The just dump the food in and move on to the next tank. That's the way it
is in most stores. :(

I'm sure I saw something that treats internal fish parasites in one of my
catalogs from Foster and Smith.

I wouldn't separate these two. Can you possibly get them their own tank?
;-) Maybe check the Salvation Army or Goodwill stores? I've seen some
fantastic prices in these stores on tanks and stands.

This is a problem with aggressive fish. I'll be sticking to non-aggressives
from now on. The worst fish I have now is a gold male groumi and he's not
really all that bad. He only chases the female once in awhile. The store
offered to take him back for another female if he gets too nasty. I'm going
to add a blue female to that tank and call it full. All the new tetras are
doing fine so far. I need more rainwater.... I wish we'd get some rain.
