Can you post a photo, it might help us detect whats causing the problem.

Also tell us more about the tank filtration, weater changes percentages and how often, also what is in tank fish etc. *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

As per the LFS I have to use melafix and primafix at the same time. so far they are back on track making noise like they do. my tank is 200L, filter by eheim 2213, looking to a bigger home for the clowns. Right now they are approx 4 cm. I have 6 clowns in there, 3 polka dot loach - botia kubotai. should i stop using the meds or continue for another week?

Just give it a little longer with low doses.
