The purpose of this list is to share experiences and help each other be better aquarists. Your comments only point up your own ignorance. But I suppose you know all, hut tell little. At least others attempted to help rather than spit out completely non-productive vitriol. I hope the time comes that you need help. But of course, I'm SURE that will never happen, right? You're a disgrace! -----Original Message----- From: owner-apisto@admin.listbox.com [mailto:owner-apisto@admin.listbox.com]On Behalf Of Steve J.

First i post on this ML even though i am here for a long, long time ... real hard to let this one escape though. Let me just confess i never - NEVER - seen such heavy quantities of blatant ignorance and right down stupidity joined together in on single, simple message. My sincere congratulations. You have gone where few have gone before. That's a whole new kind of dumb. : Does anyone know a way to get rid of Malaysian live bearing snails? I : have a 90 gal with sand substrate and a Fluval filter. I had a : persistent bacterial infection in the tank and decided to sterilize it. : So I added 1/2 gallon of bleach, which I thought would clear anything : out. : : It didn't even bother the snails. 4 days after treatment they were back. : : I am currently trying super dosing Aquarisol (copper based treatment). : Guess what? : The snails are still making tracks. : : I'd really rather not get rid of the sand because it took a very long : time to clean it. I have been sifting it to ensure penetration of the : disinfectant. : : I have been sieving them out, but it won't get rid of them properly, and : I'm worried they may be carrying the infection. : : Help! : : Dominic Stones : Richmond Hill, Ontario ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the apistogramma mailing list, apisto@listbox.com.
