My new loaches are about an inch from head to tail and started out very skin...

Thanks for getting back to me........ I guess my question was, do clowns go through a juvenile stage where they are more aggresive?

The suggested dosage would be 66 drops for my tank ( 1 drop per gallon), but I have been 1/2 dosing or a little more. My water conditions are excellent, I use a charcoal purified water system. I do 15% water changes weekly. I never had a disease in my 2 year old tank until I purchased new fish 3 wee...
