i have tried erythromiacin tablets in a black package with cherry reds. They did fine, and I treated for a week. The algae hasn't come back, it's been a year.

I haven't lost any! I am very surprised. I put a small mesh net over my filter intake so I didn't suck any through it. They are all about half the size of my adults, and only a couple months old. They eat algae all day long. Thank you for all your responses.

I just saw baby cherry reds yesterday. Does anyone know if there's any special care requirements? Do I need to feed them anything, or let them eat algae in the tank? Also do I need to separate them? Thank you for any info you can give me. WOOHOO!
