Proper aeration and hatchling Nothos are not a good mix. Hydrogen
Peroxide (H2O2) can be cheaper but you have to get the dose just right
else you burn everything to death. H2O2 also "goes off" as it oxidizes
itself over time---even when kept in the fridge. Oxygen tablets (sold
at your local petstore for goldfish bowls etc...) are not that
expensive. They also don't seem to go off. I expect their chemistry is
similar to that of H2O2.
