Both of these could easily have occurred before you got the Corie. In that case I would take the infected fish back and ask for an exchange. Also take a good water sample with and get your water tested just in case your testing is not accurate. 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.

I am thankful for prime, as it get s the chlorine and ammonia. well nobody else has got any problems yet, can't say if the patient is any better yet, will keep it posted. |
