June 1, 200422 yr comment_18661 I've had a huge outbreak of these little fellows and I mean a HUGE outbreak, millions of them. I know how they got there but I don't know how to get rid of them. I had a minor outbreak a couple of months ago and they disappeared but now they've come back with avengence. They are starting to irritate the oscars a little so I need to get rid of them. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Report

October 23, 200421 yr comment_27659 From what I've heard they are near impossible to dispose of. I've got them in 3 tanks just discovered. They are the reason tanks here set up for breeding aren't working. Did you get them under control. Have you managed to destroy them completely? I have a microscope coming next week I hope to find something that will kill them & not plants. What effect are/were they having on your fishes?? Report
