She's a wonderful person.

Just wonder how you give a fish antibiotics when they're not eating?

I've had to do it a couple of times in my aquarium. They also absorb it through their skin.

I know so little about fish.

I like seeing those big, relatively big ones which are decorated with lots of objects that have nooks and crannies for the fish to swim into.

It's pretty low maintenance and the cats love it. It's their "tv." I have platies, a dwarf gourami and dwarf aquatic frogs.
