>>327207 Sorry, missed your post. Really? I have used and seen, and heard of Excel used in tanks with pretty sensitive fish without any deaths other than algae and vals. I have heard of problms when people use straight gluteraldyhyde (the active ingredient). Killies, loaches, baby whales, elephant noses, microrasboras/danios etc...all seem to tolerate it. The increased photosynthisis could cuase a problem when the lights go off if adequate circulation is not maintained though, fish suffocating and what not.
My Dario darios and my lone Badis badis all eat a little frozen cyclop-eeze (gotta float right past and kinda hang out a bit). I also see them eat tiny tiny tiny cherry shrimp (which I have a ton of) and amphipods/copepods, watching them (when I can see them lol) is a lot like watching my mandarin goby in my reef tank. I know I am lucky in this respect, but I already had a grindal worm culture for my killies so I was prepared for the worst. My werneri trio eat flake well but love cyclop-eeze too. I've never known one to starve to death, or rarely die for that matter, we have about 30 at the store in a dense 75 that only gets flake food, they breed like nuts, though they lay their eggs in the java then the damn corys go and eat the eggs, that tank has 5 of the fucking fattest corys I've ever seen.
yes, val can be weird, I used the jungle so it could get lush and lay over the top. I just cut it to keep it the right lenght. Believe it or not that is contortion val not corkscrew there too, but it has not gotten nearly as tall as my culture in my other tank, where my jungle is growing lower and bushier, the joys of the hobby I guess. I haven't looked at my tanks yet but I'm sure it is half dead anyway by now lol.
A blessed day to you good /an/on.
