Red Bugs

Before you treat your tank with Interceptor, I suggest reading the numerous threads out there from those, including us, who have treated their tanks with Interceptor and then developed an AEFW infestation. Are they related, who knows but there's enough evidence to make you wonder. Three years ago when we had them, it took 3 1/2 months of dipping every acro we had every week to get rid of them. Personally, if we ever had red bugs again, they would
stay there as they really do not do any damage. The bushier acros supposedly will eat the redbugs. They might hurt a softskin, but believe that's about it. Just our opinion...
Funny you should mention this. I had the same thing happen. I had lived with the redbugs for several months, and even though my acros looked good, I decided to use the interceptor. a month later I noticed the AEFW's. I wonder if the RB's snack on the worms as well possibly helping them keep in check. Just a thought.
