Loaches and H2O2

Post by crazy loaches » Sat Jul 07, 2007 3:49 pm

I am just wondering if anyone knows if Clowns are more sensative to H2O2 than any other fish or pant. In preping for the move to my new tank in a few weeks I am trying to kill off all remenants of algae currently in my tank and pretty much the only thing thats an issue any more is thread algae. I really dont want this stuff getting into the new tank, and every plant I move over will probably go through a H202 or bleach dip during the actual move.

I beleive the normal strength dose is 1ml/gallon and some dose 2ml/gallon as an algecide. So I'll at most start with the 1ml/g. Just wanted to double check if anyone here might happen to have done this.

H2O2 is evil stuff and very aggressive. On the positive side it is also VERY unstable (as a liquid), so just let the plants rest in a bucket of water for a few hours and it should be gone completely.
