@CurtisRFrench There was a thread in the ZHA list a while ago. I think the consensus was if it occurs only after feeding it is swim bladder-gut inflammation (fish farts). Solutions were to reduce food amount or feeding pellets with a pipet to reduce gulping the air.

Minipreps! They're a fact of life. But if they don't bring you joy, you might want to try new tactics or treat yourself to some fun new toys!

Our lab has done 2,625 minipreps so far. Let me share a few tidbits about our approach and our favorite pieces of equipment. 🧵 (1/n)

I would invest in a company that specialized in removing mRNA products from people's systems.

Surely, there would be a lot of interest in such a procedure, if it even is possible.

Cellular trash removal, if successful, would be enormously profitable these days.

@insideAfish @ZebrafishRock We use bleach. If you have a dining hall, reach out to whoever is in charge of their equipment maintenance. For us they were so helpful figuring out what dishwasher possible in our space.
