Aquarium Advice Obsessed
Two days ago I bought 6 harlequin rasboras and introduced them into my 10g. One died on the way home and another looked sick, so I moved my Betta. I found out they had columnaris. Since then the rest have passed (I actually euthanized the last couple). My Betta passed in the other tank (RIP Old Mate).
So, now I am left with an empty tank wondering how to sterilize it.
What are every body's suggestions on how to do this? They where in the tank not even 24 hours. I was thinking of a bleach dip for the plants and wood, boiling the sand, bleaching the tank/filter/heater and throwing out the media. Would that be enough to eradicate it? I have a whole bottle of pimafix (nasty stuff IMO) I'm dying to get rid of. Should I dump it into the tank?
Please help. I'm lost as to what to do next.
(I am in Australia and a lot of medications may not available)
