LYNDYLOO Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Can you tell me why, all of your plants will die from you medicating your Tank?? What did you medicate with?? and what for?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel Posted May 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 I treated with wonder tonic for some sort of skin problem - I have twisting val that's already starting to die and other plants that won't survive it. But it's ok as I was getting bored with the tank anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel Posted May 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Not to worried about the plants, if some survive then great - I have more in my other planted tank so can take clippings from them I noticed afew weeks ago this white growth on one of my tiger barbs, silly me left him in the tank but it appeared to be getting better - but then afew days ago afew more fish got the same growths but with like peeling skin :-? but they do seem to be getting better - hopefully the meds will clear it all up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
