no every day until you leave for your vaca...20% isnt that much ..and I really feel this tank needs a break from meds and just some natural things done..use your amquel+ and 20% then a nice big water change before vaca in 2 weeks...you had ammonia readings with these fish a few weeks ago..that might be what your seeing on your lil man and not fungus....you saw no other signs of illness on the fish that have passed..I would once again, give this tank a break and just do the water changes every day for 2 weeks before you leave...thats just my opinion tho and of course its your tank and you need to do as you feel

The Amquel+ is a good product, but StressCoat contains Aloe Vera which is good for the fishes slime coat. You could use both if you have elevated ammonia or nitrite levels. If your levels are zero you could use just the StressCoat.

I can't really give a recommendation on the meds since I've never used either product, but I have heard good things about Jungle Products. If I'm not mistaken, Pimafix contains clove oil and shouldn't be used if you have gourami's or a betta in the tank.
