Honostly whenever my fish get sick its kinda the end of the line. I can’t recall ever having a fish recover from anything bad. I lost my 16” pleco last summer after treating the tank and doing many water changes, I couldn’t do anything else. They are so touchy and so difficult to treat. I was mad because after this guy told me off that I used the wrong meds (which I didn’t) I posted back saying “I posted this as a lesson learned, saying that this is over and done with, I don’t need your help telling me how to treat my tank when I don’t have this issue anymore because I am not a moron and can read directions on medication.” I felt really attacked, and then after saying “this is posted as a lesson learned, as in …past tense” the guy responded saying “what did you get rid of , the ich or fin rot” some dirt ball posted saying that it’s still in my tank! Ughhh I am so insulted!!! My fish is as good as new, he is mad at me as usual, flaring his gills at me and attempting to bite me through that glass, which is normal for him. He’s one angry oscar! I don’t know I think I am so insulted because I have been reading fish aquarium manuals since elementary school and my grandma taught me so much, she had over 20 tanks in her house and used to breed eels…like…I’m not fish stupid. I can read, and I have plenty of access to people who know more than me. It was like those “Oh it can never happen to me” deals. Like ohhhh I’ll never get in a car crash, don’t worry about me. Well…same thing with my fish. Sure, feeder goldfish carry lots of disease and parasites because of how they are housed and treated. Hardly anyone takes good care of fish worth 10 cents. The store I go to does though and they argued with me hard that I couldn’t have gotten the parasite from them. Well who knows. I just won’t feed him them and I have a entire package of some dead type of fish in the freezer that cost me 20 bucks that I havent even opened and I got it in december. I could have avoided this entire mess if I used those instead!
