We ended up taking Avalon out of her tank and soaked her in mild water with two drops of Dawn in it.. Let her swim in that for a good 30 minutes.. I then sprayed some of the Nix mixture in the soapy water with her and let her in it for another 10 mins..
She lives in an aquarium that has two ceramic hides, a water bowl and some vines suction cupped to the back glass. We took all of this and soaked it in Hot water and a cup of the Nix mixture.. Removed all the Cypress Mulch and sprayed the entire glass tank down with the Nix spray.. Let it set a few minutes and wiped dry with paper towels. We put paper towels down as substrate till we see if this kicks the Mites.. Replaced everything
I don't think she has Mites very badly, she just has been soaking a lot lately and I just seen the one on her bowl.. I looked her over really well before we even treated her.. I checked behind her eyes and under her chin( which is really white) and couldn't see any at all? Just the soaking and the one on the water bowel. Possible a few in the water bowel also, but with the wood substrate it's hard to tell.. There was a few rounder black dots though?
Thanks for the tips though! Bill
