No worries, I know you didn't intend for me to have those flashbacks. I'm for sure, very, very glad it's over!

Cichilds can be very rewarding to own. But they're territorial. That's why Dwarf Cichlids are around!

Not a problem.

The most common is actually fungal fin rot, and while it hits hard and fast, is easily cured.

Bacterial gets resistant to antibiotics really quickly.
They best way I've found to knock it out is to put the fish in a hospital tank that you can raise the temperature in, use freshwater salt, and try an antibiotic like (oxy)tetracycline first since they're most effective, and if that fails, a different medicine.
Understood. Bacterial diseases can be tricky to deal with.

By the time I got back, there wasn't much to be done.

That is my FAVORITE betta site- and the members have always been happy to return my emails. Let me know if you have any questions, I've had them for several years now.

I LOVE my psych classes.

And yeah, the big oscars and other giant cichlids scare the crap out of me. I love the teeny yellow ones.
