What other fish are in the tank with these guys? Before you criticize someone walk a mile in their shoes. That way you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Try and find a bottle of fungus remedy that gives you instructions on how to use it. Good luck Stu Last edited by Lindy at 12-Feb-2005 03:17 Before you criticize someone walk a mile in their shoes.
