Active ingredients are: praziquantel;[[(4-Chlorophenyl)amino]carbon 1]-2,
6-difluorobenzamide; metronidazole; arciflavine.

It says that it can be used two times in 48 hours with a 25% water change.

The mbu is burrowing in the sand.

All right I purchased a med made by Jungle which says it will take care of all internal parasites so I hope it does.

For how long should I use the meds?

So if I treat the Mbu for parasites, even if he doesn't have any, he will only get better or won't be effected, right?

Update

I'm very scared for my Mbu since he seems to be getting skinnier everyday. I feed him 5 peices of krill one time a day and today I noticed that he is extra skinny like his bones are skin tight ang his stomach is concave :( Does he have internal worms? Is this a common affliction in Mbu's? I know tha...

Well I got 2 specimens of Hornwort the other day and they seem to be doing quite well. Is this a good plant for the job?

Thanks

I do half water changes every other day and partial water changes almost everyday due to the feces. I'm using up a lot of water and my bill is up and past 1500 a month. It is my intention to roll the waterchanges back to every other day since the plants need the nitrates to survive. Is this okay? Th...

Then I guess I'll put the floating type plants such as watersprite and duckwead. Does Petco carry these plants? I know a good nursery I need to go to. Does anyone think that they would have these plants and pond snails available? They always have bullfrog tadpoles swiming in all of their ponds and a...

What if I get Anubias and floating water sprite to clear the tank of nitrates. I have a 10k bulb that seems pretty strong for the 60g. Anything else? I don't want to add a layer of fertilizer underneath the sand so if Anubias needs that then no way.

Thank You

I've read that Mbu puffs will tear plants to shreads? If this isn't correct than problem solved.

Also is it the same with Fahaka's?

I just went on the site and found out that the model I have is the Bak Pak protein skimmer/biofilter. I guess I'll just build my own refugium. How about this. The tank is located right next to a window wich leads to a balcony. Maybe I can set up a couple 55g rubbermaid bins stacked over each other f...

The model is CYHO

Also the return line is just a waterfall. Is this all right?

This seems kind of risky to connect the pump to the intake without a ball valve or something because how do I control the flow if the pump is to strong.

Currently I do water changes every other day. I just found out that I have that model that you were explaining made by CPR. How do I get this started? I'm thinking of connecting the intake to a pump inside the aquarium and so the water will go through all the plants and back into the aquarium by ove...

I have two tanks I want to use this type of filtration on. One is a 240g and the other is a 60g. They both are placed very close to windows and so get a lot of sun. I already have a hob sump but it is only like 16"x 6"x 4". I plan to fill it up with watersprite. Will it take care of t...
