- metro, no effect
- rid ich+ (formalin/malachite green combo), no effect
To grow a bunch, keep them warm (80F+) and feed high protein food at least 2-3 times a week. Veggies like canned, french-cut green beans and boiled, frozen kale make good staples. Have a lot of surface area like wood, moss, sponges, gravel, ceramic media, etc. Make regular water changes, too. Tap water is fine.
