Hi,

Bill and Ted are both fine :D happily swimming around and trying to eat everything in sight :shock:

After a lot of searching through posts here i am sure the little circles are bite marks poor thing.

Just one question, they both have chewed tails, will they grow back? It isn't bad just looks a bit frayed :(

Apart from that they are FANTASTIC!!!!!!!! :D

Congrats Pandora!

Their tails will grow back. Just some TLC will do the job, maybe some Melafix if I am not mistaken, will help in case they have those bites...correct me if I am wrong.

Cant wait to see Bill n Ted!

melafix won't arm your bacteria. it's a very good remedy, just follow the instructions properly, because even though it's herbal, you can still overdose it.

What do you mean overfeeding (hehehehe I had to get the prawn out lol)

Ok on the ich....

I will have to treat in the tank they are in, as the SG is at 1.004, should I just turn the temp up to 86? I read that in the Hospital forum is that right?
