Well I gave timmy a spray with some distilled water and he came out of the coocnut house and the red is almost gone!


(Sorry about the poor focus, the glasss was a bit misty)

What I did was:

-I scrubbed and chlorine bleached all his big shale rocks and rinced the gravel inder the tap in a pail till it rinsed perfectly clear (as opposed to the usual aquarium syphon style of gravel cleaning)

-I threw away all the old base substrate (potting soil in stockings) and rplaces it with styrofoam and aquarium sponge

-cleaned the fake plants and his coconut house and glass with vinager

-then I rinsed rinsed evereything and gave him this stuff called "Stress coat" in his water that removed chlorine also has aloe vera in it to make his skin all youthful and pretty. And it did!

I will keep an eye on him tomorrow and see if he still needs a vet. What a remarkable change.
