    Even though it's not sharp you still don't want him ingesting any bedding! Shredded newspaper can still cause impaction.

    Re: Parasite treatment???

    Yep, I checked it. There were no regurgitated/uneaten fish in his cage. I also found fresh feces, it looked normal except that it had a very small(less than 1/2 inch) bit of what looked like undigested fish. Is that normal for his first meal of f/t silversides?

    Thanks for all your help!

    It dried up really fast, now it's just barely noticeable, very light brown dust.
