I would love some help! I have a 10 gallon tank with 1 black molly, 1 red coral platy, and 2 dwarf Cory catfish.
I am a newer fish owner and noticed my black molly wasn’t doing so well. I had noticed long poos which now I believe may have been some parasites. Never white or clear, always colored so I still think it may just be from the colored flakes. However, I noticed some white spots on her and noticed she was not feeling well, laying on the bottom of the tank often and clinched fins. I did some research and believe she has ich or also called ick. I am treating my entire tank with Coppersafe. And am aware that my plants may die. But I would rather buy new plants then lose my fish.
I am worried the medication will suffocate my fish since I have a tight sealed glass lid to prevent evaporation. Will my fish be getting enough oxygen with the medication? Or should I take the hood off? Even for a few hours a day?
Please help, I do not want to lose any of my fish!
