In an effort to get my smallest Zeb eating I think I've been overfeeding
The result of this is (nice fat fish!) I've now got bugs in the tank!
I've read about a treatment called Flubenol 15 on another website but I was wondering if anyone had used it with their Zebras & if it had any ill effects?
I've emailed the makers but obviously they're in the business of selling it so I'm hoping someone here can give me their personal experience of it.

I assume you've also cut back on your feeding regime too?
I think they could be Harpacticoid Copepods - though that's not confirmed.
They swirl around in any uneaten food & detritus, and cling to the underside of the slate & caves. They remind me of the shrimp like things (scientific description!) that you find under rocks on the beach but much, much smaller - about 2-3mm.
Yes I've cut back on the feeding, but I'm worried that the smallest Zeb gets enough as the other 2 do bully him.
