small aquarium as a hospital tank for most of the fish. Some who were not here I put them under the heat of the sun just to fasten the cycle of those parasites, cost me two fish I hope after five days they'd be parasite free, or I'm seriously going to buy a heater.

@Dextoi Stocks of fish? Well, this was just an hospital tank the main one is 13 length, 12 height, width is like 8 or something. how many fish I should have in that kind of tank? most of them were koi and four surviving mollys.

@Letranknight2015 That's in inches right? You should ditch the kois and keep the mollies... What about your filtration system?

It;'s hard to maintain an aquarium. My nephew has about 4 aquariums. He is so patient in cleaning and taking care of the fishes. So beautiful and calming to watch specially when one is so tired.

Hello @SIMPLYD You said it! I don't know but I've lost more than a dozen Fish because of a simple ich problem. Water changes were just time consuming but it was worth trying to save and keep them alive.

Back when I was young too i have two aquariums to manage as well. I love doing those things as well. Cleaning, feeding and seeing your fish grow healthy and strong are what makes me happy. I even was able to breed some goldfish though its a challenge to really care for them.

I always thought that taking care of fish would be a lot of work but have to admit that they are definitely soothing to watch. Hope they come through all of this!!!
