The second lyretail is now dead after he jumped out of the small tank. The first
lyretail is still alive and I'm giving him some general medication. I'm not 
giving him much hope and attention as he cost only RM0.40 (~US$0.16)

>swimming fast and breathing on the surface most of the time. The first
The two round tail mollies (sp.?) are still alright. Bad choice for a break-in 
fish but I trust they will make a good algae eater as they are now pecking on 
everything in the tank. Also great at picking any food fallen to the bottom of 
the tank. I now add 4 Zebra Danios after reading recent discussion on new tank.

Do you guys think I still need to disinfect the tank?

I'm more confident of answers from plant people as answer from *.aquaria may be 
unsuitable for plant tank. Thank you.
