I'll have those for you in a bit! I added some Stress Zyme to the water a short while ago, so once it's cycled through a bit, I'll test the water.

Ok, so I've been observing my fish more, and I'm inclined to think it's columnaris. I noticed a fish acting strangely in the morning and when I saw him again in the afternoon (he had disappeared for a bit), he had a fuzzy white, mold like growth coming off of his face. I also noticed his fins...

I typically do a partial each weekend. I did a somewhat larger change this past weekend in the big tank. 2 more fry died overnight, and I've noticed something. I saw one of my fry swimming oddly last night. Sort of lethargic, not giving swimming much effort. It had all of its fins pressed to...
