    How's it going with these guys now? Don't give up man. If it were me I'd try to get more. Never had any health issues with fish from Greg.

    You can talk to all the medical companies you want, they're legally bound to tell you the same thing to keep you from putting things in your mouth that you shouldn't. In practice, with FISH, you can mix and match these meds. I've done it, so have several members on this forum. Or maybe my fish are zombies now, because they look like they're swimming but then again they must be dead by now from me treating them with meds like that.
    I have found that taking hyper dominant males/females out of the tank for a while and in with another colony evens the playing field in the end. Reason being is that the one(s) left in the tank have more energy and can deal with any of the added stress at that point when adding another fish to "their" tank. And also much more confidence when the hyper dominant male(s) are added back in and it tends to calm the overall energy down in the tank. Obviously there will need to be some ranking establishment once again. This is from my experience and I've done it numerous times with success... OP, Take it for what it's worth. Also Sunny that's funny. Zombies. (that could be a while other topic done from studies on humans.. Zooombie) no I don't think that your fish are zombies. I'm merely saying that one med can cancel out another disabling it's ability to heal. Not that it would necessarily hurt the fish. I would think the previous before the later. I know that your keep your fish tip top. So no worries there... AC

    Your Petros might be messing with the Trophs. Have you bert-stared the tank to see who's doing what and to whom?

    This might help, but given that Johnny's colony numbers are dwindling... what more to do?
