Hey there guys! I simply deworm fish every 2-3 months with a round of de-worming flake from AngelPlus. I do not follow their suggested guidelines, which is a 10 routine where the fish are only fed once, every other day. Instead, I follow a routine where I feed the fish 2-3 times each day for 4 days, only with the medicated flake.
As far as adding minerals to the water, I used Seachem Cichlid Salts and Calcium Chloride to bring up the gH and a bag of Coral Calcium was placed in each tank. Reasoning for this is my tap water is super soft, very little gh and no kH. When I got home, all the fish were happy as hippos. They were not fed once the entire time and went 3 weeks like some champs. When I got home, I did 50% water changes on all tanks with straight tap and removed the coral calcium bags. The next day I did a 100% water change straight from tap and all the fish were spawning, laying eggs on the tank floors/walls ANYWHERE!! LOL
All the best fellas,
Eddie
