About a month ago I bought a very small maybe a 1/2'' blue convict. I put him in my 55g with my 2 jewels. I knew he was to small to go with them but for some reason I did it anyway. Well after 2 days he was no where to be found. I figured they got him. About 5 days ago I was cleaning the tank...
It takes awhile how long I don't know. I had one leech color for about 2 weeks after boiling. It won't hurt anything and when it is done a partial water change and some carbon in the filter clears it right up. I already seen people who like the tea colored water.
