Nope, from what I understand it only affects anaerobic bacteria, unlike the very aerobic filter bacteria.
The cycle will be fine whether its added to the water or fed to the fish?
Phew! Thanks And the other medicine that's in API General Cure is safe for the cycle too?
Thank you! I just hope it doesn't hurt anyone, we're a little nervous about hurting anyone else.
Sadly, since the pygmy died recently, last night I noticed a pygmy with a deteriorating pectoral fin and some white fuzzy in that area. Ugh..... I don't mean to hijack this person's post, though, but posted because it pertains to what we are going to do soon!
Another question if anyone who knows the answer to this is still following... even though it won't hurt the bacteria, the medicine still recommends removing the filter.
Will the filter suck up medicine and make it less effective? It says to put in two treatments, 48 hrs apart, then do a 25% water change. should the filter be removed? :/
