Satanoperca Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Hi, Given the cost of peppermints and the anguish of seeing your fish potential die I would immediately invest in a UV sterilizer. It may not elimate the problem but will at least rule out many diseases an problems associated with a closed eco system. After 10 years of fish keeping, I only recently have installed UV sterilizers and the results seem to be healthy and hungary fish. What have you got to loose spend $100, only a couple of $100 dollars worth of fish. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
