Get a UV sterilizer rather than wasting money on chemicals

Never used that product but suggest removing the Clown Loaches. The Arowana or Oscar may eat them.

Has enzymes to break debris and protein. Removes the organic stuff the bacteria maybe feeding on. Can use it. Would just keep with water changes as it’ll eventually settle.

They have a hook like spine under each eye so if either one of the bigger fish attempt to swallow one the spines lock in place eventually death to both fish.

I have never used it, but from what I have read of the reviews Fluval Bio Clear does work well in most cases. Sometimes it may take 3 days.

When I have a problem with that, I use Seachem Purigen or my Odysea skimmer.

Yes. Be cautious. Don’t want to lose fish.

Should be fine. Just don’t overfeed and clean up any leftovers. Then by preventing them it won’t be necessary to use chems.
