I believe, if it was fungus that it would stay on his shell. It sounds more like a problem with your water, but someone else on this list will know better, I'm...
Im not to hot on fungus myself as i swear by using a UV as this should eliminate any bacteria problems i have been using a UV for more than 10yrs before i even...
i dont think uv will eliminate bacteria problems! I raise my FRTs outdoors, under a tropical sun and they still had shell problems because the petshop owner...
I myself have to agree w/Flavia for I see no direct relation between the bacteria and UVB. I have kept C. insculpta indoors for some years now without using...

http://www.fish-supplies.com/aquarium-laser.asp Anyone have any experience with these things? They look cheaper and simpler to install than a UV box. [Non-text...
