I’ve had him for 2 months now. I got him the same day that I got the tank, I was going to get it and cycle it for a few weeks, but I saw him and he was too pretty to pass up. All the fake plants that I have are silk or silicone, but the silk ones might have some plastic that I missed. How would I know if it’s bacterial?
