    Oh, that’s why I got kicked out of the local fish store… was trying to sale it to them! I actually thought it looks kinda cool, but after consulting with you I don’t have anymore! Thanks for your help bro!

    I ordered scuds to propagate as fish food. The only thing I had available was a 10-gallon that had a lot of b/g algae (S/B) in it. The scuds made short work of all of it !!!!

    tank looks clean after clean up but they will return in a few days. erythromycin can kill it.
