I had a quick question

Hi again. I had a question about Rex. So I just got his ip medicine today (metronidazole) and I fed it to him by soaking shrimp in it, and threw two measures directly in the water just incase. When I came home earlier I found him resting on the sand and having a black belly and was wondering if this...

Re: my gsp Rex in his new tank

I used a anti-bacterial fish medication Furan-2 made by API. Is that the same or no? and if not what meds should i use?

Re: Hi I am new

Hey so I had a few questions. I have just moved him into a 20 g long tank and was wondering how long he will be able to comfortably live in there? He has no one else in the tank and I am running a filter that is meant for a 30 g tank. Also he is around >1.5inches currently. Thanks for your help!
