I just wanted to share a little story. a week and a half ago I moved all my community stock out of my 75 to a 55 and stocked the 75 with 2 severums and 2 heckelii. When I got them I asked the guy at my LFS who I trust 100% what he recommend for feeding. With out hesitation he grab the NLS Thera+A with Garlic and said use nothing else. Well thats the same advice I see from most of the members here that I consider to be experts.
Now here is what has me amazed. The community tank has 2 silver dollars that i got a year and a half ago at about the size of a dime. One is perfect looking the other started with fin rot about 3 months after I got them. I doubled my water changes then I moved him to a hospital tank and tried every suggestion any one could give me but his fins slowly continued to deteriorate. Well as of 2 weeks ago I was considering putting him down. No tail fin left no right swim fin left and only 2 small parts of his dorsil fin left. But no red streaking or sores and he acts happy. Well when I got the nls I started slowly stopping the omega 1 flakes and was giving the nls to them. Today I kinda started dropping pellets slowly in front of each fish and when the silver dollar came blasting over for the pellets I could not believe it. A 1/4 inch of his tail has grown back and the dorsel fin has started growing back also.
The other thing i have noticed is the color of my clown loaches is just incredible. So I will never use any thing else. Could this be coincidence I don't know but I'm a believer.
