Hi everyone, I have Jungle and Italian Vallisnaria in my natural/Walstad tank. It's been doing fine. In the last 2 weeks, I had to treat my tank with meds for possible columnaris. I have a clown pleco with a white patch on his back. I treated with kanaplex and Furan 2. Yesterday, I realized...

Hi everyone, I have a sick juvenile salmon red rainbowfish in a 600L planted tank with lots of driftwood and good hiding spots! I just tried for ages with a large and small net but no luck, she hides at the back of the driftwood. Can't catch her when feeding, she's too fast. Any ideas? She...
