Ive added it to food as most freshwater fish dont drink as its more a marine suppliment. Although with rays i just added it straight to the tank as they can drink.
hey BWB
Funny you should mention that stuff you just reminded me to get some more as I ran out a few weeks ago
Cheers
Funny little things happen like that lol. Garlic guard by seachem is also another good additive.

My lfs sells bloodworms that already have nutrients added to them, maybe yours does too. That might save you the effort of having to do it yourself?
Thanks Katty
I've never seen that in my LFS
Bollos staying fatter for longer so things are looking good

Bollo's getting stronger and can now swim a few inches off the floor. This morning he was so cute, I tapped on the tank to let him know food was coming and he skooted over to me and then was lifting his head up with his tail on the floor like a dog does when it jumps up at you he couldn't wait for the bloodworm to drop to the floor and was bobing up and down (as with all things that are to good to miss I never had a camera ready)
Here he is feeding seconds later

Thanks for your concern LGP
He can swim round fine now and is acting normal. I could put him back in the main tank but I'm going to carry on treating him for the rest of the week
Here's a quick vid of him using my rubbish camera phone

That's great! He's still so thin, but so much more active!

Great job! When I was watching him all I could think of was: zoom zoom zoom!
Poor little guy. At least he has the best care he can get, which I'm sure, definitely helps. Keep us updated!
