Hello, all,

After I found a male GBR dead against the filter intake this morning, I asked my husband what his plans were for his 20g tank. He refuses to keep up on regular cleaning and maintenance, and now I'm seeing the longfin black skirt tetras getting fin rot. There are 5 of those (one died a few weeks ago) and there's still a female GBR and 5 albino cories.

He told me flat out he won't have time this summer to care for the tank the way he should and that I could do with it what I'd like.

There's the rub.

I have no idea, or actually, I've got too many ideas!

I have plenty of room in my 55g to put the tetras, and I could put the cories in the 15g with all the other cories. I'm even thinking about converting the 20g to a Walstad setup.

Take a look at my signature to see what I have where, and feel free to suggest anything you like. I'm open to any and all (reasonable and not nasty) suggestions.

Fist things first treat the fish for the fin rot seeing as "hubby" can't be bothered
 
I just did about a 70% water change, and will do another one tomorrow. The remaining GBR is on her last legs, er, fins. Doesn't look good, but I'm trying to coax her to rally. Grrrr.
