Re: Mites!!!
Get a can of Provent -a- Mite and follow the directions on the side of the can. Mites will be gone before you know it.

Re: Mites!!!
I must say I was skeptical of PAM (Provent-A-Mite), but we used it for one of our girls we got a couple months back. We did 2 treatments two weeks apart following the directions, and have not seen a mite since .....

Re: Mites!!!
i too have had this problem with vernon. and i followed advice to the letter, giving him betadine baths and finally, getting my hands on some provent-a-mite. and PAM is the solution. really good stuff. good luck with your problem. i only had to do the treatment on the tank once!
