Sam, a couple of people noted that after treating their tank for cyano, using various cyano killers, that the red bugs had vanished. I suspect the cyano(which is highly toxic) died, ticked off the acros enough to cause them to slime up for a day (symptom reported). The toxins adsorbed to the slime and were consumed by the bugs. Result = dead bugs. They are small and probably feed constantly, so toxic slime over the 24 hours reported would affect every one of them. Both these people confirmed that the bugs had not returned after this. I plan on setting up a nano red bug acro tank and replicating this scenario.
