Thanx for your sentiments & advice Bruce. I do, of course, have the option
of euthanising the whole tank full of rainbowfish et al but can't bring
myself to do it just yet - so for the moment, it's effectively a quarantine
tank - nothing else goes in & nothing comes out (that's alive, ie). I've
read the article you've referred to (it's excellent) & following the
chlorine treatment for the hospital tank, will spray it with ethanol. Deanne
