From the start of this year, I realised it has been quite busy juggling school work, my own life and taking care of my fish tank. However, I simply do not have time for cleaning and maintenance of the fish tank and it is not turning out the way I initially wanted it to. Even after 4 years, I...

Oh I actually have 6. It’s just that this o me seems much paler than the others

Um actually I had separated the gourami when I gave it the salt bath. Could I just buy the medication as a precaution? Would constant salt baths be okay for the fish? Thanks in advance.
