So I am in the process of setting up a qt tank but with black Friday sales I did a big mistake which I'm now paying for, I went to a lfs that isn't the one I normally go to but has higher ratings than the one I frequently visit, I bought 1 herbertaxelrodi rainbow, 2 crimson spotted rainbows, 2...

Loaches didn't make it in so close to just giving up, I understand fish die but I did everything I was told to do and they just didn't pull though, I know that loaches are pretty hard to treat when they do they get infected, but seeing the 3 of them grouped up dead just crushed me like they knew...

Better pic, poor guy

I was dosing at 1/2 dose with the rid ich, the ich is going away on the tetras but the clowns are much harder to cure it, I also ran into a problem today, which I found a white fuzz ball thing on my loaches nose like a fungus or a secondary infection, I'm so ready to just pull My hair out, ill...

What signs do I look for when looking for permanent damage that might have been done to the loaches from the rid ich as I've read some can handle it some cannot and the ones that cant sometimes get permanent damage.

I had to stop the rid ich because my loaches were on their death bed 2 hours after adding it I literally gently picked them up with my hand they didn't even move, but I'm sticking to the heat method. Might melt my plants but they are replaceable And just gives me incentive to rescape if you...

So what can I do differently, was thinking about a power head instead of the air stones, or maybe a third air stone, I can't leave the lights on because that's when ich thrives so I've read, the last fish in are the Dwarf neon rainbows and the female is the only one left (male got ate) and she...
