Over dose your tank with seachem excel. Take out the fauna first though, especially if they are shrimp.

I would recommend buying 2-3 SAE. My bba was gone within 4days and now I'm looking forward for bba to feed my SAE. Overdosing of seachem will cure bba buy also has effect on plant. Some of my plant cannot take it and died.

SAE are good swimmers( hard to catch them) remember to buy the real SAE.

Bro, is yr tank on crs, if not sae really do the job in a few days, however sae will also eat up yr moss, for me I have sae in and out to another tank if they are not needed, 2 adult for a 5fts tank is already too much hassle

I do not know if Yamato does the same job for bba, but if you have crs, then no Yamato

Even Yamatos cannot clear BBA bro, let alone CRS. There's no cure for BBA, I've done everything in my powers to kill them and they always comes back. They can no longer overrun my tanks, and only hides in corners, but still an eyesore

Dosing excel and black out tank.
But 1 problem is that it will return after that.
Normal to appear especially on ferns & nana.
Fought with it for months, finally give up and dump those infected away.
