    I've got yet another problem; one of my chromis has really big white spots around it body. It's definitely not ick; I'm thinking its a bacterialy infection. Suggestions anyone?

    Yeah I was thinking that too for a while. But should I really try to save it? It cost me $5 and I can just get another one, but I don't really want to be selfish about this little situation

    Ehh he ended up dying; the infection spread so much that he couldn't use one of his fins, and he just died a few days later
