I had a Neon Tetra that looked like it was hunchbacked - it died. So I just got the Tetra treatment to make sure there is no disease spreading in the tank. I have a Black Mollie in there with a few Ghost Shrimp, they are fine right now. I just wanted to use the treatment so the others dont get...

Thanks :thanks: Ive searched and cannot find an exact answer.

Instructions say to remove filter carbon. I have a Penguin 100 Filter with a Bio Wheel, is the blue filter or Bio Wheel considered a carbon filter ? The treatment can last up to 5 days, so is it ok to run the filter without the filter cartridge for 5 days ? Also do you just place a tablet...

Thanks for the replies. Yeah I cant find any info or images that look like what I have. They look like dandruff. I have not touched them, I have no idea what it is, so dont want to catch anything :lol: It cant be food or waste, there is too much of it - it is scattered all through out the tank...
