first off you have to dilute the bleach with water about 20 to 1
second you have to rince them untill there is no bleach smell left. if the smell stays you can place them in sunlight to remove the smell as far as the africans it depend on what they are raise in and what lake they are from alot of tank raised africans, i know are raised in 7.0 you should realy find out what they are raised in first |
