    Hi Aquarium Co-Op! I'm SO nervous today to do my first-ever medical treatment for all of my beautiful fishes! Including an elephant nose, which they say they are rather delicate with medications! SO nervous! Planning on using the Aquarium Co-Op method...and will be spending the day setting up for the week-long quarantine in my planted 55 , gathering all my fish together for the event, 8 adult and countless fry guppies, 3 discus, 4 Ottos, 2 clown Plecos, and 5 corries...I hope nobody dies! I'll put in an airstone, all my fish and medicate all... because one of my 3 discus is not growing at all. after 2 months he's still the size of a half-dollar, while the other two grew to 3 inches. Hope he is able to grow after this and there are no casualties. leaving ceramic rings in the filter - any last words of support welcomed before I add the meds later today. So scared!
