I didn't know some tweezers wouldn't open up wide enough, and I'm having trouble imagining them. Got a brand name? I wanna check this out so I can wrap my head around it. -
Yes to the first question. No to the second. You grasp the algae, or whatever, between the tubing that is slipped over the tips of the tweezer. I hope that makes sense, I'll continue to clarify if you ask 🙂 @Ninjomasorry, I should have quoted you

I just invented the solution to this problem. It's sheer brilliance! It works extremely well at gripping hair algea and removing it from plants. It's that super soft air tubing slipped over the tips of my tweezers. The grip is strong. You're welcome, internet. Now take this knowledge and fly! Spread it to all!

This morning I found what was left of the dead shrimp. Only his meaty tail remained 🍤, and there was one shrimp trying to finish off the tail fin when I pulled it out. I've had a few other neos die and they never got eaten. I guess they were diseased and the others could sense it somehow. Crazy. I assume this one was healthy and died from stuck-in-sponge trauma.

Well, the expel-P regimen was devastating. I have 3 big girls left and I lost some java ferns. I'm just curious. How well do y'all figure this treatment works? Like, what are the chances I didn't get rid of all the parasites? I'm asking because I think I want to just go ahead and get the goldfish I've always wanted.

Yesterday, I found a blue neo stuck in my coarse pre-filter sponge. I had to tug pretty hard to get him out, but he swam off. This am there is a dead shrimp and all the other neos are feeding on him! Do I need to feed my shrimps some meat?

For the store. I want an all black sponge filter with an opaque black riser tube. There are none out there. I modified a sponge filter to get the all black aesthetic, but now the air stone needs to be replaced and I can't find one to fit, even the ACO ziss airhead is slightly too tall. So frustrating!

How long does it take for a nitrogen deficiency to manifest? I'm dosing my tank with expel-P which also requires lights-out for 24 hours. I've done 2 treatments 8 days apart and my 3rd treatment is scheduled in 2 days. I've also lost 2/3 of my nitrogen producing guppies, and I've done 2 extra WCs (before treatment WCs were performed once a week, I've done 2 WCs per week since treatment.) My java ferns were fine before the treatment, but now they are dying. The leaves are quickly rotting away.

@Colu I'm one day late dosing the 2nd course expel-P. Last week I dosed on Tuesday. This week I dosed today, Wednesday. Will this delay mess-up my treatment?
-
Thank you! One more question. Is it okay to do another WC before next week's dosing?
-
@Colu How long can the vectors stay alive without fish hosts? Can shrimp be a host? (My shrimp are fine right now, they seem to be doing great.)
-
@Colu Is it normal for things to get worse among my fishes after expel-P treatment?
-
@ColuI fed at 9am and dosed expelP at 9:30am, cst. Lights are unplugged, UV in canister is off, and I covered the tank with a blanket. After I WC with vacuum, do I turn the UV back on? Should I put carbon in the canister?

@Colu Hi, it's me again. Is there some kind of disease that affects snails and fish but not shrimp? I order 6 nerites online, received 8, and added them to my tank on March 7th. (4 king koopa, 3 horned, 1 olive) They were all alive and moving for a day or two before stopping. Today, they all smelled bad and I removed them. Also, I'm still seeing juvenile guppies wasting and not eating. My neocaridina and amano all seem to be doing well- no deaths that I know of. @nabokovfan87If my water is dirty, would the shrimp be dying too?
