Or you could only treat with the Ich-X.

Would that work against the fin rot? I read that's caused by bacteria.

I honestly think thats an IF it comes.

So far everything is on track, it's been shipped. Also we've ordered other things from Amazon in the past week and everything has arrived when they said it would.

It can also be caused by fungus.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fin_rotAlthough it's possible for there to be a concomitant bacterial infection in a fish with fungus, and the Ich-X would likely only have an effect on the fungus.

Okay, I'm not sure what to think now. If I do Ich-x, then it will have an effect on the fungus, and only possibly on the fin rot (if it's caused by the fungus). I could do this for two days, then switch to my other medication, or I could continue doing ich-x and hope there is no bacteria involved. Or, I could wait till my other medications arrive and not treat with ich-x at all.

6 of one and half a dozen of another. LOL
When is your meds due ?

If they are close to dying I would start now. In 2 days you should be able to tell if its working and no need to even start the new meds BUT if they are hanging in and you really rather use the melifix then wait for it.

I know right? Friday, day after tomorrow. My dad said "Well do everything suggested simultaneously, and whoever survives is obviously a super-guppy and you should raise your prices." I don't want to do that (for obvious reasons).

Okay then, I'll start on the Ich-x. I've already lost quite a few including all of the new fish I bought 2 weeks or so ago. (No wonder they were the first ones to go). So I think that would qualify as 'close to dying' for the rest.

Unfortunately I didn’t get to it today. but the birds seem to be settling into their new home

And those look great!! I love the stone idea too!! Means less digging LOL and looks great too

Love the stock tank idea too!! I have one but it’s a different brand and smaller. 110 gallons. I’m hoping it might still work though. Thinking of springing for the 300 gallon stock tank but idk. I have this one and another preformed hard pond liner so feel like I should use them. Not sure what size the liner is but it’s a weird shape and different depths.

My biggest thing too, besides being distracted by the birds, is I need to decide where to put it. My mom is being particular and she also wants a waterfall which I’m not really sure how to do.

Might end up just setting it up on the deck for now.
