Most can be used with invertabrites and scaleless fish, just at a lesser does.

If you can, incresase the temp slowly in your tank and get some ws3 or something like that. Its by King British. I used it at half dose because of my banjo and it worked a treat. You must follow the intstructions and also increase aeration in the tank while treating as it increases surface tension.

Also remove carbon, UV, Zeolite from your filters.

thanks spooky
my lfs only had tetra contraspot, is this OK with my other tank inhabitants? Also is it any good in general?

Another thing is it dosent have any information on repeat dosage, do I just add the same every day?

thanks

Edit, the website says: Treatment should be repeated at weekly intervals. Prior to redosing, it is advisable to perform a 20-30% water change.
