should be stotty, i used aerial washing up liquid bot frothed just put in the water after the bath is ready.

Also make sure you have got medusa quarantined if you can to minimise the risk of passing on the mites.

That being the case, make sure they are both on kitchen paper for substrate and keep a close eye on medusa.

good luck

Stotty, I would be surprised if he got it from the food also wouldnt have gotten it from the poop. It is more than likely you passed it onto him from your times at the shop, you work in a rep shop so are more liable to get into contact with these things.

If I am honest with you, I think Alex is EXTREMELY mature, but if you want to that bad then do it.

yup for quite a while yet Stotty. The live mites may be dead/ dying but you will need to keep the treatment up for quite a while yet to make sure you get all the eggs
